Schedule of Events

Sunday 23rd March 2008

EVENT ONE – Cricket & Lunch
To kick off the Kiely-Schebesta Wedding Festival all guests will come together to play a game of cricket on the famous Don Bradman Oval in Bowral. This will be a sociable coming together of our family and friends, over a classic game of cricket.

Fred & Jessica have placed you into teams, which will be revealed when you arrive. Not only will we need players on the field, for the mad keen bowlers, batspeople and fielders, but each team will have cheer squads, drinks runners and scorers. And of course, plenty of time to relax, meet some new people and enjoy an Aussie BBQ lunch on us.

The Bradman Museum will also be open for a viewing at your leisure.

All equipment, food and drinks are included.

What you need to bring: Ensure you are in comfy clothes to play some cricket, or cheer on the side lines! We suggest a jumper for the evening as it can get cooler in Bowral. A picnic rug or something to sit on is also advisable.

We need you to be on time to ensure each side has its full team from the beginning.
Children welcome. There is a great park and playground just beside the oval.

Dress Code: Comfortable casual clothes.

Important Times -
10am: All Guests arrive at Sir Donald Bradman’s Oval, St Jude Street, Bowral.
10.30am: Teams announced and equipment dispersed
11am – 4pm: Game On!
1pm: BBQ lunch for all

EVENT TWO - Dinner
Re-live your class cricket moments with each other over dinner at the Bowral Hotel Restaurant (need the right name). We have arranged for this restaurant to cater for all of you, to ensure we can stick together and continue our conversations. Unfortunately we couldnt afford to cater for you for this night because of the other events of the festival, so Dinner & Drinks are at your own expense. The prices are very reasonable and they have a great menu.

Between cricket and dinner you are welcome to go back to your hotel to freshen up, or just stick around in Bowral and check out the main street or have a cheeky drink before dinner. Jessica & Fred will be sticking around Bowral.

Children welcome: The Bowral Hotel restaurant has Kids Meals. It is a pub however and so children must be supervised at all times.

Important Times –
6.30pm onwards: Guests meet at The Royal Hotel on Bong Bong Road Bowral, for dinner

Dress Code: Comfortable smart casual and even what you wore to cricket is fine!

Monday 24th March
This is your chance to enjoy a sleep in and check out all that Bowral has to offer. While the Bride & Groom start their preparations in the morning, you are free to do as you please. There is a heap of suggestions on “things to do” if you are stuck for ideas or want to book something in advance.

For any of the girls or boys who want to spruce themselves up before the big event we suggest you book in at a local hairdresser or beautician, well in advance.

EVENT THREE - The Wedding Ceremony
Our Wedding Ceremony will begin at 3pm at Milton Park on Horders Road. It is a black tie (Top hats and tails!) affair so dress up!

In between the Ceremony & Reception, you will not be standing around with nothing to do! You will all enjoy a fun game of Jess&Fred Trivia in one of the rooms at Milton Park. So brush up on all of your Jess&Fred knowledge to help your team win some great prizes.

Then let the party begin when pre-dinner drinks are served at 6pm and the Bridal Party arrives to join you at 7pm.

All events will be at Milton Park so for those not staying there either have a designated driver or organise a taxi with http://www.taxicoach.com.au/taxi.htm Ph: (02) 4872 4800
