Anonymous Readings

Please buy your ticket on eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1996438103109?aff=oddtdtcreator The heart of this event is creating a space for writing that feels a little too vulnerable, strange, personal, or unconventional for a typical open mic. Bring a poem, journal entry, story, lyrics, letter, or any piece of writing you’d like to share. It might be something you’ve always wanted to read aloud or share but never quite found the right space for. Maybe it’s deeply personal. Maybe it’s dark, funny, messy, intense, embarrassing, provocative, or unfinished. Whatever it is, this is a space where the focus is on honesty and expression. When you arrive, you’ll place your writing into a hat anonymously. Everyone will then draw a piece at random and read someone else’s work aloud. Your words get to be heard without the pressure of standing up and claiming them as your own. This is a participant-focused event. Everyone who attends is encouraged to bring a piece of writing and take part in the anonymous readings. The idea is that we’re all readers, writers, and supporters of one another. As the community grows, we may open future events to spectators, but for now I’d love everyone to participate.

Casual Sunday Futsal in Eveleigh ⚽️

⚽ **Want to kick off your Sunday the right way?** Looking to play futsal in Sydney? Say no more — we’ve got you covered! Join us **every Sunday at 10 AM** at South Eveleigh Sports Courts for fast-paced, good-vibes futsal. Whether you’re a seasoned baller or you’ve never touched a futsal ball before — if you love football, you’re one of us. We play on hard ground, so leave the spike boots at home (unless you enjoy sliding around like Bambi on ice ). *** **One golden rule:** Cancelling after **12 PM on Saturday** means you’re out for future games. If you say you’re coming, you’re coming. Why? Because commitment is the only “fee” we charge. No drama, no flakes — just good people and good football. If you’re cool with that, we’ll welcome you with open arms. Fair warning, though… Once you join, you’ll probably want to play every week. See you on Sunday! ⚽

SUNDAY/SAILING/TEACH YOU TO SAIL BECOME PART OF MY CREW MAKE FRIENDS FOR LIFE

BECAUSE I TEACH TO FIND ONGOING CREW MY REQUIREMENTS ARE MAX WEIGHT 70kg up to 40yrs of age On any sailing day, there may also be my regular crew or people I have introduced through the Facebook Crew Finder and my self. However, my small yacht never carries more than 6 in total. If the event is full make sure you join the wait list I move people around to going if there really keen and learning well or if someone drops out 1. AS IM LOOKING FOR GENUINE PEOPLE WANTING TO LEARN HOW TO SAIL WHICH WILL TAKE SOME MONTHS PREFER PEOPLE STAYING IN SYDNEY AT LEAST 12 MONTHS EVEN BETTER IF YOU LIVE HERE 2. IF YOUR NOT COMING TO LEARN GO ON A FERRYTHIS ISNT A ONE DAY SIGHT SEEING TRIP 3. For safety reasons, you must be able to SWIM OR AT LEAST FLOAT and be comfortable on water. 4. ITS VERY SELDOM SOMEONE WOULD FALL IN ONE IN FORTY YEARS. 5. 5,Also for safety reasons, you must be able to understand and speak English to enable you to react quickly to a whole new vocabulary of words that you will need to learn Unfortunately I need to make decisions that are best for my boat as, when racing, I only carry a crew of 4, who MUST be fit and agile. This is vital to enable you to move quickly around a small yacht when it heels (leans over) as much as 30 degrees and be ready to sit with your legs over the rail after tacking (changing course). My yacht wins in most seasons and I'm extremely competitive. We DO NOT carry crew who just sit on the rail, and you must be willing to work as a team. **PLEASE REMEMBER YOU’RE COMING TO BE TAUGHT HOW TO SAIL SO I NEED TO POINT OUT A FEW THINGS FOR SAFETY REASONS** 1. Wear clothes suitable for sailing – MOST IMPORTANT – rubber, soft-soled shoes with good grip. NO THONGS OR BARE FEET! 2. If you have long hair, TIE IT UP 3. Glasses and hats need to be tied with cord or similar – I’ve seen so many disappear overboard. 4. If you have sailing or gym gloves, bring them to protect hands from rope burn. 5. 5 Strong advice - please remove rings from fingers, and super-long nails really hurt when bent or caught 6.If your a poor swimmer i suggest you obtain a life jacket i have life jackets on board in case of a emergency but the are bulky and hard to move in
