Default Sydney 2009 - First FTC meet of the year

Happy New Year everyone!

Tuesday 6th January is the first Tuesday of the year so who is free to kick off another year of FTC meets?

For anyone newly arrived, FTC = First Tuesday Club. We are a crowd of mums with children ranging from toddlers to teens who get together for a coffee / gossip which usually extends over lunch. We come from a wide area covering from as far as the Northern Beaches out to the Hills District.

During the school hols we try to find somewhere where the kids will be easily entertained (beaches / parks etc) and then during term time we meet at cafes with play areas so that the pre-schoolers have something to occupy them.

We have all made some good friends so come along and meet us.

I think it's going to be hot so a beach may be a good choice - Collaroy, Little Manly - any preferences?

Look forward to seeing you all wherever we decide. . . .

We shall be away this Tuesday, but will be back for the following Tuesday if there is going to be another meet then.

Happy New Year!

We're around. I have to drop one of the kids at Mona Vale at 11 so Collaroy would be good.

Hi

Do you have to have children to come???
My husband and I have been living down the south coast for the last year and recently moved to Castle Hill so I would love to meet up with some new people.

Thanks Hayley

It's all welcome - with or without kids. There will be lots of children this time as it's school holidays but "normal" FTC meets can have quite a few or none depending on who is around.

No - you don't have to have children to come along. My kids are all in school so whilst they will be running amok this month I will be child free at the February meet.

Took me so long from start to finish of this post that I see that you have beaten me to it!

I might be able to escape from MIL for a couple of hours, so hopefully see you there (which is where? are we decided on Collaroy?).x

Let's settle on Collaroy from 11am. Shall we meet on the beach directly in front of the playground and let the kids have a splash for about an hour and then move into the park (and some shade) to picnic? If there are a few Mums / MILs why not bring them and then they can natter amongst themselves?!
