Program (please refer to Calendar)
 
Pres Rosie
Invitation from RC Somerton Park for Coffee at the Shed.
The Shed is the one shared by Somerton Park, Unley and the District.  The coffee morning is a suggestion to get clubs together to allow ideas to be shared and may lead to joint projects outside of the traditional groups or the incoming communities, or maybe a club needs help for an event.  
These meetings are normally scheduled to meet on the first Monday of the month.  Attendees may bring cakes or biscuits, coffee and tea is supplied.
 
Due to Easter, coffee morning will be at the Shed at 10am on Monday 8th April.
 
It would be great if  some of our members can join in.  
The meeting is held at the Somerton Park Storage Shed, Stopford Road, Hove.
