'Formal' Breakfast this Wednesday at 7.00 am for 7.30 am
Golf Day is less than two weeks away, on 30th October 2023. This is one of our major fundraising days so we need “all hands on deck”, especially with the selling of raffle tickets. There are over $3000.00 in prizes!!!! For the golfers there is a Trybooking site set up so nominate your teams today.
The next board meeting is on 8th November 2023 at the Surf Club at 7.00 am. Some of the members were going to be away on the previously advised date.
Graeme Isaascon has organised the Xmas breakfast again at Marina Mirage, on Wednesday 20th December 2023. A Trybooking site will be set up shortly.
On a very sad note, on behalf of the club, I would like to send our deepest sympathies to Gerald and Margaret East on the passing of their daughter Kim. Thanks Franz for notifying all the members.
Thought for the Day: May tender memories soften your grief, may fond recollection bring you relief. Helen Steiner Rice
