Mardi Gras Parade @ Sydney City
PFLAG will have a contingent in the 2008 Mardi Gras.
The Mardi Gras Parade will be on Saturday 1st March. Members and walkers will be meeting in Hyde Park near the corner of Elizabeth and William Streets from 4 pm. Walk in on the diagonal path from the corner, we meet under a huge tree, which is directly across Elizabeth Street from the Pacific Power building.

If you would like to bring some nibblies to share, that would be great. We are planning to have a dual-cab utility, so there will be limited seating for those unable to walk. Please advise us if you are unable to walk. You will be required to obtain a wrist-band from the PFLAG committee in Hyde Park prior to the Parade. We won’t know until immediately before the Parade where our utility and contingent will be assembling, so we usually walk from Hyde Park in a group to meet up with our transport.

For those wishing to march in the PFLAG contingent, the following conditions will apply:

• All potential marchers must register by email, through the website or by contacting us on the infoline (02 92941002).
• Marchers must wear a white T-shirt with dark-coloured trousers or skirt. The dress code will be strictly adhered to. If you have a PFLAG T-shirt or cap please wear them. If you have a rainbow umbrella, please bring it along.
• Marchers must purchase and wear a PFLAG badge. These can be obtained for $3 each or 2 for $5 at the PFLAG stall at Fair Day or from a committee member in Hyde Park on the day.
• For safety reasons, no alcohol can be consumed either in the marshalling area or whilst in the march. Please note, there can be no alcohol carried or stored on the ute/float. Intoxicated people will be excluded from the PFLAG contingent.
• For safety reasons, no small children or strollers will be allowed.

Fair Day 2008 @ Victoria Park,Camperdown
CHECK OUT PHOTOS FROM FAIR DAY IN OUR PHOTOS SECTION. Fair Day is on Sunday 17th February 2008 in Victoria Park, Camperdown. Fair Day is a family fun day full of entertainment, food, fashion and stalls. Lots to see, do, buy and eat! It is traditionally the Mardi Gras season’s biggest day-time event. Each year dedicated PFLAG people set up the stall early on the Sunday morning. Official starting time is 10 am, when we spend time chatting to our many visitors, giving out information, brochures and booklets, selling our rainbow umbrellas, having a good look around, generally having a fun time, and then packing up about 4 pm. Fair Day is also a major fund-raising opportunity for us. This year, we will have for sale some very superior umbrellas, as well as neck lanyards and PFLAG Badges, all in rainbow colours. Please come along, support PFLAG and have a fun day. (Check out a short video clip of last year's Fair Day in our Multimedia section, you can also see a few photos from last year's Fair Day on our photos page)
