Broom broom - here we go! Coates Hire Newcastle 500
So you’re not going to a fancy corporate marquee instead you’ve chosen to experience the Supercars Coates Hire Newcastle 500 with your children. Here are some ideas on how to do that and what may work. Of course we know nothing with kids is an exact science but this might help.
YOUR CHILDREN ARE FREE
First get your tickets here. The good people at the Supercars are giving free entry to kids 12 and under with a paying adult so they can’t complain if ours tantrum trackside right?
YOUR CAR MAY ANNOY YOU
You will have noticed even though there are lots of cars racing getting around with your car is annoying at the moment so park at a friend’s house who lives close, walk, catch public transport or get dropped off and picked up.
OTHER THINGS THAT MAY ANNOY YOU
Stollers can be a drag when it’s really busy so remember that, on the plus side you can use them to carry stuff like a picnic blanket, food and your bags, just consider what’s best for your family. Backpacks aren’t very cool but they’re super handy and I don’t really care about looking like a dag if it’s going to make things easier how about you? Also the sound may annoy you. We plan on buying earmuffs there because Mummy loves shopping and I haven’t had time to seek them out ie. you can’t buy them from Coles online.
AVOIDING PARTY ANIMALS
Hey I used to be one and I still love me some bubbles however someone who is hot and drinking too much and possibly around my cherubs, not something I want so we’re going to go in super early on Sunday to avoid those people and the crowds in general.
