It is a couple of years since we abandoned our customary January Picnic in the Park (ie. the Botanic gardens), mainly because of appalling wet weather on occasions and the increasing problem of parking in the city.

However, because some people have suggested a similar informal event would be fun, we are planning another visit to enjoy the wonderful menu at the Sutton Forest Inn in the Southern Highlands.  The date will be Saturday, 29 January,  when everyone should be home from the holidays;  the time:  12 noon.  As before food and drinks will be paid for individually to avoid all the paperwork at the end of a great gathering.

If you would like to be there, please advise our Social Secretary Jane by email on social@richardiii-new.org.au .  We shall need to know numbers by Saturday, 22 January, so please let her know as soon as possible.  Also tell her if you will be driving there (plenty of parking) or would like to go by train and be picked up at Bowral station.  Our master of public transport timetables, Kevin, will advise on times when we know who is coming.
