MGOC Annual Picnic

Tilden Park, Berkeley

Saturday, August 30 

We will picnic at the Island Picnic Area at Tilden Park in Berkeley again this year. Expect a great day and great fun. If you attended the picnic in 2006, this is the same site. It provides excellent parking along the main road of the park and offers lots of spectator traffic. The Club will provide charcoal for barbequing and members should bring their favorite food and drink. Arrive around noon and leave when the food is gone and the charcoal is cold. Some people like to show up early and get a good parking spot!
