We would like to invite ALL CAMBA parents to celebrate with us on the 25th July @ The Glenferrie Hotel. This will be our second Christmas in July Party, as we missed out last year. We had such a great time in 2019, so let's do it again!  This is a parents' event, so get your babysitters booked in so you can join us for some laughs, drinks and food without your little people under your feet. Plan is to keep this quite casual, so if you can make it for dinner we would love to see you, or if you can only get there for a drink then please come along when you are ready. Food and drinks are at bar prices. The kitchen will be closng at 9.30pm so if you plan to eat please arrive by 9pm.  Either way please CLICK HERE to RSVP by the 17th July so we can ensure we have enough space for everyone.  Look forward to seeing you there.
