All classes have been running smoothly and have been well attended.
Our morning tea held on Monday June 17 2024 was also well attended with a total of 68.
Our two guest speakers, Kathy Lewis from NOVACARE and Jan Bynon from the Stroke Foundation, gave informative talks relevant to our audience age group.
Thank you, Lindsay Threadgate, for taking charge of the event together with the ladies who organised a well- received Morning Tea and Mitzi Gordon for organising the door prizes.
Thanks to all Committee members and Tutors for stepping up and taking on extra duties following the absence of Sandra and Barry.
