Our first activity of 2020 will be a social BBQ at Brickmakers Park in Oakleigh on Tuesday 7th January 2020 from 6:30pm. Seats might be needed as there is limited seating, but plenty of space at the BBQs.
This is also the due date for our February competition, so bring along your print entries and make sure you are a paid up member!
Our venue:
Brickmakers Park
23-29 Stamford Road, Oakleigh 3166
