It wont have been obvious to most members, but
the sign above our main door has been secured
by rope for some time now, due to the deterioration of the backing board.
However, thanks to the following committee
members, Ron Killoh, Wattie Strachan and Dave
Walsh, the sign above the front door has had a
new backing board fitted and the sign is secure
once more.
Thanks guys, you’ve done a great job, much appreciated
On Friday 2nd October there is a Marie Curie Fundraiser, featuring Maris
Janetta Big Band from 7 till 10.30PM
Committee Vacancies
We still have several vacancies for committee members, anyone interested in
joining our committee or seeking details
of what is required should contact any
committee member or leave word at the
bar and we’ll get back to you.
