AROCA Childrens’ Xmas Party Studley Park Boathouse, Yarra Bend Park Sunday 5th December 10:00 am to 3:00 pm
|
 |
This is a special invitation to all AROCA Kids, to bring your siblings, parents, grandparents and other family members to enjoy a picnic and a great day out with Club members by the Studley Park Boathouse:
BBQ facilities will be reserved, but you will need to bring your own food, drink and picnic items, or you could buy a bite to eat from the boathouse kiosk.
All pre-teenage kids will receive a complimentary Xmas present from the Club
(But Kids, make sure Mum or Dad tells us how many kids of what age are coming when they register)
A visit from Santa has also been arranged – which was tough to negotiate, given that he has to take timeout from his hectic schedule back at the North Pole!
Hire a boat, kayak, or canoe from the nearby boathouse which boasts the oldest public boathouse on the Yarra River. Boat hire details are [here].
Don’t forget a picnic rug and cushions to sit on, or chairs and picnic table if you prefer.
We hope to see as many kids with their families as possible attend as we anticipate a great turnout.
This has previously been our most popular Club family event and we would like you to make it so again!
This will also possibly be one of our first physical events for quite some time, so all Club members should come along and make the most of it – a nice drive and a great day out in the Park with friends.
Please register by contacting:
