DECEMBER
This will be our final sausage sizzle for the year. If you'd like to help out please let Tony know.
Tuesday 31 December, Breakfast Brunch With Yarra Ranges Branch
The
Yarra Ranges branch will be visiting Canberra over the new year period
and we have organised a social get-together for visitors AND locals.
Canberra will host a BBQ brunch at Cotter Reserve for Ulyssians and
partners from 10am. I am seeking someone to meet the visitors at their
Motel on Northbourne and lead them out to Cotter, please contact me if
you'd like to act as tour guide for the day. Otherwise it will be pretty
much the same formula as the recent branch BBQ except we'll be
providing egg and bacon rolls.
To facilitate catering, please RSVP to me and let me know you are coming and if you are bringing a guest. president.ulyssescanberra@gmail.com
