Archie Bros Moorabbin $19 unlimited activities

**The Deal** I have done this before and basically we can bowl (for as long as we want so long as no one else needs the lane), play (timed) arcade games and do a mini golf round. It's exceptionally good value in my opinion. You don't have to show up at 5.30pm if it's too early - you can come later. ***\*\* Needs at least four of us to go ahead \*\**** **Parking** \- you can park on the surrounding streets after 5pm with no time limit **Bowling Lanes** \- you can't book lanes ahead of time with this deal\. We need to create the lanes when we show up and give our names to the attendants at that time\.\.\. What I mean is, if you plan on showing up later, you should comment and then possibly coordinate with others who are also showing up later so you can book a lane with your names at that time **T&Cs from Archie Bros** ***-*** *Walk in only, from 5pm. Unlimited Play offer applies to Time Play cards only, not redeemable on ticket or prize machines.* ***-*** *Offers not valid on public holidays or public holiday eves. Not redeemable with any other offer, promotion, or party package. Subject to availability. Not all activities or games may apply.* *(When I asked about availability this last time, they said if no one else comes in to bowl, we can keep bowling).*

Street Photography - Entering the Frame

The theme for this street photography event in Melbourne CBD is to find one (or maybe two) locations with an interesting background and to wait for a subject to walk into the scene. **How this is going to work** We will move to 3 different spots in the city where we will allocate about 1.5 hours per spot and let you loose during that time. Find an interesting background and wait for a subject(s) to walk pass to photograph. We ask that you avoid wandering off too far as we will re-group before moving to our next location and do the same thing. I anticipate we will still run this event even if it's a bit wet - you can do photography in the rain. However if the weather is really wet - we may need to postpone. So please check this page the day before the event. **Schedule** 10.00am - Meet **undercover at the entrance of the State Library** for a welcome and briefing. 10.15am - **Location 1** \- surrounding areas near the **State Library** to find your background. 11.15am - Re-group at the front of the State Library and move to **Location 2 (Bourke Mall - in front of Myer)** 11.30am - Explore around Bourke Mall and you could include Chinatown 12.45pm - Re-group at Bourke Mall in front of Myer and head to Federation Square for lunch at **Food Court (South Bank)** 1.00pm - Lunch at **Food Court (South Bank)** 2.15pm - Location 3 - Federation Square and it's surrounding area 3.30pm - Meet at Time Out Cafe for coffee and cake (it's apparently opened now) 4.30pm - Event ends Look forward to having you join us at this event.
