Homeschool Meet-Up

Hi Folks!

We've put our heads together and decided to take the plunge and invite you all to a Get-Together - a Homeschool Huddle, if you will.
We felt it would be great to have an opportunity for homeschoolers to get together on a regular basis, but with a low commitment threshold.  To this end, we've set a date to begin and hope to meet monthly.  This is a very open-format.  We want kids to meet other kids, mums to meet other mums, to brainstorm, share ideas and resources, make plans for homeschool outings, and just have fun.
The Hokitika Holiday Park is a great venue to start with, as it has a playground that caters to all ages, a bike track across the road (byo bike), and a large lounge with a log fire and good kitchen/dining area for a rainy day.
It is a holiday park, so it is a bring your own/tidy up after yourself/at your own risk area.  Bring your own mugs/drinks and afternoon tea to share.  There is a coffee dispenser in the office, and if you bring your own mug, it puts out a fairly acceptable coffee or hot chocolate for two dollars.  The kitchen offers hot water if you want to bring something with which to make a drink.  If it's really wet, bring a game or activity, if you have one, to engage the kids indoors.
Our plan is to open this up monthly, beginning next term.  Come if you can, as you can, with what you can - this is supposed to be easy!
Forward this to anyone interested - prospective homeschoolers are most welcome to come and explore and ask questions.

Date: Tuesday, 3 August, 2021
Venue: Hokitika Holiday Park, 11 Providence Drive
Time: 1.30pm-3.30ish
Bring: own mug and drinks (or $2), some afternoon tea, the kids!
