This Weekends Music Festival
The Pirates Tavern will be open as usual on Friday but there is no music. 3RRR will be

the rear entrance but cannot enter the Music Festival unless paid for as this is a ticketed

Working Bee
Seaworks will be holding a working bee on site on the 25 th and 26th of October. There are
many tasks to be undertaken and we are looking for volunteers to assist. Jobs range from
painting, weed removal, rubbish cleanup, general cleanup, downpipe replacements to many
other small jobs. If anybody can spare some time on either or both these days your
assistance would be greatly appreciated. We will have a BBQ for the volunteers. If you can
help could you please email me on [email protected] with any relevant skills so
that we can allocate the most suitable job.
