Pick a Park Run Tuesday 3rd.

What a beautiful evening, just nice sitting and chatting to friendly members and watching the sun set.

Two members spent the day travelling to Sydney and back, then made the effort to attend the run, well done!! That's what I call dedicated members. Billy Goat hill, sorry Bellevue Hill, was looking lovely and

green, a very inviting and restful spot to share good company and a meal. Carmel & Laurie Trethewey.
