Start of Season Working Bee – 9am to 11am October 12th
To prepare for our opening day on the 20th of October we are holding our annual working bee. This year we are going to put 11 work crews of 3 people per crew with 3 Jobs each and get the whole thing done in 90 minutes.
If you have some time to spare please come down to the club. It would be absolutely brilliant if we can take some load off committee, coaches and patrol captains.
If anyone can bring a large trailer for a tip run please call 0412 259 631.
