Not all trips are listed here: many are decided on impromptu on our mailing lists. The mailing lists are also the best way to find out the latest information on walks and other events. Some recurring events are listed at the bottom of this page. New trip leaders are very welcome. If you would like to lead a trip, contact the walks secretary. |
Many walks fill up quickly! Please let the trip leader know as soon as possible that you are interested, and tell them a little about yourself - your walking experience and fitness level, what gear you will need to borrow, where you live and whether you have access to a car. Leaders have the right to refuse to take walkers if they lack the necessary fitness or experience. Important Notice: Please read our rescue information. |

| 340 | Sunday 27th July 2008 | Sutherland to Surf 2008 https://www.wandasurfclub.com/Home/tabid/107/Default.aspx This major community participatory event is a great day for the serious and the not so serious athlete. Recognised as the lead up race for the City to Surf, it attracts more than 5,000 runners and walkers to travel the 11km from the Sutherland Entertainment Centre to Wanda Beach. All proceeds of the event go to help support Wanda's proud volunteer lifesaving efforts. Online Entry Fees Adult: $33.00 Child: $18.00 Senior: $18.00 Team: $12.00 (In addition to individual entry fee) See the above website for more information, and if there are people from SUBW who intend on participating, we could all meet up at the start of the race and at the end for a feed on the beach! ** note this day clashes with another event- National Tree Day. There are various tree planting sites around the Sutherland Shire (and all over the country) that are set up for volunteers throughout the day, and so to make it a full-on day trip those keen and full of energy can join me for some planting afterwards. | Julie Melrose 0405683450 |

Regular Events
Slide Nights: The last Wednesday of each month during
semester is a slide night, 7pm in the Holme building.
Most walkers gather at 6pm in the Forest Lodge Hotel (the "Flodge" - Arundel Street Glebe) for a cheap feed beforehand.
Slide nights are an ideal place to meet people, tell stories (true or not), hear other peoples' stories, look at slides and photos, and hear about various trips.
Meat raffle: Each Thursday the Club holds a meat raffle at the Forest Lodge Hotel, with all profits going straight into the Club coffers.
So far as meat raffles go it's actually a really good deal - twenty meat trays a week, $2 a ticket.
Things kick off at about 6.30pm, going through to about 8, after which some people head on over to the climbing gym.
Indoor Rock Climbing: Contact Dave Noble (9560 5973) to climb at the Sydney Indoor Climbing Gym at St Peters on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.
Critical Mass Bike Rides: Last Friday of every month - meet
at the fountain, Hyde Park North, 5:30 pm.

5973) or Dave Oslington (9518 0631)
