COFFEE POINTERS I WHAT'S ON THIS WEEK
|
|
|
|
|
|
We trust all members had a memorable ANZAC Day and enjoyed the rest of the weekend. From the number of empty pens, it would seem that many members took advantage of the opportunity to enjoy their vessels. It is heartening news that the Government is relaxing some of the restrictions on the number of people that can gather for certain activities while maintaining social distancing and the 4m2 rule. The Management Committee is considering what activities might be restarted with the new maximum number of people gathering for activities and will communicate their decision in the coming days.
