I am writing to you to express our deep gratitude for the Leader's support by publishing our What's On items that promoted our open day for the public on Sunday, September 27.
As a result, we attracted 176 visitors from the shire, St George and surrounding districts, even as far south as Nowra, as readers pass on public interest information.
Might I add we signed up at least eight new members.
The event was well received by all those in attendance and we provided food and goodies which were well received.
In conclusion, the day was a fantastic success, thanks to your efforts.
Geoff Henning, Hon. Secretary
