Places are strictly limited as we book ahead to ensure a table. Join the waitlist if we're already full in case anyone drops out (we can almost always squeeze you in - please email us a few days before). Please RSVP only if you're sure you'll be able to come, and update if your circumstances change.
We'll be Upstairs at the Redfern - there is separate street entrance on George St. The venue is still registered as "Misfits" on Google Maps (it's the same place).

This is a 10km walk, which if detours and stops are not included, takes about 3 hours, and is a moderate difficulty. There will be uneven surfaces and some stairs, so please keep this in mind (but don't let it discourage you).
If you would like to skip the walk, and only want to join us in Manly for a drink afterwards, we'll be at the venue from about 2.30-3pm.
Getting there by public transport is recommended because we won't be returning to our starting point.
Getting there: Take a bus from city to Spit Bridge (e.g 172X/173X or B1+144)
Returning: Manly to Circular Quay ferry, or buses to the city.Food & Drink: 2.30/3pm at the Hotel Steyne (the menu has some GF/DF/VG/V options)
Meeting point: Meet us outside Grumpy's Wharf Café on the southern side of the bridge at 11.30am, where there should be coffee and toilet facilities available before we start. We'll depart soon after.
