Fundraisers
Alas, these are what keep the SSH going all year, so they are essential, as well as being good fun. We held a BBQ at Mitre 10 in Matraville on February 15. It was a wet morning and our chefs and helpers deserve special mention and thanks: Simon, Lyn, Ross – and thanks to Vanessa Watson for organising this one! We are currently planning another dinner-fundraiser for this year – details next month!
Daylight Saving ends April 6
Daylight Saving ends at 3am on the first Sunday in April – don’t forget to put your clocks back one hour.
Until next time!
