We held a very successful Charity Day on Wednesday 19th May with an attendance of 68 members. The day was both enjoyable for members attending and raised $2086. Together with money held in the charity account from before, the club will be donating $3500 to the Northern Beaches Rural Fire Brigade.
A big thank you to Rob Scott for his entertaining leadership on the day. Rob selflessly decided not to play so he could ensure the day ran smoothly. [Also to Trish Berry who together with Rob organised the event - Ed]
We received this message recently from Ken Hughes of the RFS which we share with you:
I just thought as our major supporter over many years I would let you know what the Northern Beaches RFS brigades have been doing this fire season. I have been a volunteer for 40 years and have never seen anything like the current situation.
As you can imagine we have been very busy throughout NSW over the last few months. We have served from Port Macquarie in the north, south to Narooma and west to Lithgow, Tumut and the Snowy Mountains.
The Club has decided to rename our "Supervised Sessions" to "Practice Play" to better reflect what goes on.
Nothing else has changed and our Practice Play session directors look forward to seeing you there!
The Club subsidises a lesson once a month in the Tuesday & Friday Practice Play sessions. So for 1 voucher (or $7), members can review and refresh with Cath Whiddon – in January the topic is ALL ABOUT NT openings and responses and PLANNING THE PLAY:
