Picnic at Hanging Rock

Date: 
Sunday, 15 May 2011 - 11:00am
Location: 
Hanging Rock
South Rock Rd
Woodend, VIC 3442

After a great Easter picnic at Finns Reserve in Templestowe, organized by the Havrilas, with plenty of home made food, an epic game of soccer and around 30 guests, we're heading outdoors again. Hanging Rock, a former volcano, a distinctive geological formation a few kilometers north of Mount Macedon is a great place to spend a day with friends and fellow countrymen.

Czech and Slovak Night at Koliba: The April Fools Special

Date: 
Monday, 4 April 2011 - 6:00pm
Location: 
Koliba Czech and Slovak Restaurant
11 Johnston St
Collingwood, VIC 3066 37° 47' 56.5908" S, 144° 59' 5.8056" E

After over a hundred people showed up at Sumava last month for a huge night out, we're returning to Koliba. This is going to be the fifth time we're having a Czech and Slovak Night and again, it's a special one. On Monday, 4. April, we're having an April Fools themed night!

What exactly the April Fools theme means we don't know. It's up to you. You show us! We all love to share a laugh and don't mind laughing at ourselves, so anything that would make you look like a fool will do. A silly t-shirt, a pen that gives electric shocks or a full fledged costume, it's all up to you. If you believe not wearing a mask is what makes you look like a fool the most, it's your choice. Also, feel free to come up with jokes and pranks, just play it safe.

You may be interested to hear that the night's funniest person is to be awarded a $1.000 voucher from Koliba Restaurant. Just a heads-up, the one and only DJ Hukacka himself is attending, too. If you can beat his funny face and win, it's the money well earned.

Czech and Slovak Newsletter - February 2011

Dear friend,

The Czech and Slovak Night

What a night! Kransky and goulash cooked over campfire, beer on tap, camping at Sumava, but most of all, people made the fourth Czech and Slovak Night a huge success. With almost 90 paying attendees we reached well over 100 visitors altogether, some of them from as far as Warrnambool and Malesice. Heaps of pictures from the night have been uploaded to Facebook already, here's a few more on the VodaFest website, taken by the photographer Juraj Polak: http://vodafest.org/gallery/czech-and-slovak-night-sumava

The January 2011 Czech and Slovak Newsletter

 

Dear friend,

A few days late, but better late than never, here's another Czech and Slovak newsletter. It's been a busy month, with all the Christmas and New Year's events organized by both the Czech and Slovak communities. We hope you've had a peaceful, very traditional Christmas and wish you a great year of 2011.

Czech and Slovak Night at Sumava Peksa Park

Saturday, 12 February 2011 - 10:00am
Location: 
Sumava Peksa Park
46 Locks Way
Belgrave South, VIC 3160 37° 56' 12.5664" S, 145° 21' 52.2684" E

The Czech and Slovak nights have now become a tradition in Melbourne. With the January one replaced with the visit of the Slovak Embassy in Canberra, the 2011 Australia Day People's March and the picnic, the next one has to be huge! And it will!

This time it's going to be literally a night! Actually, it's going to be more than a night! A full Czech and Slovak day and night, and then another day, starting at 10AM on Saturday, 12. February, going for the entire Saturday, the night and finishing on the Sunday morning.
