BOTTLE AND CAN REFUNDS

This could be a great way to earn the club extra funds.

I found this on the web when I saw the 10c sign on a stubby of beer and

looked it up

How to get involved From 1 December, schools, charities and community groups can fundraise through Return and

Earn, simply by collecting eligible containers and redeeming them at collection points for 10

cents each (collection points will be announced on this site soon).

Opportunities will continue to grow, and we’ll be able to offer further support, as Return and

Earn continues to roll out across NSW. Options will include collecting containers (and asking

community members to donate their containers to your organisation), becoming a collection

point, or having your charity listed on reverse vending machines (where the public can choose to

directly donate their refunds to you).

To find out how your organisation can participate and fundraise through Return and Earn, please

contact us at enquiries@tcnsw.com.au.

Robin’s Comment on the meeting. The scheme of meeting upstairs in the Boardroom for business, and then

moving downstairs for a social dinner worked well. Indeed the 11 members present were enjoying chatting

so that no-one left until about 8.20 pm !

PLAYING WITH WORDS

To write with a broken pencil is pointless.

When fish are in schools they sometimes take debate.

A thief who stole a calendar got twelve months.

When the smog lifts in Los Angeles, U.C.L.A.

The professor discovered that her theory of earthquakes was on shaky ground.

The batteries were given out free of charge.

A dentist and a manicurist married. They fought tooth and nail.

A will is a dead giveaway.

With her marriage, she got a new name and a dress.

Show me a piano falling down a mineshaft and I'll show you A-flat miner.

You are stuck with your debt if you can't budge it.

Local Area Network in Australia: The LAN down under.

A boiled egg is hard to beat.

When you've seen one shopping centre you've seen a mall.

Police were called to a day care centre where a three-year-old was resisting a rest.

Did you hear about the fellow whose whole left side was cut off? He's all right now.

If you take a laptop computer for a run you could jog your memory.

A bicycle can't stand alone; it is two tired.

In a democracy it's your vote that counts; in feudalism, it's your Count that votes.

When a clock is hungry it goes back four seconds.

The guy who fell onto an upholstery machine was fully recovered.

He had a photographic memory which was never developed.

Those who get too big for their britches will be exposed in the end.

When she saw her first strands of grey hair, she thought she'd dye.

Acupuncture: a jab well done.

And my old standby is:

The guy that fell into the glass making machine made a spectacle of himself.

A PIECE OF HISTORY

THE CLOCK IS STUCK AT 6.20. MAYBE IT WAS

TO GIVE A 10 MINUTE WARNING TO MEMBERS

SO THAT THEY COULD TAKE THEIR SEATS.

THE FOUR WAY TEST Of the things we think, say or do:

Is it the TRUTH? Is it FAIR to all concerned?

Will it build GOODWILL and better FRIENDSHIPS? Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
