We will not be holding a P&C Meeting in the month of November. Our final meeting for this year will be held on 5 December at 5.30pm at the V-Wall Tavern followed by dinner at 6.30pm.

Executive Positions

The P&C executive positions of President, Secretary and Canteen Treasurer are currently being temporarily filled. The current temporary office bearers will not be taking up these positions at the next AGM so all of the executive positions will become vacant. We are therefore looking for any interested persons who may like to take on these roles any time from now. Please contact Jane Higgins ASAP.
