It’s A Knockout Postponement!!!!

All members should have received an email from Roy Killen earlier today about the postonement of our “It’s a Knockout” activity tonight at Valentine Bowling Club this evening. Unfortunately Greg Carruthers has contracted Covid and as he was in attendance along with others at Monday’s Coffee Catchup we thought it prudent and in the best interests of members to postpone tonight. So, a chance to stay at home this evening.

Membership Renewal – Final Reminder

If you want to remain a member of our club you have until Wednesday 31st July to pay your membership fees. After that date our membership coordinator will be “locking” you out of our website. If you need help in paying your fees please let us know.

I have previously posted about a mystery payer who paid their fees on 26/6/24. If you renewed your membership on that date could you please contact Joy Thomas – joy.thomas916@gmail.com or Ruth Keech – ruthk@iinet.net.au please. As no one responded to the earlier post someone who has paid their annual fees will be locked out of our website from the 31st July. If this is you please contact Ruth or Joy.
