CWD 1st May 2021

Kinisha Roweth reports.

As the month of April is now over, if you have not renewed your membership and try to use your timing chip at Runners Club it will not register. As soon as you have completed your membership renewal it will work again.

Another reminder of the club’s AGM. It is on Thursday 13th of May, in the Media room at Hotel Canobolas, beginning at 7pm. After the meeting there will be pizzas provided for those in attendance. Please email President Coop if you plan on coming.
