Thanks to everyone who came to the Gig Buddies group social events in October.
In October we had a bunch of new activities that were super fun and very popular.
Firstly, thanks to Crockd Bondi for hosting a pottery session at a discounted rate for Gig Buddies. Everyone had a great time and created some masterpieces in the process.
Later in the month we were lucky to get a guided tour of Taronga Zoo by gig buddies Lauren and Brianna. As well as their awesome educational tour, we also had front row seats at the seal and bird shows.
