The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday the 12th of March at 6.30pm at the Sports Club. Grahame would like to see a few of us at the meeting.
- Henk spoke on the Working With Children Checks and encouraged those whose WWCC# has expired or non existent to please renew and apply. John G is willing to help anyone navigate the application on line.
- Henk advised us on the progress of the CRCTB 2024 edition. Henk thanked Brian Bear for his efforts with Junee and ongoing in Temora and Marrar.
- Bear said that he was getting excellent response from advertisers old and new. The Junee Funeral Services want the front page. To date there are now 7 who are going to advertise and we have just begun.
- Bondy said that PE Adrian is in the Himalayas and will be back around the 22nd February.
We had plenty of time for fellowship and banter as both the S@A and the Cpl. were not present tonight, we did not have a fines session.
