Sydney Ladies FTC - January meet - Mon 7th
Hi all
Hope you are all had a great Christmas and are ready for a late night to see in the New Year!
Just wanted to remind you that we decided not to get together on the first Tuesday of the month (as some may be nursing sore heads!) Instead, we are planning to arrange something for Monday 7th January.
Easy holiday venues are The Flying Fox Park at Mona Vale and the beachside reserve at Clontarf but if anyone has any other suggestions please post here. . . . .
See you all soon.

OH leaves for his new job in SA that day so time of meet & time of flight out of Sydney will determine if we can come.
Have a great few days camping Bindy. (does that involve high heels??)

We'll be there. Clontarf beach might be better for the older kids (I'm guessing there will be quite a few around) but Mona Vale is closer to home so I don't really mind either way

Hi there, I'm around too.
I vote for Clontarf!
I love the flying Fox, but I can't leave my little one in the park alone, (whilst I'm in cafe), so I end up sitting in the park alone.... not much fun...
But might be the better option if the weathers not great though. But fingers crossed.
Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and New Year.

Re: Sydney Ladies FTC - January meet - Mon 7th
Yes clarification on where exactly would be good for me as I cannot find "Clontarf Beach" in my map book.
An address would be better & maybe even some hints on where to park.
Still not 100% sure yet if we can come but am hoping so.
p.s. Wilgar are you talking about taking a picnic to Clontarf OR is that some other day being organised??

Re: Sydney Ladies FTC - January meet - Mon 7th
I haven't been either but have heard good things about Clontarf. Putting "Clontarf Reserve" into my Navman directs me to Clontarf Park on Holmes Avenue but "Clontarf Beach" sends me to Harbour Street which is just to the South so yes, it would help if we knew exactly where we were meeting 
I'm guessing the park would be the best place to start; according to Manly council's website there is a large play area with equipment for 0-12 year olds and seawater swimming at the reserve so it should cater to all age groups.
A picnic sounds good Wilgar as otherwise feeding hoards of kids gets rather expensive!

My daughter went to Clontarf Reserve last week for a birthday party, it was in Seaforth, not sure of the name of the road though, it looked like a good place for children of all ages. There is water to play in, swings, picnic areas (and more that I did not see). There is parking on site. I am happy to take a picnic, I will have two hungry children with me.
Looking forwards to seeing you all on Monday, what time?

If you can park on the streets around the reserve you will save yourself a fortune!! The parking is very expensive there, but you can park just around the corner for nothing.

Re: Sydney Ladies FTC - January meet - Mon 7th
Hey guys, I'm back! Had a great time camping and ready now to organise you all!
Parking at Clontarf Reserve is off Sandy Bay Road but as others have mentioned, there is free street parking for those who want. So, let's aim for this venue but maybe fall back on the flying fox if the day is not looking "beachy". Perhaps we should all check in on this thread before we leave on Monday morning. . .
There is a cafe there for anyone who wants coffees etc but I would recommend bringing a picnic.
We usually meet from 10.30am so see you there. All welcome. Any newly arrived people who want to come along but are unsure of how to spot us - pm me and I'll let you have my mobile number.
