Robyn's E News 10 December 2012


Hi All,

We have our fantastic Christmas Splash N Dash coming up on Saturday evening.  This has become a real club tradition and RD Rob Weatherald is sure to have some surprises in store. Come on down and join in … but don’t forget to save a little energy to team up with one our juniors for the Christmas relay. 

We encourage you all to don some tinsel, jingle bells, Santa hats etc for this one!!  I hear there will be lolly bags and other surprises for the juniors.
