Play 3-Sided Soccer at Albert Park - mixed - social - all levels - all fitness

Play 3-Sided Soccer at Albert Park - mixed - social - all levels - all fitness

Sat, Oct 3, 10:00 PM
From Melbourne 3-Sided Soccer - Mixed play, all levels, Sundays
4.9

3 Teams. 3 Goals. Hexagonal Pitch. A game of alliance and betrayal in equal measure. We are looking for new players and returning players alike to come play a match. Players of any ability, fitness level or background are welcomed - the game is intended to be fun for a Sunday morning rather than super competitive. If you've never played before, that's okay - the rules are as simple as this: * There's no offside - roam where you will * Defend your goal at all costs * No hands (this is soccer-style football after all) Come down for 9:00am, we make some balanced teams and warm up for the match starting at 9:15. Three thirds are played of 25 minutes each so we're usually done by about 11:00am. All fitness and soccer skill levels more than welcome and encouraged! A note regarding junior players: We very much enjoy and encourage junior players to come along and play however please be aware of the following: * As most attendees are adults, all players must be a minimum of 1.5m tall and 13 years of age. Soccer may have incidental contact when contesting a ball, and we would hate for someone small to be injured as a result of running into someone larger than them. * Any players under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a playing parent or guardian. How to find us - We meet on the astroturf pitch near the Baselball and Hockey clubs in Albert Park. The main location we use is called "Dorothy Coleman Field". If we aren't there then there may be a couple of other locations, [as noted on this dynamic map](https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1JdDwV4AOV5e-xP5d56m16-eu29GlnZQ&usp=sharing) \- generally we will follow in number order\.

Hi Radiant Ladies, Another lovely lunch is on the way! We’re heading back to Max on Hardware Lane — one of Melbourne’s most charming little laneways, full of character and buzz. Tucked away from the main streets, Hardware Lane always has that special Melbourne charm — great food, lovely atmosphere, and even better company. Can’t wait to see you all there! Lyn 🌸

Sunday Bus: Tallarook Forest-Warragul Rocks-Mt Hickey - 13.5km/16.5km - 4 Oct

Sunday Bus: Tallarook Forest-Warragul Rocks-Mt Hickey - 13.5km/16.5km - 4 Oct

Sat, Oct 3, 9:30 PM
From Melbourne Bushwalkers = Hiking
4.8

**WALK DESCRIPTION:** Come join 25+ of our members on these walks. This walk will include Mt Hickey for the medium group which has not been scaled by our club for over 15 years. This adds extra time and distance to this walk so Trawool Reservoir will not be included – this also applies to the Easy/Medium group. However Warragul Rocks will be visited by both groups for which we have permission to enter as it is located on private property. In fact the owner, Ron Milanovic, a delightful chap, said he would restrict entry to any other group on that day. The view of the Goulburn River valley, upstream and down from Warragul Rocks is awe inspiring and the Tallarook Forest, through which most of our walking is done, is interesting. It’s a dry schlerophyll mixed eucalyptus forest – manna (so we might see some koalas), messmate, candlebark and box with an understory of ferns, wattles and acacias. Some orchids were also seen on the preview. There was also a profusion of birdlife. However as it will be spring our legless ground hogging skinny reptile friends will be about so long pants or gaiters should be the order of the day **The paths:** Most of our paths are on old forest access tracks or single file bush walking tracks. Some sections of these old access tracks have steep bits of over several hundred metres and can be quite a grind – these can also be deeply rutted as they are the playground of 4WD enthusiasts however it is possible to bush bash around these. It should be noted though, if it is raining or the track is wet then they will be quite slippery so poles are recommended. There are no tracks where steep drop offs are encountered so no problem for those prone to vertigo. Please carry at least 2 litres of water and bring a change of shoes for the trip back. . **DISTANCE(S):** 13.5km and 16.5km . **TOTAL ASCENT(S):** 470m Rise and 630m Rise . **GRADINGS:** Easy/Medium and Medium **Easy/Medium (E/M):** More consistent walking, mostly on tracks or in open country, but with some significant hills, probably some stretches of light scrub. Possibility of some rock hopping. Distances up to 19km but may be much shorter depending on the difficulty of the terrain. Reasonable lunch and rest stops. **Medium (M):** Consistent walking on tracks or in open bushland, usually with patches of thicker scrub, several moderate climbs, and/or rock hopping. Distances up to about 22kms with reasonable rest stops. A good level of fitness and walking experience is required. **.** **PLEASE NOTE:** Your RSVP on MeetUp lets us know who may be interested but does not add you to the booking list. To register and pay for the walk you must visit our clubrooms (details below). Come join our many members who will also do this walk! . **HOW TO BOOK AND PAY:** (a) Visit the Melbourne Bushwalkers' clubrooms on either of the two Wednesday evenings before the walk, speak to the leader and, if it is agreed to walk, make a payment to secure your place on the bus. (b) To cancel a Sunday Walk booking before 4pm on the Thursday before the walk, send a note to sunday@mbw.org.au. A credit will be issued for a future walk. (c) To cancel a Sunday Walk booking after 4pm on the Thursday before the walk contact the walk leader direct. You should be given the walk leader contact details at the time of booking. (d) The costs for the walk are $30 bus fare plus $10 visitor fee if you are not a paid-up Member of Melbourne Bushwalkers. . **OUR CLUBROOMS:** Our clubrooms are located at The Mission to Seafarers Victoria, 717 Flinders Street, Docklands. We are open Wednesday nights 6:30pm - 8.00pm. . **CONTACT US:** To contact us regarding this walk send an email to sunday@mbw.org.au. We do not regularly check the MeetUp site for messages and the above address will get a faster response. **.** **CAN I MEET AT THE START OF THE WALK?** No! Since Sunday Bus walks are generally walks starting and finishing at two widely separated locations we do not accept walkers meeting at the start of the walk. There is no way for them to get back to their transport. We can arrange for a pick-up and drop-off at a designated location along the route closer to Melbourne, however, the full bus fee is still payable since a seat has to be kept free on the bus. . **IMPORTANT TO KNOW:** Registration (membership) on Meetup is not the same as paid-up Membership of MBW. To become a paid-up Member with online booking and other benefits see: [https://mbw.org.au/MBW_membership.php](https://mbw.org.au/MBW_membership.php) . **WHAT TO BRING:** A day pack containing: \*Lunch, a morning and afternoon snack. \* Full water bottle - we recommend 2 litres, more in warmer weather. \*An unlined waterproof jacket or cape, waterproof over-trousers (if your jacket is short). \* Whistle, pencil and paper. \*Personal and first aid items, including sun screen, lip screen, toilet paper, identification, Club green Health Card, some money etc. Note: The leader always carries a first aid kit. \* A change of footwear for the trip back. . **DO YOU HAVE COMPREHENSIVE AMBULANCE COVER?** The Club strongly recommends that all participants have comprehensive personal ambulance cover. . **MORE DETAILS:** The visit to the clubrooms on a Wednesday before a walk is to cover three things: (a) Provide background on the club and ensure all walkers are familiar with the safety and courtesy guidelines we adopt; (b) Meet with the leader of the walk who will be in the clubrooms to discuss any special features of the walk and ensure that adequate gear and fitness requirements are met. (c) Sign an Acknowledgement of Risk form and pay the visitor fee (10) and bus fee (30) to reserve a seat on the bus. No booking is accepted until the payment is received. . **DAY WALKS BY BUS** with Melbourne Bushwalkers: [https://mbw.org.au/mbw_activities/walks/MBW_bus_walks.php](https://mbw.org.au/mbw_activities/walks/MBW_bus_walks.php)
