From the President:
Beginners classes have started this week on Monday night and Friday morning in the clubrooms. The last set of classes were due to start on the day we shut the club so it is a promising sign to be able to hold this course of lessons. Our thanks go to our teacher extraordinaire, Barb Toohey, who is ably supported by Jeanette Grahame and Lesley Gunson. The next stage of the education program has continued through this year with Barb conducting lessons via Zoom on Wednesday and Friday (now back to Thursday) mornings.
Best wishes,
Pam

Lighter Moments
The most aggravating thing about the younger generation is that I no longer belong to it.
(Albert Einstein)
I caught my son chewing on an electrical cord, so I had to ground him. He is doing better currently, and now conducting himself properly.
