					Sydney Branch
(SWAG) Esther
Door prizes to win.  NPA Xmas party followed by a walk. It's the time of the year walkers of all abilities get together.  Over the years, some of us have walked faster and harder than ever.  Some of us have slowed down.  It is an opportunity for us to catch up with old friends and make new friends.    We have been shunned by Covid restrictions in the last couple of years.  2022 has no restriction.  We will still keep a safe distance though. Bring your lunch and something to share.  Memorial Park is a 9 minutes walk from Meadowbank Station.  If you wish to walk with others, meet at the station at 11 am. Lunch starts at 11:45 but it is nice to arrive early to mingle and hold the shelters for our party. View
