Good luck to all players, and thanks from the club to our valued Life Members who make the weekend possible. A barbecue for all participants will be available before play on Saturday and Sunday.

Members are advised to use caution when entering the club via Memorial Park, which will be the entrance while works on Memorial Drive are taking place for the next week or so.
Today the club has a major function, so Bingo has been cancelled for a week. Players are reminded it will be ‘eyes down’ as usual next Friday.
The raffles continue tonight, and if you are staying for dinner make sure you have a booking. Raffle tickets are on sale from 6pm with draws from 7.30pm.
