We will be holding birthday lunches on the 4th Tuesday in each month until November. We held our first one on Tuesday, 26th February at the Canowindra Hotel. Unfortunately we cannot hold one in March as the 3rd round of the District Pennants is being played. Three of our members will be celebrating birthdays this month Jeanette Wheeldon on 15th, Daph Bryant on 22nd and Joyce Middleton on 23rd. A very happy birthday to you all.
Our best wishes go with the members who are competing in the District Singles being held at Cowra commencing on Monday, 11th March.
