The Neighbourhood Centre is directly opposite the Target complex, set back a little, entrance off a little lane next to the old picture theatre on the highway just before Standish Street. On the other side of the Centre is a Caltex Service Station. Street parking, and parking at the rear entered from Standish Street or, behind Target accross the road by going around the new roundabout. Pauline will be scouting for names for nominations this Sunday so please consider putting your hand up.

You will need to be a current financial member to nominate as a member of the committee or be part of the executive. I will send out more information as the time draws nearer.

There will be Summer Walks as usual which will commence on the first Sunday of January 2019. The will be in Bright, Myrtleford, Beechworth and Milawa. All members and supporters are welcome to come along. More details closer to the events.
