Midcourse Reserve update
The Club had loosely discussed the thought of getting a shade cloth installed over the playground. We would need Council assistance.
 
A couple of wandering members noticed that installation works are in progress! Not sure how this has happened, but ours is not to reason why...
Now there this a new covering of bark chips, so things are happening.
 
Jean is collating a list of those who would like pavers (inscribed with names) to be installed. We have to have a reasonable number (20-30) to make it cost effective. Please let Jean know.
