Tonight is the eve of the first Adelaide steemit catch-up. The event is hosted by @mattclarke who has not only pulled the mallsballers, Adelaide's steemit users, together but has kindly offered to put on a BBQ with some beverages to wash it all down. What a champ! The event will be held at Bonython Park just west of the city. The park boasts 17 hectare's of parkland with walking and bike trails, a playground, boating lake and a kiosk. It's a magnet for families looking to spend some quality time in the outdoors.
I haven't met Matt yet, nor any other steemit user other than my family members however he has made many comments on my posts and we have interacted on steemit a little. I'm planning to turning up, meeting some new people and seeing how things play out. I have convinced my wife to come along. She's not on steemit but she understands how much I enjoy writing on the platform so is happy to support me by joining me at the catch up. I'm looking forward to meeting some other #mallsballers and if you're wondering what the name refers to...Well, in The CBD open-air-shopping mall is a sculpture of a couple of big balls. They stand 4 meters high and were created by Bert Flugelman. The Spheres as they are officially known were erected in 1977. I was a kid of 7 but remember the hype. From the day they were erected they became the place to meet and it's not uncommon to hear an Adelaidian say, "I'll meet you at the Mall's balls." And so, we're the mallsballers.
Matt has arranged to record the event with photos and video, I think, so am sure there'll be a post or two about the catch -up. The weather is looking ike 24 degrees and sunny with a possibly shower or two later in the afternoon. I doubt It'll trouble us. I'm not sure how many will join us but I'm pretty sure we'll have a great time...I mean, we're Adelaidians after all. It's what we do.

Looking forward to it!
Sounds like a wonderful time of fellowship and positive energy. From what I have learned of @mattclarke, he is a great guy full of understanding, forward thinking ideas, supportive of others and a great guy to know. Wishing you the best.
I have been told the same thing about @mattclarke. He sounds like a top bloke.
Don't believe this. Its all lies.
I'm really excited to see the blogs of this. I hope the Brisbane one went well today too.
Well sir great to know that you r planning to go there well it's not possible for me . Because I am from India and actually blog to a poor class family.
Welll wish you all the best
If I waited for somebody to organise one, I'd still be waiting.
Be the guy you're looking for.
Yaaa sir I am doing effort in that direction.
Sir can u plz suggest me how can I improve my blog.
You're just posting motivational/inspirational posts you find on the internet, and resteeming other people's posts.
Write your own original content, and build a following.
Be clever, insightful, warm and supportive, and stop posting things that aren't yours.
People hate that here, and it'll never get you anywhere good.
Okk sir now u understand and further I will try to put my own content over here . Thank for your great suggestions sir .
You're actually here very early in the life of this platform.
If you post well, frequently and for a long time, in a year or two you will be the person everyone travels to see.
Lots of people will come looking for your help.
Well sir thank for your response and give suggestions to me and really your word are motivation for me.
Looks like you guys are going to have lots of fun, these meets look like so much fun!
The most fun was walking away with my silvers. :)
Tried to get them the same size, but hard to get the focus right.
NB: I'm not wearing nail polish.
I love the way you have to clarify that you're not wearing nail polish! :) I'm really looking forward to tomorrow. Is there a particular area you'll be in at the park? And alo, do you need me to bring anything. Happy to pitch in where required.
I think we're good, mate.
Just folding chairs for you and Mrs KP and a couple of vegetarian patties.
Bring your own camera if you want to post about it.
The more the merrier.
Copy that. Looking forward to meeting you.
Hey. WHere and where is the next meet-up? Where I can follow these events?
Not sure @aldczak. @mattclarke arranged the first one which was good. I assume something will come up in the new year. Feel free to start the process mate, we’ll get behind it. Work on a central location and a time that might suit the bulk of people. A pub for a brew would be a good idea.
Hey I am from Adelaide and new to steem it . Also would love you all to check my page out and vise versa :)
Henry
