January 2015 Membership Open House

Shake the January blues on Sunday January 11th, 2015 from 10 am to 4 pm.

Come out to the clubhouse and renew your membership, have a coffee, chat with friends, check out the Swap Meet and hang around for a short general meeting.

The Annual General Meeting will be scheduled for March 2015. New year gate keys will be issued then, so hang on to your current (2014) key.  The date change for the AGM was made to accommodate our required financial review for 2014 by a professional accountant and to have the Constitution and Bylaw revisions approved and ready for implementation with the next election of club executives.
