Due to popular demand we are adding extra bushwalking dates to our social calendar.
Last Monday we revealed news about the bushwalks we’re facilitating between June and the end of August. A number sold out within days, while the rest are on the verge of booking out. Therefore, we have decided to add the following hikes to our calendar:
Location: Eastern Suburbs
Location: Sydney CBD
Location: Northern Beaches
In line with respecting the need to social distance, each walk has been limited to 11 attendees (including one Gig Buddies Sydney staff member). Attendance is free - click on the links listed above to join us.
And, as mentioned, we still have limited spots available for the following walks: Lane Cove Valley walk, Friday 7 August (6 places available); Cronulla Beach Walk, Saturday 8 August (3 places available); Hornsby Blue Gum Walk, Saturday 15 August (4 places available).
Eyes down
In other news, this week buddies are invited to join us online for virtual bingo and our ‘numbers, numbers, numbers’ quiz.
With regards to this week’s quiz, this is not a maths test - we are not going back to school! Rather, all answers are numerical. For example, do you know the year when Neighbours first appeared on Australian TV? Do you know how old Scott Morrison is?

To take part in our 'numbers, numbers, numbers' quiz, buddies will need to access two devices - one to run Zoom and the other to enable the Kahoot! app. For example, buddies could access Zoom via a desktop computer/laptop and load up the Kahoot! app on a smartphone or tablet.
