Last week we debriefed on the fun run. There was some really useful feedback that we can feed into the event next year. It was good that there was such a positive answer to “will we do it again”. We’ll have to get a committee together soon to start the ball rolling for 2018 so we can ensure that we put the feedback into practice.
As part of our fundraising for the fun run Grill’d at Macquarie Centre have made us one of their charities for the month. If you are planning a meal out consider going to Grill’d and putting a token in our jar. Let friends and neighbours know as well.
This Friday we have Krissie Webb talking to us about attracting and keeping younger members into the club. This should be very interesting and probably challenging.
Don’t forget the Eastwood Gladesville trivia night this Saturday 9 September. See Barbara if you want to attend.
Hunters Hill Club has Clive Small speaking at their meeting 6:30pm on Wednesday 13 September at Gladesville Sporties Club. Clive is an ex-Deputy Police Commissioner who has always been outspoken about law and order. If interested contact Roger O’Dwyer on
rogerodwyer@ozemail.com.au.
Last call for those who wish to go to Jazz in the Arboretum on Sunday 1 October at Pearl Beach. Simon Tedeschi and The George Washing Machine band are playing. Tickets are $40 if I can get more than 10 people ($45 otherwise). Children are $25. Please let me know on Friday as I will buy tickets that afternoon.
If you haven’t returned your survey form about our club it would be good if you could so we can discuss the ideas at the board and at a club assembly.
David is flying back on 11 September. It will be great to see him. I hope he can feel our very distant hugs as he deals with a difficult week.
