No new members today but our membership this year has risen to 125 , which is good this early in the year.
The sponsor today was Drummond Golf Cairns, thanks to Darren and everyone in the Alfred Street Store.
It was good to see Darren in Mareeba the weekend before last coaching juniors- the future of the game!
Next Week Mareeba for an 8am start. With the price of fuel at the moment and no likelihood of a drop in price, perhaps it might be time to think about car pooling. Give it a thought. Sponsor is Elements Air and Refrigeration.
