NPA Annual Xmas party at Crosslands Reserve |

|
Southern Sydney Branch |
| Brian E. |
 I have led walks for 42 years. Gee, I miss friends who have either moved on or ceased walking. I am sure other experienced leaders would feel the same. How about we have a Xmas party so that we can catch up with past, present and future friends? Gather at Crosslands Reserve for a wonderful time.
Don't worry about your waistline. A few leaders would put on walks of various lengths and difficulties before and after the feast. Examples are as below:
1. Walk from Cowan to Crosslands Reserve
2. Walk from Mt. Kuring-gai Station
3. Walk from Crosslands Reserve to Berowra Station
4. Walk from Crosslands Reserve to Mt. Kuring-gai Station
5. Pack Walk from Hornsby and camp at Crosslands
6. Car camp at Crosslands
Or you can simply drive to the Reserve. The picnic is self-catered. Bring a plate to share. You can choose to make a note donation instead of bringing a plate. You can do both as money raised will go to NPA. Please mention if you will be bringing a plate as we don't want to end up with just Money but no food.
