Footprints 2013 walk

Today our team did a nice walk to the Yarra River, crossed the river and headed east. Crossed the bridge and headed for Exhibition st... then back to the State Library. My count was 6,554. Looking forward to next weeks walk.  All part of GCC and keeping fit.

Thursday night dinners and Explore English class continue to be a success.  A great way to help international students with the practical help of English Language class. We have also had working holiday visa friends come for the dinners.

Thursday night dinners 2011

Thursday night dinners started off for 2011 on 3 March.
This year the starting time is 7.30PM, this is due to an explore English class that is held before dinner begins. The English class is from 6.30PM to 7.30PM.

Please email me if you are interested in help with your English. Currently we have a few from China at the English Class.
Email me to hawthorn.neil@gmail.com

Class and dinner are held in Melbourne, Australia.

Footprints 2011

Footprints 2011 will be another success in the Global Corporate Challenge.
We are a great team from various areas of the State Library of Victoria.

Footprints in our name for the past 3 years.

Each year we have come out on top.
Each year it gets harder as other State Library teams try to be number one.

Looking forward to a great time May - September.

Thursday night dinners 2009

Thursday night dinners have resumed for 2009.

We have started off "small" around 10 guests each Thursday.

Chinese and South Korean are the main countries represented.

It has become "a home away from home" for some recent arrivals to Melbourne.

If you are coming to Melbourne, Australia to study English, send a note to my email, or make a note on my blog (I do not check it each day).

Tonight is the last Thursday night dinner of 2008.

2008 has come and gone fast. Photos for the dinner are linked to my Thursday night dinner Subject area. Enjoy the photo's. hard to believe another year of dinners has come to an end. Look forward to starting up again when I come back from Asia.

There will most likely be no Thursday night Dinners from mid Sept to mid Oct 2009 as I will be O/S.

The conclusion

My time has been a great opportunity to broaden my understanding of how to use web 2.0 for library and other uses.

Surprised as to how many different places around the world have logged in to my blog.... even Southern Africa. Will continue to learn more about the wonderful new world of cyberspace.
