=== Meetings ===

Local '''meetings''' are usually held informally once or more times a week in presence of guests of the local members. Typical activities include meeting in the central squares to drink '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spritz spritz]''', the local cocktail and talk, '''pizza''' meetings or '''dinners''' at hosts' houses. Other CS/HC events include tours of the nearby cities with lunch/pic nics or attending at big and not big events in the Veneto area (such as for ''White nights'', free concerts and exhibitions). 

Ask to your host to keep you updated about local meetings through the local Yahoo! Group [http://groups.yahoo.com/groups/hcsveneto] or joining the local CS groups ([http://www.couchsurfing.com/group.html?gid=228 Veneto], [http://www.couchsurfing.com/group.html?gid=1470 Padova]). You can also check the '''[http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=9o0tb8rrbkkfrkab6i0p90uphg%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=Europe/Rome CS Veneto Google Calendar]''': the local community keeps it updated with all the upcoming events!
Also, it might be a good idea to contact one or two active members through CS to know if there is anything going on.

An almost '''regular meeting''' has been established on every '''Thursday''' at 19:30. The location varies from time to time, but it's always set in the center of Padova. Currently the meeting point is set at the fountain in [http://maps.google.it/maps?q=piazza+delle+erbe+padova&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&ie=UTF8&gl=it&ei=t7bFSvrBBM-vsAa7-93wDg&hq=&hnear=Piazza+delle+Erbe,+35122+Padova,+Veneto&z=16 Piazza delle Erbe].
