NSW Christmas BBQ! Centennial Park, Sat Dec 16th
Alrighty, have done some scoping today & found our spot in Centennial Park for a few drinks, snags & general car chit chat / Christmas cheer / verbal diahorrea
This is not just limited to us New South Welsh FTO folk - by all means, if our ACT folk wish to do the trek up for the day you are more than welcome, same goes for our South Coasties & Novocastrians
This is also open to non FTO owners... you know who you are! fto617, GAV etc all yourselves & your cars are welcome.
Other halves / girlfriends / boyfriends / misses' / partners / spooning buddies are all welcome & encouraged to come along.
When:Saturday 16th of December
Where: see map below
What to bring: some meat, some salad & some bread - and chairs / picnic rug / picnic table for yourselves
Other items to brings:
Plastic cutlery & crockery to eat with
Sporting equipment if you so feel! I will be bringing a cricket set, footy & frisbee
Time:
I will be there very early to mark our territory as its first in first served, so I will be in about 9:00am. Lunch obviously wont be till around midday, but if you feel like coming down early to keep me company, by all means do. Otherwise, I'd recommend being there about 11:30am. Any later than that & parking becomes tricky.
The Map:
I found the York Road gates are the easiest ones to get in & find the spot. Once you hit the main road around the park, you can only go one way & you will drive straight by our spot.
Getting to Centennial Park can be a bit tricky. Head for Bondi Junction and follow the signs. If you miss the recommended entrance, just find the next one & circle the park on the main one way road till you find us - alternatively you can call my mobile (listed below.)
Parking is available on the main road, it is also available on the small side road (Musgrave Ave) on the other side of our spot. Im thinking of parking in this side street, as there are less kids / cyclists / damaging items to cars.
I'd like to try for a big photo shoot down there as well, so if you get in early, hog as many spots as possible for the late comers
Contingency plans:
Should for some reason our spot be packed by 9am (unlikely) we will move further along the main road to a larger area (near the Glovett St gates.) If we have to do this - call my phone to find us if you cant see the cars.
If it rains - I have no contingency for this lol, however I will make that call first thing on the day. I will post here if I am calling it off, so check this site in the morning before heading in. Again, if the weather turns during the day & you are unsure of what the go is, call my mobile.
After Party
As much as i like to eat snags & drink coke, I will be looking for a beer later in the night. So after I drop the car home, I will be heading into a bar in Darling Harbour called 'Docks.' If there is a big interest in this, post it up & I can book a table there This is also most likely where I'll be if its called off due to bad weather!
So far, our NSW crew is confirmed, just keep adding to the list:

Sounds like fun Haha, after 2 years I might actually make it to one of these. Drinking in the city sounds even better afterwards. Only pubs i've been to on darling were Pier26 (turns out it was a middle aged greek hang out... 40 - 50year olds smashed off there nuts and one guy doing coke in the bathroom) and um, the Prymont Bridge Hotel, also quite sh*t but only cause it was empty by the time we got there.
Best bar in all of the city you ask? Bar Ace near Town Hall. Why? $2.80 schooners and spirits till 11pm Get in the city before 9 and for $20 you can drink yourself stupid then spend the rest of the night wandering around Kings Cross asking passers by for Hi-5's in the Borat accent and claiming that your friend is the number 4 prostitute in all of Kazahkstan.
Good times all round
