Held at 5:00 pm on Sat 16 Mar 2019.

Our annual Spring Pot Luck Dinner was (again) a great success.  Apart from everybody eating well and having a great time, we also recognized the massive contributions that Verle and Frank Kaweski have made at the club, and announced that the Wednesday Afternoon Mixed Triples League will henceforth be named the Kaweski Mixed League.
