Friday Night Fun Crew 🎉

We’re tossing around the idea of heading to a pub for some schnitzels and watching the footy on the big screen 🍻🏉

We could even kick things off with a game of bowling at Cross Road beforehand 🎳

Now the important question… which hotel should we hit up?

Drop your suggestions and feedback below 👇 — help us make it exactly what you want (otherwise we’ll just pick and you’re stuck with it 😄

Important Update – Upcoming My Mates Place Sessions

Hey everyone! Just a quick heads-up about our upcoming schedule:
• This Sunday’s Indoor Cricket – We’ll have a smaller group as Mia won’t be assisting.
• Easter & School Holidays – Indoor Cricket will take a break for two weeks, and Friday Night Socials will also be paused over Easter.
• Friday, 24th April – No Friday Night Socials as Maddie and I will be away celebrating our anniversary.

I’m sorry for any inconvenience or for anyone feeling like they’re missing out. I’ll make sure to reach out personally to keep everyone updated.

In the meantime, enjoy this beautiful weather — living in Adelaide, we’re truly blessed! 🌞

Thanks for your understanding,
Luke

Friday night fun at the Hang Pad tonight! 🏉🔥

We’ll be watching the Crows take on the Bulldogs — let’s go Crows! ❤️💙💛

I think we’re pretty much at capacity, so if you already know you’re coming… you’re in 👍
If you’re a maybe or last-minute starter, flick me a message and I’ll see if I can squeeze you in 😉

Also, don’t forget to vote! 🗳️
There’s an early voting centre at the Brighton Rugby Club if you want to get it done nice and easy.

See you tonight for a great game and good vibes! 🍕

We’ll have Pizza Pan and birthday cake sorted, so come along for a great night of laughs, footy, and good company.

What an awesome day out today with Hayden and Alex at **Urimbirra Wildlife Park in **Victor Harbor! 🦘🌿

The place is absolutely beautiful at the moment and the kangaroo adventure is next level – they’re basically your new best friends the moment you walk in. Hayden and Alex were loving it!

You can also pat a koala, hold a snake (if you’re braver than me 😅) and see heaps of amazing Australian wildlife up close.

Best part? It’s really affordable for families and individuals, which makes it such a great day out.

If you’re looking for something fun to do around Victor Harbor, definitely come check this place out.
I’m pretty confident you won’t be disappointed! 👍

Another awesome Friday Night Social with our participants! 🎳

We kicked the night off with a game of tenpin bowling at Cross Road Bowling Centre. There was plenty of banter, laughs, and friendly competition — so much so that I completely forgot to take photos during the game!

After bowling, we headed into the CBD and Chinatown where everyone sat down together and enjoyed a great meal and some good conversation. We wrapped up the night with a quick stop at Yo-Bar for dessert, which was the perfect way to finish the evening.

Thanks to everyone who came along and made it such a fun and memorable night. I had such a great time I forgot to capture most of it — thankfully Alex came to the rescue and sent through a few photos. Legend, thanks mate!

🎳 Friday Night Socials – Chinatown Tenpin Bowling!

Tonight we are heading into Chinatown for a bit of tenpin bowling fun. Good laughs, a bit of friendly competition, and hopefully a few strikes.

If you are coming along please let me know so we can organise lanes.

Just a small reminder to bring a little bit of spending money for the activity.

Looking forward to a great night out with everyone.

Friday Night Socials is heading out and about again this week! 🎉

We’ve decided to skip the footy this time (controversial, I know 😅) and make the most of the last bit of daylight savings. The forecast looks pretty good — no rain, just a bit of wind to keep the hairstyles interesting.

We won’t be heading into the Adelaide Fringe this week (we’ve already ticked that box), and we’ve also done a few trips down to Glenelg recently.

So now we’re looking for ideas!

If you know of something fun happening around Adelaide on a Friday night that would be great for our crew to check out, drop your suggestions in the comments below.

Our team loves getting out, trying new things, and building confidence in the community — so we’re always up for an adventure!

Let us know what you’ve got for us 👇

Respite at My Mates Place isn’t just about staying in a different house — it’s about experiences, fun, and building confidence in the community.

This weekend was a great example. We kicked things off with pancakes for breakfast (participant’s choice and he even helped cook them), a bit of basketball out the back, and some remote control car racing. Then we headed out with a small group to the Adelaide Fringe.

Like many people, jumping into a big busy crowd can take a minute to warm up. But with a little time and encouragement, the smiles came out. We watched a magic show, cheered on some brave souls on the rides, grabbed some nachos from the food trucks, and shared plenty of laughs and banter along the way.

That’s what respite should be — not just time away, but real life experiences, friendships, confidence building, and positive time in the community.

Great food, good company, and a magic show… not a bad way to spend a day!
