Our Management Committee is already

planning activities for the New Year

(2013). We are pleased with the

continuing success of our social events

however we would like to put an

increased focus on community based

activities. If you have any suggestions or

more importantly if you are able to

assist with any of these, then, we would

like to hear from you.

I will also be forming a steering

committee shortly to coordinate major

activities as we build up to our 25th

Anniversary (Feb 2014) celebrations,

which will commence from April 2013. I

am open to all suggestions and

assistance available from our members.

Finally, our October Sunday lunch is on

the 14th October and we will be toasting

all our senior members with lots of

music, a sing-along or two and of course

dancing! Younger members…we have

not forgotten you!! There will be a

soccer game after lunch for kids & dads

and even the ladies if they want to play!

Please bring the family and come and

join us…

When your number is called, present

your numbered ticket plus the voucher

(N.B: One ticket = one main meal + side dish).

A gentle plea - please have the correct amount

handy to save us running out of change.

In the unfortunate event that we run out of all

meals, we will refund your money.

dren from 7 to 17 years old who are or whose parents are current financial members. The
