DECEMBER/JANUARY newsletter is here!

Dear Everyone,

I hope you had a very good holiday period. If you are anything like me you would have been very busy making your holiday the best it could be during the holiday period.

The newsletter is full of news about the club having a big clean and a new bench made for the drill press, thanks to our members who are very kind and clever.
Margaret has also contributed a very informative article, thank you. As Judy has mentioned we are always looking for articles fun and informative. If they are not your handiwork PLEASE mention where you got your information. We need to know. Send them to Judy.

Apologies for the late publishing, a glitch in my emails. Computers-love them or Leave them, I can do neither.
Take Care and hopefully we will be vaccinated soon.

November Newsletter 2020

Hi Everyone!
Here’s wishing you all a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year
The newsletter tells you most of our current news. We haven’t any plans for December due to the Covid 19 pandemic. Thank Goodness Australia is only having the rare case show up but that’s due to our mask wearing, hand washing and careful attention. Please do not forget it takes a bit of indifference to change that. Keep up the good work.

Plans for re opening have not been made. If you are on the newsletter list please keep checking with the lapidary Facebook or here to see if the executive committee has decided it is safe to re open. Now that the vaccine has been released to some it will not be long.
Take time to read the newsletter, Judy has put in a great deal of effort to make the newsletter very enjoyable.

Hope you have a very Merry Christmas, stay home and stay safe/
Best Wishes, Kathy

August Newsletter 2020 covid news

Hi everyone, Sorry, not good news on the opening up of the club for now.
I am speaking for myself but I think we could open with all the rules in mind. Social distancing, masks, gloves, disinfectant use and small numbers coming in at a time.
Please comment on the clubs Facebook page and/ or message group if you have any ideas.
And also please pay your membership fees. The membership fees are on most of the newsletters listed on the left side of this page.
Pensioners are $10 plus $5 insurance. Only a very small amount to keep our club open and ready for you when we are truly open and ready for us when the time comes.
Here is the latest newsletter for those who are wanting to keep in touch.
I certainly miss you and wish you and your families well.
Best Wishes,
Kathy
