JOBS STILL VACANT
Nowadays everybody loves communicating with everybody else via e-mail, so how about communicating via the Regional newsletter? Being the editor is a great job (I should know I do it!) At the AGM the job is up for grabs, so why don’t YOU run with it.
Don’t forget it’s your club, your region and if everybody was to do a little bit then things would run even better than they do now. Think about it, every little helps.
Next Meeting Sunday 21st March 2010 @ 11.30
The Poldark Inn, Delabole
Other events for the next couple of months.
