  Bear Swap & Sell

  Do you have a ton of old clothes that don't fit any more? Want to share your fabulous fashions with your bear kindred?

  On Sunday 17 May Harbour City Bears is hosting an apparel swap and sell at the Inner West Pride centre in Newtown! Donate your good old apparel, and you'll be able to pick up an equal number of items from the selection donated by others! If you don’t have any to donate, you can still purchase on the day. 

  This time, we're also releasing a limited number of tables to members- so if you have items you want to sell, you can grab a table ticket and host your own stall!

  How it works 

  Donations

  If you want to donate items: Bring your clean, good-condition clothes and accessories to us before the event. Come along on the day and have your pick of

  No clothes to donate? No problem! You can still come browse and purchase items at very affordable prices.

  Leftovers go to a good cause: Anything that doesn't find a new home will be donated to local charities. 

  You can drop off your items before the event.

  • Bring items to the committee any Sunday at the Townie
  • Prefer another time? Just reach out to arrange it!

  Everything will be sorted by size and ready for browsing on the big day.

  Personal Stalls

  If you want to have a stall of your own, grab a "Stall" ticket from this event. That will entitle you to one 2m x 1m table in the hall. You can bring whatever you want to sell. These stalls are for members to sell personal items. If you're running a business, get a "Business Stall" instead. Note that you must take everything away with you afterwards, nothing can be left behind!

  Business Stalls

  We’re also working on having some of our Bear community partners host stalls at the event. They'll have some stalls to sell new merchandise as well!

  Our dungeonmaster Richard often runs a beginners' Dungeons & Dragons campaign, so if you're new to D&D, come along and we'll teach you how to play.

  The pool tables at the Townie are also open for use, so if you're a learner or a shark, you can have a friendly game with your beary mates!

  Best of all, the day leads straight into our Sunday Social, so hang around afterwards to socialise with the bears!

  Harbour City Bears' Woof in the Woods is back for winter!

  Our winter camping event is back! We’ve booked out Barrington River Lodge for an extra long weekend, Thursday 13 August to Sunday 16 August.

  
  

  What's On

  The days are free for you to relax and explore the local area.

  Thursday night we've got a BBQ and camp movie night, with BBQ dinner supplied, and a camp movie classic, follow by drinks and chats around the fire.

  Friday night it's pizza night! The lodge has recently installed a pizza oven, so bring along all your goodies to make your own pizzas! After you've made your dinner, we will have bear beats for us to enjoy, as well as other Friday night activities that our previous attendees know and love- there's a dancefloor, a play area, and bears ready to go!

  Saturday night make your own dinner in the shared kitchen or BBQ, or head into town to one of the local pubs. After dinner, relax with a drink around the campfire, play some games, do some stargazing, or find out exactly what it is that bears do in the woods at night.

  
  

  Accommodation Options

  The venue has lots of indoor sleeping space and heating. There’s lots of options to suit every budget.

  The Retreat

  The most luxurious accommodation is The Retreat, a private cabin separate from the rest of the lodge, with a fully furnished queen bedroom, bathroom, lounge room and full kitchen, as well as a verandah with its own BBQ.

  
  

  
  

  The “Family” Cabin

  There’s also another cabin available, with two bedrooms. You can book out the master bedroom with its queen bed or take the bunk beds and trundle bed in the second bedroom. The cabin also has its own bathroom, full kitchen and verandah.

  
  

  The Lodge

  The main building is “The Lodge”. It has lots of rooms in a variety of configurations, as well as a large lounge room and full kitchen. The rooms available as whole rooms or as beds in shared rooms. Bunks, queens, trundles, and whole rooms are available. The beds in the lodge don’t come with bedding, so you’ll have to bring your own sleeping bag or blankets.

  

  Camping

  If you’re a hard-core camper, there’s plenty of space to camp on the site as well. Be aware though the site is a little bit smaller than previous camps, so you won’t be able to range quite as far away from the main group.
