Betts Funeral Service Parking For Visit.
 
Currently, Butler St has road works taking place on it (although it is nearing completion) and when visiting Betts Funeral Services on Tuesday evening there may be no parking - or it may be restricted (also you may not wish to park there because of resealing).
You will be able to park in North, Bank and Arthur Sts, plus Betts have parking behind their building & reserved parking across the road in Butler St opposite Betts in the Hibernian car park.

Information Required.
 
Remember this is "your" bulletin and so please email information to me on what your committee is doing (or planning) so everyone can be aware of it.
Lack of the above will mean the bulletin is not advising the members of what is happening in the club & particapation will be down.

Editors Humour.
 
Starving after hours of driving nonstop, Paul and Liz pulled over at a petrol station. While Paul filled up the car, Liz went into the shop and placed our order to go. After writing it all down, the girl behind the register asked, “Will that be all for you?” “No,” Liz replied a bit defensively. “Some of it’s for my husband Paul.”

While taking a clinical history from an elderly patient named George, Francis asked, “How’s your love life?” “I don’t know,” Francis said. “I’ll ask my wife.” He got up, walked into the hallway where his wife was sitting, and shouted, “Hey, the doctor wants to know if we still have sex.” His wife shouted back, “No, the only thing we have is 'Southern Cross'

A coworker was telling us all about her trip to Las Vegas. “That sounds great. Where’d you stay?” asked a colleague. “I can’t remember,” she said. “But I think it began with an s.” “Was it Caesar’s?”
