Ann is Our Queen of Social Activities
At our recent Christmas breakfast Ann R was the recipient of the prestigious Brian Cook Award for continued and significant contribution to our club.
Part of the fun and fabric of Y Striders is not just the shared belief in the benefits of health and exercise, but equally important are our social activities. Which is why we have been fortunate that Ann’s enthusiasm and organising has seen us going to movie and theatre nights, twilight and bush walks, paddle boarding, mini golf, bike rides and shared New Year’s Eves.
Ann’s back ground in musical entertainment has given us hilarious and memorable amateur performances at our annual club dinners. Coached by Ann, our member volunteers have given playful renditions of “Always the Bridesmaid, Never the Bride”, “If I Weren’t a Y Strider, a Snooker Player I Would Be”, “The Pheasant Pluckers”, “The Flight Attendant Fiasco” (sung to the tune of The Flower Duet from Lakme), and “Goodness, Gracious Me”.
Over the last 15 years since joining and volunteering for the position of social co-ordinator, Ann has provided members with a variety of activities that range from the cultured, the hilarious, the energetic and the delightful. We have been truly fortunate that Ann R, like many of our other volunteer committee members, has made Y Striders the unique club that it is.

Our 2025 Christmas at Y Striders

It’s our last session of the year and that means:-
Over sixty Y Striders came for Zumba warm ups with trainer Deb
Lots of laughter and socialising over our shared breakfast
Drawing a winner of club Captain Ken’s Christmas challenge, (congratulations Kaye and John)
But most importantly, the presentation of the Brian Cook Award for the most significant contribution to the club over this year – and many others. Ann R, our social co-ordinator over the last 15 years was a worthy and popular choice, as her efforts have been a key part of our clubs’ ongoing success.
Although our trainer led sessions take a break until Saturday 3 January in the New Year, there will be many keen Y Striders gathering informally for friendly walks and coffee in the break I’m sure .

Feliz Navidad. Joyeux Noël. Merry Christmas to all.

Fancy a swim in Loch Lomond?
Perhaps a hike up mountains or cycling in Austria? Maybe an Uzbekistan tour or steps in Croatia or Italy is on your bucket list.
All these adventures and more have recently filled the itineraries of some of our intrepid Y Striders, who’ve swapped exercising on the local footpaths for the wonders of the world.
Martin took a dip in Scotland in his wetsuit,..Brrr! Then joined nine others on a bike/barge tour in Germany and a further hike in Switzerland. Sarah travelled Uzbekistan. Kerry climbed near the Matterhorn, Deb and Vanessa separately went to Croatia and Deb on to Italy
So many adventures, but one thing in common – keeping fit to enjoy it all.
You don’t need to be going overseas to have a fitness goal – keeping active to enjoy life at home is reason enough to join Y Striders and get moving. Find out more at https://ystriders.org.au and sign up for our 4 week FREE trial.

Up Hill and Down Dale
Adelaide is not just a city of churches, it’s very hilly. With a reputation as ideal wine country as well. Ten Y Striders joined our guide Jay on a 3-day hike through the Clare Valley Wine and Wilderness region recently. Each day we walked 10km through hilly and rocky terrain, but we were rewarded with magnificent views, lovely wine tastings, gourmet meals, and luxury accommodation at the heritage listed Bungaree Station.
Visiting many historical sites around Adelaide in the week after gave an insight into the history and hardships of early German Lutheran settlers. Later, some headed on to Kangaroo Island, some onto Sydney and south of Adelaide to visit family and others returned home.
At the same time, another group of Y Striders travelled to Europe to complete a bike/barge tour, cycling along the Rhine during the day, followed by luxury accommodation and meals on the barge. On completion of the tour, some continued to do walking tours through Italy and one on to Uzbekistan.
Tackling little adventures like this is why many Y Striders regularly attend multiple sessions. They train to keep fit.
Are you searching for a way to boost your fitness? Why not take the first step and join Y Striders? Don’t wait for the perfect moment because the best time to begin, is now.

We love to go a wandering ……..
We love fitness, we enjoy socialising, we like adventures, so a big motivation to keep fit for many Y Striders is to enjoy travel. This year we have seen couples and groups heading off overseas to Vietnam, China, Iceland, Canada, Spain, Portugal, Japan, India, England, Canada, Scotland, Paris and in Australia to Busselton, Albany, Sydney, The North West, country New South Wales and Tasmania. In the coming year many have plans and bookings for a bike barge trip on the Danube with various after trips in Europe and UK, our club annual long weekend down south and 40 already down to repeat the Bondi to Manly 80Kms/7 day walk in Sydney.
All this activity and adventure separate to our Y Striders walking club requires a good level of fitness to enjoy the trips, but also life at home with friends and family. That’s why so many turn up to our various trainer lead warm-ups before walking, running or strength sessions. Of course, this accompanies the equally important social aspect of coffee after and the forming of various friendship groups that play mahjong, bike ride, swim or go to shows. There seems to be something for everyone to get involved in when you meet like-minded people through Y Striders. If you are looking for some motivation and friendship though shared activity check our website and 4 week free trial at https://ystriders.org.au/membership/4-week-free-trial/

And the winner is……

Y Striders gathered and warmed up with trainers at Quarantine Park on Sunday for our annual Anne Rinaldi Memorial walk/run from Bicton along the river towards Fremantle. Many of the runners including Eva, Kaye, Bill, Terry and Jenny K did the whole 12kms. Others were happy with walking a shorter distance – with a stop at Cool Beans for a reviving coffee :-)
Sharing and socialising is such a big part of Y Striders and Ros generously offered to again host the post walk brunch, tea and coffee. Volunteers supplied an abundance of yummy food choices so we were all happily chatting and eating when it was time for president Jennie T to present the Anne Rinaldi award.
Our four trainers discuss and choose the person they feel has worked to achieve their own personal best throughout the year. Their choice this year was Jenny K, one of our founding members, who set a goal for herself to build up to running again after a break devoting more time to her work. She inspires others to set their own targets and work steadily towards their goal. Congratulations Jenny K!

We celebrated the club's 28th birthday today with a lovely lunch at Sittella Winery. Our destination was a mystery which we found by following Graeme's car rally instructions which proved to be quite challenging.
The winners of the car rally were Joanne, Mark and Leonie. Second place went to Kevin, Pam and Ros and third place was Sandie, James, Bronwen and Louie.
Ken also announced the winner of the June Monthly challenge - Fran.
Everyone agreed this was another great event and thanks needs to go to Ann, Elizabeth and Graeme for organising the day.
