mini field of women ideas
Hi Girls, am keen to hear if anyone has run a local mini field of women? Where did you run it? Local park?? In front of shopping strip?? Any concerns? Did you have a morning tea?? Love to hear grass root experiences. We are keen to run one in Epping,nsw. And want to raise awareness to our local area.

Drawing a big fat line in the sand!
