Everything for a Reunion

Reunions gather people who once saw each other every day and now don't, often with partners and children in tow. Two things decide whether it works: a venue where people can move around and find each other, and a format that suits every age who turns up.
For a class or year-group reunion, a big standing room keeps everyone circulating. Merewether Surfhouse has a beachfront event level for 40 to 380, with canapé packages from $46 per person and a balcony off each room. The Courtyard @ The Lucky Hotel on Hunter Street is covered and heated, taking 200 standing. Great Northern Hotel Newcastle's Art Deco lounge suits a smaller cohort of up to 100.
Family reunions usually want lawns and space for children. Cams Wharf Tavern has a Lakeside Function Space with lawns running down to Lake Macquarie, plus accommodation on the same site for relatives coming from out of town. Lowlands Bowling Club in Cooks Hill has an undercover area with a barbecue beside Centennial Park, and guests can roll a few ends on the social green.
