What are Gig Buddies Group Social Events?
Gig Buddies group social events are hosted by the GB team so that participants* with a Gig Buddies Service Agreement** and active volunteers can catch up and do fun stuff in a group setting.
Monthly group social events are held all over Metro Sydney and Central Coast.
* a Gig Buddies participant has mild to moderate learning disability and/or autism
** paying the monthly administration fee
The main focus of the Gig Buddies project is to "buddy-up" participants and volunteers so they can catch up and go to their own events together.
Gig Buddies group social events are a "bonus" way for participants to meet people and socialise.
All group social events are run as "not-for-profit".
Participants only pay for a group social event if they need to cover the cost of admission tickets, venue hire and/or catering.
Group social events are included* for all participants with an active service agreement with Gig Buddies.
* participants pay for their own food and drinks (unless a catered event)
What: Explore the Bayeux Tapestry
Where: From the comfort of your own home!
Date: Monday 9 November
Timings: 7 - 8pm
Tell me about the gig: The Bayeux Tapestry has gone on public display in the UK for the first time since it was created nearly 1,000 years ago.
It was originally embroidered in England but kept for centuries in France, and tells the story of the Norman conquest of England and the Battle of Hastings in 1066.
Currently on show at the British Museum, join us for a virtual exploration of one of the world’s most famous historical objects.
Host: Carol (0412 487 959)
