WALKING GROUP
August Walk
Appropo our last outing seven of us enjoyed a lovely day out on Friday, 15th August.
Gathering at Circular Quay we made our way to The Harbour Bridge, stopping for a coffee/cake on the way at The Rocks. It was a pleasant sunny day’s walk across the bridge and then onto Wendy Whiteley’s Garden. The outing concluded with lunch at Milsons Point. A most enjoyable day!

Ladies Luncheon Group
The first Ladies Luncheon for 2026 was held on Tuesday 27th January at Clover Café in North Rocks. Nine ladies were present. It was a leisurely and enjoyable catchup after a busy month leading up to Christmas and New Year. The food and the service were both Clover’s customary high standard. Our next luncheon will be on February 24th at Baulkham Hills Bowling Club in Jenner St, Baulkham Hills.
Cheers

Walking Group
My Next walk would be in and around Bi-Centennial Park near the Olympic Park at Homebush. For those of you who haven't been there or even those who may not have visited in some years, the changes are quite spectacular There are numerous walks, lots of tree cover and also a Cafe for refreshments. The date/s set for this would be either Friday February 20th or Friday February 27th.
I would like an indication for starters at our next meeting.
Cheers,
