Mother's Day Walk or Ride

This Saturday 14 May | 1.30pm - 3pm

We would like to invite Friends’ students to bring along their mum, guardian, grandmother, aunty or special family friend for a coffee or ice-cream to catch up to celebrate and thank the special people in their lives this weekend at Cornelian Bay. We invite you to bring your bikes, scooters or skates and meet at the Cenotaph, at the start of the bike track where we will begin our 15min ride (40min walk) to Cornelian Bay. At Cornelian Bay we will be set-up and ready to give out coffee & ice-cream vouchers which you can redeem at the Cornelian Bay Boat House Kiosk.

Although this is a free event we ask that you RSVP here for catering purposes.

We are keeping a close eye on the weather forecast and we will notify those people who have booked, by 12noon Friday, if the event will be cancelled.
