Week of 3 April
This week’s meeting was a club assembly, and a number of important issues were addressed. A roster was begun for the markets at the Up-To-Date Store on Easter Saturday, but more help is needed. Members who were unable to attend the meeting but are still keen to help out on the day are requested to contact Paul to get your name on the roster. Members are asked to consider attending the upcoming Bingo, which will take place on Thursday, 13 April. Also, board members are reminded to put date of Sunday, 30 April in their diaries; that’s the date of the district training session for incoming directors. The event will take place in West Wyalong from 10 am through 3 pm; a formal programme will be distributed in the near future. Should be an interesting day!
We’ll be inducting Julie Clark at Monday’s meeting, so please plan to be there (and bring your partner!).

Answer to the last Puzzler:
If you mix hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide together in equal amounts, the acid neutralises the base and you’re left with a solution of sodium chloride (salt water), which is harmless to drink (in moderate amounts!).
