Working Bee
Thank you to the 25 members who put in their time and effort at the club working bee. Various work was undertaken, including landscaping, gardening, cleaning the kitchen and other areas, hanging pictures in the back room, relocating the first aid room etc. There is more work to be done in the future, therefore another working bee is being planned for December. We would love to see some new faces helping out!
