2020 Calendar
Some things to remember
1. We are taking the COVID-19 pandemic seriously and have precautions in place.
2. We are asking all members who are UNWELL or even FEELING slightly unwell to stay home....please don’t be offended if you are asked to leave if you are suspected of being unwell.
3. We have a COVID-19 plan in place and I’ve done the training to be the ‘COVID Marshall’ (if anyone else would like to volunteer for the role, please put your hand up)
4. You are welcome to wear masks, you will be required to sign in and provide contact details, use sanitiser on entry and exit, we also have the use of a thermometer.
5. The room will be set up to ensure social distancing and ask everyone abide by these.
6. None of the above is out of the ordinary these days, so your cooperation would be awesome to help keep everyone safe.

LOCH LUNA TOUR.
Hi Everyone.
In our old Calendar we had Sunday the 20th as a Loch Luna tour. I have spoken to Carl the owner of Loch Luna Tours and he is up and running again.
However due to covid -19 he needs to maintain 1.5 m between seats unless it is a couple , so the numbers are restricted to 5-6 people instead of 10.
Last year it cost $40 so with limited numbers it may be a little more.
Sunday looks like it will be sunny / cloudy with a maximum of 25 degrees so it should be perfect for this outing.
As it is a 2 hour drive I would suggest car pooling. If you are interested in going please comment on this post and the first 6 people will be booked in. Please advise if you wish to drive or get a lift with someone.
It commences at 9:30am we need to be in Kingston at 9:15 so we need to leave TTG by 7am.
Last year some of us stayed overnight in Barmera and travelled the 15 minutes to Kingston.
