Geelong Picnic planning.

[Mikail]

For some insane reason I'd bet they'll be going to Donny brook XRVOL. N point in asking them.

Not sure who you'd contact. Perhaps the members of Geelong's Macedonian community would be starting point.

Mikail, 25th of December is not on the Orthodox Calendar, after Sveti Nikola which is today there is nothing else on. I wouldnt mind eating a few posni sarmicina.

Yes, i agree. I didn't bother asking the churches after their anti-Geeling record in the past.

The Macedonian Community Council of Victoria was contacted which resulted in not even one reply. Pathetic considering if you contact them about their own events they would reply to you on the day. Just goes to show the state of our community organisations.

Anyway, i ended up obtaining some useful information for the day which i will post up a bit later on.

It really is a shame because even a little bit of contact with the City of Greater Geelong (who were very willing to work together) can go a long way in making the day much better for the Macedonians who go there and a step in the direction of reviving (what was) the biggest day in the Victorian community's calendar.

I agree mate. The state of affairs is in a bit of a shambles for us.

Let us know what's going on as we are planning to make the trip over to Geelong ourselves.

@ Prolet

are you trying to enlighten me brother?

[XRVOL]

Eastern Park, including Hearne Parade, Upper Hearne Parade, Podbury Drive, Eastern Park Circuit, Limeburners Road, Glen Ave and a section of Holt Road will be closed to all vehicular traffic from approximately 6.00am to approximately 6.00pm on Christmas Day, Saturday 25 December 2010.

A limited amount of parking will be available within Eastern Park. Access is available via the Garden Street and Malop Street entrance or Holt Road off Ryrie Street.

Basically, most people will congregate around the football ovals and Eastern Beach.
