 Community Notices, Tips and Personal Requests.

 Advertising for community events of interest to some members turn up in the clubs in box. They interest a limited number of our ladies, so Barbara will briefly indicate what is on offer and the details will be on the back table for members to look at. Interesting tips and personal requests can also be put there.  And with the holidays coming up, don’t forget the book exchange.

 Your Committee wishes you all the very best for the Festive Season                                                Lorna
