Friday 19th - Sunday 21st October 2012
City Lickers invites you to escape for a women’s only weekend at gorgeous Peregian Beach on the Sunshine Coast. Peregian Beach is a quiet little beach town with a relaxed coastal lifestyle about 13 km south of Noosa but from October 19-21 it will once again come to life as the host of the Big Lesbian Beach Escape. This three day weekend has been planned for all lesbians, of all ages and of all styles; this weekend has been planned for you.
The main hub of our beach escape will be gay managed Horizons at Peregian; Horizons has the perfect beachside location and a fantastic pool area for us to enjoy with heated saltwater pool, spa, BBQ and entertainment area.
On Friday night we will kick start the weekend with a BYO Pool Party at Hideaways Resort; there’s no need to dress up, this weekend is more about laughter, lesbians & lifestyle and there’s a good chance you’ll decide to be in the pool by the end of the night. There is a beautiful pool for your enjoyment and a jukebox with microphone for our ‘would be‘ stars. Hot savouries will be provided as well as two Frozen Cocktail Machines for only $2 per drink.
Take the weekend off from driving too, our courtesy buses will be on hand to take you to and from Friday night's Pool Party.
On Saturday morning you can sleep in or better still come down to the beach where you can join our health conscious for a refreshing session of Yoga, learn to surf in our Surf Sessions or simply take in the sun, the sand and the surf.
For singles, we have a singles only brunch planned for you at the stylish Peregian Beach Hotel so that you have the opportunity to meet new friends and other singles to share the weekend with.
At lunch we’ll move to the park for a fully catered barbecue; a great chance for our local and out of town women to get to know each other. Make sure you bring your swimmers and towel and have a crack at our super slip 'n' slides, jelly wrestling and giant twister.
In the afternoon get ready for our social Beach Volleyball Competition. Enter your own team of 8 women, or let us place you in a team, and get set to compete for the coveted City Lickers’ Trophy Cup. Take on the winners of last year - Team Jeff - who are sure to be back to defend the title. Both the beach and the park are directly across the road from Horizons.
Saturday night the fun continues at the Peregian Beach Surf Lifesaving Club with our Toga Party Dance Party. Lesbian songstress Kristie Schoots will be performing for us before our dance party begins with the awesome energy of DJ Stray and DJ Arsee. Cheap drinks, finger food, great music and a venue full of women will only add to the highlights of this fantastic night.
Sunday is our recovery day with no set activities - sleep in, relax by the pool, enjoy a day on the beach or visit the friendly township - but don’t rush home, after all how often do you get to escape with this many women!

Who Will Entertain Us?
DJ Stray
Bringing an energy and presence to the stage like no other, DJ Stray fills dance floors and keeps them jumping all night long. Stray believes the most important aspect in a good set is the ability to take the listener into a different dimension. Music is to be used as a way to escape the everyday world, and to allow it to take your mind off of the daily aspects of life.
See you all on the dance floor!
DJ Arsee
"arsee" discovered her passion for music at a very young age.
Growing up in Adelaide, around her parents eclectic vinyl collection, she soon became fascinated with music.
But it wasn't until arsee was living in the UK did the dream come too life, living with a local dj where she quickly acquired her skills.
Later moving too Brisbane, arsee dove head first into the Brisbane music scene and surrounded herself with new and exciting music that the city had too offer.
Since then, arsee hasn't looked back and still stays true too her "old school" roots playing an energetic mix of many different styles always with a banging funky bassline.
Once you hear these beats, you will have no option but to get your funk on!
You really don’t want too miss this DJ!
Kristie Schoots
Kristie is a singer songwriter who originates from the Northern Beaches of Sydney. Beginning her musical studies at 12 kristies main focus was always her guitar until she gained the confidence to let her voice be heard...And so out of the depths of shyness has risen an enigmatic soulful voice which seems to carry the weight of the world on shoulders held high. After entering into a songwriting competition in late 2006, and making it through to the finals Kristie embraced her new title of singer/songwriter with both hands and at the age of 23 shifted her sights to Queensland. Now living in Brisbane Kristie herself has begun to shine brighter than ever pursuing the exciting, ever changing, always trying life of a full time musician. Now Kristie is finally doing what she was destined to do from word go...But as they say better late than never!

Your Say
hi Monique
wanna thank you for organising such a great weekend at Peregian - you're a marvel!
first time visitor and I was so impressed with all the preparation, info, venue and park, welcome and the things organised for the Sat. good food and lots of it, great fun with the wet & wild sssccccccccchhhhhllllllliiiiiiiiiiiidddddddde and volleyball - the age/ people mix was fun.
the dance was a blast - esp the Super group.
yes, it's your business but you're so professional and ethical and friendly. Thanks Nicole too, for being so supportive and pro-active for the SEQ lesbian community.
hope you get a good rest!
Susie
Hi Monique, just writing to say a big thankyou for hosting such a great weekend. I had an absolute ball, and have finally made some lesbian friends (yey!). I hope that you realise the impact that your social events can have on people. I found it pretty hard coming out, and would never have had the courage to actively seek the company of other lesbians at generic gay venues. You have opened up doors for me when I've felt like I was doomed to struggle down a dark and lonely corridor. Sorry to be so touchy-feely, but I truly am very grateful...
X Becky
Hi Monique, Nicole and City Lickers,
Thank you for a fantastic weekend. Our group of about 12 girls had a ball. Enjoyed everything, just wish it was longer. Enjoyed meeting new people and hanging out with the people I love, so thank you City Lickers great weekend.
Kirsten
Hey Nic and Mon I just wanted to let you know that we had an absolutley awesome weekend. My body certainly has advised me that I am alive still. My torso muscles are slightly sore from the physical excertions of the giant slip and slide but... oh what a hoot!!!! The dance party went off and I have to say thank you for providing a venue that such a diverse group of women could meet. It is always wonderful to see other people, that I would normally not socialise with, in the same room and to experience their culture and fun. Every year my expeience grows just that bit more!!!! I can't wait for next year and look forward to comparing my sunburn with you.
Lorna

Hey There Team Forrest - just wanted to say thanks for a great weekend and for booking the LSG for the party. We had a great time and great show and hope you and all the ladies at the gig enjoyed our performance as much as we enjoyed performing. You do a great job
Ruth Gardner
Hi Monique, have posted the pics on my site, grab what you need. You and Nick looked pretty good on the slippy slide.
Thanks again for organising a great weekend, people should spend more time appreciating what has been done for them, instead of critising they should put their hands up to help, and start thinking about what life would be like without you organising these special events.
XXDonna
Hi Girls,
