Aussie Hero Quilts Annual Thank You Weekend - A tour of the Australian Defence Force Academy.

Hi all,

With one month to go until our Annual Thank You Weekend I hope you have all bought your tickets. 

If you have not booked to join in for the ADFA Tour on Friday afternoon you might want to think about it. We have toured ADFA on previous years but this year's tour will be more indepth. 

The tour will commence at 1300 (1pm) and will be a walking tour during which you will cover around 700m.  Comfortable shoes are a must.  Areas visited will include living-in accommodation, an over water obstacle course display, perhaps some form of Battle Physical Training and a drill display on the parade ground. The program may change depending on operational commitments.

To my knowledge, most of these areas have not been covered on previous AHQ Tours, nor has there been as much interaction with students. 

You need to book in if you wish to join in: the tour is free but we need you to register via Trybooking for numbers.

Tickets are available via trybooking

Till next time... keep spreading the word and happy stitching...and don't forget to book your tickets for our weekend!
