Christmas Picnic Cancelled

Hi All,

Unfortunately this rain is meant to continue all day and with the all the rain over this past three days, Croslands Reseve is quite boggy, so we have made the decision to cancel todays picnic 🙁

Due to the busy Christmas period, we don’t feel there would be a suitable date to suit most to reschedule, so we will save our celebrations until next year.

On behalf of the committee, we wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a safe holiday season and look forward to welcoming you back on Tuesday 30th January.

Warm Regards

Your Committee
