Hi all, Wel­come to the July newslet­ter. What an up and down month we have had for June. We start­ed the month in lock­down and held our first offi­cial club meet­ing via zoom.

Hi all, Wel­come to the June newslet­ter. I was only say­ing last month things are start­ing to get back to nor­mal and before we know it, we are back in a lock­down here in Mel­bourne and Vic­to­ria.
