I also wish to extend my congratulations to Bill Bowler, Adam Law, Allen Smith, Valda Bray and of course the love of my life on their recognition awards. As I said last Monday, my theme for the year is “Fun & Fellowship whilst Serving our Community”. I have committed to continue work on the Mens Shed project and would like to see the Club provide a Wheelchair Accessible swing at Buttonshaw Park. Monday the 17th will be our first Club

Assembly, so get your ideas & suggestions together so we can discuss them then.
