Broadcast - 19 September 2021
Sorry to break it to you folks but this week’s news must again mainly be a rehash of coming events, as all continues very quiet on the home front. I can tell you though that we had an excellent roll up at the Club on Friday for coffee morning. Lots of chatter happening, with plenty of food, tea and coffee being enjoyed by all.
A friendly reminder that numbers need to be finalised for our social dinner gathering on Tuesday 28th September so if you planning to attend could you please either note your name on the dinner attendance sheet next to the sign in register at the club room, or alternatively please email the secretary on the email address noted in the future events notice regarding this outing.
Once again a reminder to all attending the club rooms that we have the Check in TAS app at our club rooms. By registering and using the Check in TAS app we are complying with the Public Health Directions by enabling our members to self – check in at the club room. Also, please remember to use the hand sanitizer after you have signed in.
