A nice ride to get here Quindanning Inne, heaps of bike parking also

9th Dec is good for me at this stage. Sorry Winston a weekend at this time of the year would be difficult to fit in (for me at least). Maybe we should organise a weekend well ahead (like next year) when it will be a little cooler.

How about Whiteman Park bar-b-que ?

We could book one of the small pavilions.

. There is plenty of entertainment for the family.

West Aussie Glen · « **Reply #7 on:** November 16, 2012, 10:56:26 AM »

Lets confirm a date and then pick something central to all who can attend

I could make my place available, only have to get sanction from minister for social events

Brock · « **Reply #11 on:** November 16, 2012, 10:12:29 PM »

Thats a good proposition Yorkie. As the day is a Sunday, we (I) dont want to be going to far afield.

Dab55 · « **Reply #12 on:** November 25, 2012, 07:54:13 PM »

People,

As we discovered at this mornings coffee gathering, Yorkies place is not available for our Xmas do.

May I suggest Avondale Farm near Beverley as a possible alternative.

http://www.beverleywa.com/avondale/

From their web site;

"The picnic area is a great spot for individual families, school groups, family reunions, social groups and casual visitors to stop awhile. An adventure playground is available for the children. An ablution block and free gas BBQ's are available all year, for public use. For added convenience there is water, power and lights in the picnic area."

"Avondale Discovery Farm is now under the management of The National Trust of Australia (WA Branch). While planning, assessments, and conservation are being considered for Avondale, the property is open on selected days, by appointment or at special events. If you have an enquiry regarding a visit to Avondale please phone us and leave a message. We will return your call."

I have been there with other club groups and entry is usuall by gold coin donation .

If you think this venue is a suitable I can give them a ring and check the availability for the 9th December.

Here is a link to Gwambygine Park if interested.

West Aussie Glen · « **Reply #14 on:** November 27, 2012, 08:34:01 PM »

Some where in the order of a 1 to 2 hour ride would be nice but if closer to 2 hrs then need a plan "B" in case it is a 40 degree day, then maybe make it breakfast.

Silky · « **Reply #15 on:** November 27, 2012, 09:04:09 PM »

Avondale Farm near Beverly would be OK by me so long as it be for lunch as I would be coming from Collie via Narrogin , Pingelly , Brookton

West Aussie Glen · « **Reply #16 on:** November 30, 2012, 10:00:38 AM »

When is the Avondale Farm open? From the website it is not clear to me.

The 9th is just over a week away, who is coming?

Edit :- just reread Douglas's post again so we need to make a decision and find out if Avondale Farm can be opened.
I am happy with either Avaondale Farm or Gwambygine Park.

Dab55 · « **Reply #17 on:** November 30, 2012, 02:40:00 PM »

People,

Looks like it is GwamBigine Park.

I contacted the caretaker at Avondale and unfortunately she is going to be in Perth that weekend and can not find any other volunteers to open up for us. She apologised and stated that she hoped we would attend Avondale on another occasion.

I can take my trailer on the day to carry the food, drink and small table. If we get so e idea of numbers attending we can split the purchase list for the day and work out who is bringing what.

BigTed · « **Reply #18 on:** November 30, 2012, 02:50:02 PM »

Unfortunately I'm going to dip out on this one

My wife's surgery has been pushed back a week so she'll only have just come out of hospital; and my son will have just lost his driving privilages for loss of demerits on P plates.

So I'm chief cook and bottle washer for the next few weeks.... plus I don't want to cash in any brownie points for the Adelaide run next year.

Enjoy the day.

Yorkie,

I just had a good look at the link you posted and noticed that there is contact form and phone number for Gwabygine Park.

Do we need to make a booking?

Yorkie · « **Reply #20 on:** November 30, 2012, 09:05:14 PM »

No booking required, it is maintained by Shire of York, there are plenty of gas BBQ's and tables with shelter and toilets on approx 5 acres.
If I have finished moving my daughter into her new house I will be there, If not I would like to wish all and sundry a very merry Xmas and a great new year.

Brock · « **Reply #21 on:** November 30, 2012, 09:27:19 PM »

OK,

That looks like it then.

Gwambygine Park York on Sunday 09 Dec 12, about 1100 for XMAS BBQ ( any one who says happy holiday, will be tied down and drawn apart by the assembled bikes)

I am happy if we just do a BYO everything. If there are tables, shelter and BBQ's we shouldn't need anything except our own food and drinks.
