UPDATE OF FAMILY REUNION

The school holidays are now over yet again, went by all to quickly. Today is a holiday for ANZAC day. Strange really because we celebrated that yesterday. Oh by the way Jodie HAPPY BIRTHDAY for today.
I have some more updates for those who may be following this Blog. I will send out information to those who don't.
The decision has been made to have the reunion at Whiteman Park Recreation and Conservation Reserve which is situated in the suburb of Whiteman. Many of you may have heard or have at sometime may have visited the place. I checked it out during the holidays and was very impressed with the facilities there. I have take the liberty of booking an undercovered area called the Pavillion. It looks suitable for the event. Starting time will be 10.00am to whenever. The Park has alot of extra things that would be suitable for young families, older families and those who feel they are really old. (A state of mind I would say!) Some of those activities are: train ride, tram ride, basketball and tennis facilities, a huge fenced off playground, a swimming area for younger children, a lolly shop (a must to visit) craft shop, motor and tractor museums, bush walks, bike hire and paths to ride on, wildlife park, print shop and lots more. The picnic areas are all grassed, barbecues are provided. Also there is a Cafe.
Entry to the park is free and some of the activites cost. All the activites are run by volunteer organisations so I guess the need to charge to keep there displays up to scratch. I will post maps and information out to families so everyone knows where to meet.
Foodwise, I think if we bring our own picnic lunch or barbecue items, drinks etc. that would be the best way to go.
I would like each family to do something to share with everyone else. I am thinking something like: a song, a poem, acting. (gosh this could be a real FUN day!!!!) Something that will let everyone know who we really are and how we fit into the 'Rollo Clan '. Okay that looks like all for now. If you read this blog and know family members who don't please let them know how they can check this out. When I come up with some more crazy ideas regarding the reunion I will let you know. Cheers everyone!
