President's Comments
 
As we await Premier Dan’s announcement on lockdown, it is great to see us all still connecting, keeping in communication and staying well. Keep it up!
 
 
Stay safe, stay well, and enjoy (hopefully….) some eased restrictions on lockdown.
 
Cheers
President Greg
 
 
Sergeant's Snippets
This Thursday the Sergeant is interested in a name, a place, an animal a thing.
 
When you are out walking this week take your camera/phone and take a photo of an interesting aspect of your walk. Send the photo to Estelle.  Write a few accompanying words about the photo. e.g. what caught your interest, does it appeal to your sense of humour, your artistic taste, is it unusual for your neighborhood.
 
Have your photo to Estelle by MONDAY 26th October.
