RSVP and cancellation policy
If you RSVP and then can’t attend an event, a minimum of 48 hours notice is required to cancel and remove yourself from the confirmed list. Once cancelling within 48 hours of the event, notification via a message and a legitimate reason is required (please note that weather forecast/rain is not considered an acceptable reason), otherwise this will result in a first warning and then if it happens a second time, it will result in your removal from the group.
The reasoning for this is that every event members on the waitlist would miss out on attending at the expense of others, so this is to make attendees accountable for their RSVPs and to be considerate of others wishing to join on the waitlist.
Thanks for your understanding.

Optus Trail ☎️ 🚶‍♂️ 🏖 Followed by optional lunch 🥙 & outdoor games

Sun, Jun 14 · 10:00 AM AEST

South Golden Beach Hall, Pacific Esplanade, South Golden Beach, NS, AU

Hey everybody,

Let's walk the Optus trail - Where the forest meets the sea!

The walk will be along a hidden back trail through the forest behind suburbia, starting in North Ocean Shores. We are going to do this as a loop circuit, so the first 15 minutes or so we will be strolling through the backstreets of South Golden until we reach the trailhead.
From there, the walk through the forest will take about an hour and will come out on the beach, where we have a pitstop. The ocean water is still warm, so those who are keen can feel free to go for a swim, so bring your swimmers! Check the forecast as it drawers near.

We will then loop back along the beach to our start point to finish the walk at approx 12-1pm, where there is the option to stay and hang out, having lunch in the park.

We will also have some outdoor games to play after lunch for those who are keen for a spot of tennis and/or basketball. Feel free to bring your own outdoor games such as frisbee, outdoor bowling, cricket, etc.

Total walk distance is approximately 7km.

This walk is fairly easy (Grade 2) so it might be a nice one to bring a friend who maybe would not go some of our more challenging hikes.

IMPORTANT INFO:

Event restricted to 25 people.
One plus 1 per person welcome, please indicate on your RSVP.
If you RSVP then can't attend, please give a minimum of 24 hours notice so others don't miss out: No shows are not appreciated.
Please bring lunch, snacks and enough water as there will not be any chance to buy any once we leave.
This is classified as a "Grade 2" walk: Fairly flat and quite easy.
Donations are appreciated to help cover the cost of Meetup fees.

Hope to hang out with you then :)
