Happy New Year

Women’s group will supply sausages, marinated chicken pieces, bread, tomato sauce, paper plates, cups, serviettes, members please bring juice, tea coffee, salads, baking, games etc

Unfortunately we are limited to 50 persons at the BBQ

Just to let you know I visited The Cornwall Park Information Centre on Friday to confirm our booking, only to be told that we cannot use any of the Gas BBQ’s, as they have a major problems with them, However, we can still use the Wood BBQ’s.  Best way to get to the BBQ area is from Greenlane Road “Main Entrance” drive ahead and turn left just past the Band Rotunda  and go around about, there is a parking area there. You are more than welcome to earlier if you wish.

 If you do get lost, you can contact me on my mobile, some of us will be at the BBQ area early, around 11.00ish, just in case someone gets lost.

Also if you can bring a portable Gas BBQ with you, would appreciate it very much

Look forward to seeing you there on the day, hope the rain stays away

Members who have booked for Dinner on Sunday 17th February at Imperial Garden Restaurant. I will be bring the tickets with me to hand over, would appreciate if you also bring money with you $35.00 per person, otherwise it will be a mad house on the night of dinner.  Thanks.
