These are some of the views in WBro Jack and Sis Elvie's holiday house in the Central Coast. According to WBro Jack, the house is a three-bedroom house with a yard that can accomodate from five to seven tents. So make sure you bring your linens, tents (if you prefer), boat and fishing gear, golf and other sports' gears.
Larger groups can be accomodated at Monterey Tourist Park, which is a couple of streets away from their home.
This outing is in conjunction with our March monthly meeting. As stated previously by WBro Jack, everyone is welcome to come as early as Good Friday, 21 March and extend till Monday, 24 March.
According to WBro Jack's handouts (which he handed out at the Ladies Night):
"Mannering Park is located on the southern shores of Lake Macquarie and in the northern region of the Central Coast. This area offers activities and interests for everyone of all ages.
Lake Macquarie is the gateway to the subtropical rainforests of the Watagan Mountains and the Hunter Valley Vineyards in the West, Newcastle in the North and beautiful unspoilt beaches in the East.
The lake itself is the largest coastal saltwater lake in the Southern Hemisphere, covering 109 square kilometres (4 times the size of Sydney Harbour). It is 24 km long, 3.2 km across at its widest point and 9.7 km at its deepest. The Lake is calm enough for fishing, boating or any variety of watersports. The Watagan Mountains provide the perfect backdrop for adventurous hikes, picnicking, camping or horse riding."
Parks and gardens in the area include the "lovely Vales Point Reserve, offering an ideal setting for a family day out. Featuring picnic tables, electric BBQ's, seating swimming facilities, boat ramp and toilets. You can relax and unwind in a tranquil setting in one of Lake Macquarie's most beautiful suburbs."
Social Director, WBro Jack suggested activities before and after the meeting are fishing, beach, boating, wine tasting, RSL clubbing, shopping; and of course fellowship!

Bro Mario,
I can help clearing the misconception re the pictures has created.
They are not the view in my backyard but at the park 500 meters away. Sorry to dissappoint you.
Regards,
Bro Jack
Not dissapointed bro, but it is still close!

Bro. Fidel
Please extend our apologies as we will be attending to our religious duties during this time of Lent.
Happy Easter To All and have a safe travel on your way and back.
Bro. Abe & Sis Tessie
Good morning to all. We will, most regrettably, be unavailable for the March monthly meeting and must give our apologies to all. We will surely miss the hospitality of the Sta. Marias and the fellowship that will be shared by those lucky enough to be there. We pray that everyone be safe, particularly throughout the Easter period.
Bro Louie & Sis Marilyn
Sorry we can't make it. We have a family outing (whole clan) too on those days. We leave on Saturday for Port Stephens and back on the Easter Monday.
Regards to all.
Sis Elsa
Brethren,
As it had been in the past years when we had a more regular and well-attended Easter Outings, I will still give a miss to this upcoming as we have to give priority to our Lenten obligations.
Once again, I regret missing the company of the brethren. May you have a great time, nonetheless. And God bless you all.
Fraternally,
Dan (& Amy)
