JULY NEWSLETTER

CARNIVAL GAMES/FISH & CHIP NIGHT - This is being held at our club on Friday 17 July.    Join us for a fun evening of carnival like games and fish & chips for tea.  Full details will be sent via email closer to the time.  It’s always a good laugh so look forward to seeing you there.

FLAG 500 – our next one is on 23 July.  This is a great fundraiser for our club.  In lieu of grocery items, Lyn Rance is asking for monetary donations to go towards meat packs for the raffle prizes.  These bring a lot of money into the club, so if you are able to spare even $5, this would be much appreciated.   Please either give the money to Lyn directly or deposit it into the GIBC bank account with Flag 500 as the reference.

VENUE HIRES – we have a few venue hires coming up so the clubrooms will be unavailable on the following dates:  18 July, 25 July, 15 Aug, 23 Aug, 28 Aug & 29 Aug.

LOTTO – next round has started so if you haven’t already paid $25, can you please do so.  There are also a few numbers available so if you would like to take a number, please contact Prydie.

AGM – Thank you to all the members that attended our AGM – what a good turnout.  We still have two positions to fill.  Men’s Saturday selector (morning and afternoon) and Results Recorder.  If you would like to volunteer for one of these positions, please let Sarah know.

MURAL UPDATE – Sarah has been working closely with the Greater Green Island Community Network to get the Memorandum of Understanding and Terms of Reference agreed to ensure that it’s clear who will be responsible for what, when, etc.

With that in place, it means we can now move forward with purpose. The project has been separated into phases to make it easier to track and Phase 1 is underway.  One activity of Phase 1 is to establish a small project working group.  Sarah can’t do this on her own so she’s putting the call out asking for one or two people that would be available to assist as we move forward.  The types of things that you would be asked to do would be:

  • Helping to research and collate information
  • Take photos, measurements, etc, and send to prospective artists
  • Help liaise with other people with the project
  • General items as needed

Sarah will be the main contact person so will help guide and advise what is required.  If you are interested and/or would like further info, please get in touch with her and have a chat 😊
