Calendar Activities

Games Night
We are resuming our popular Games program as part of the Club’s Activity calendar.
The location is the Brunswick East Bocce Club, located at 98 Victoria St Brunswick East and we will play from 6.00 pm to 8.00 pm on Tuesday nights, starting Tuesday 13th February.
It’s a weekly session, so check the Club calendar for the dates.
Please note due to the Excursion on 20 Feb there will not be games that night.
We play Mahjong, Rummikub and are open to any other suggestions that members would like to make.
We just have a cup of tea/coffee and a biscuit during the games or at the end, whatever suits on the night.
There is a cost of $5.00 each night to cover the tea/coffee and hire of the venue.
If attending, you need to be a Bocce Club member (if not already); the cost will be $10 and renewed in June for a cost of $25.00.
We can arrange this on your first night if needed.

The Club is providing a two-course Christmas meal + champagne at the conclusion of our next General Meeting,
but we need to know exact numbers to enable the Hotel to cater effectively.
The attached table (Xmas lunch list) shows the responses that we have received so far; great to see all that
will be there. If your name is not marked ‘yes’ then there won’t be a Christmas meal for you on that day.
We need to have final numbers by next Wednesday 29/6, so please advise Ailsa Head on [email protected] by
that date if you’re not recorded on the list as ‘yes’ and you wish to be included, or if you now cannot attend.
If there are any further enquiries about the menu, please contact Noelene on [email protected]
Good afternoon members
I remind you that if you intend to join your friends at our next Christmas In July General Meeting on 5 July and partake in a Christmas lunch, you will need to let Ailsa know: [email protected]
