Slovak

If you'd like to meet with fellow Slovaks and Czechs on the Easter Monday, please, join us at the picnic. It takes place at the Finns Reserve, which has a good playground for children and nice walks, too. Bring along an Easter platter to share with others and drinks.

The Slovak Social Club "Ludovit Stur" are having an Easter dinner party on the Easter Sunday night, to which everybody is welcome. This is what their Facebook invitation says:

Come and enjoy the night with friends, great food, entertainment provided by our Slovak band Zmena 5 and we might even have a special visit by the Easter bunny on the night. Just don't forget to get in touch with Andy Guljas on guljasam@gmail.com or 0401684215 and book your tickets. Hope to see you there. Entry fee, including smorgesbord dinner, is $20 for club members, $30 for non-members.

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.

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.
