IMPORTANT NOTICE - CHANGE OF VENUE AND MEETING
OUR MEETINGS WILL TAKE PLACE AT
THE PERTH AND TATTERSALLS BOWLING CLUB, Plain Street, Perth.
ON THE THIRD MONDAY OF EACH MONTH AT 7.30pm
How to get there:
Access to the Perth and Tattersalls Club is from Plain St. Approximately 150 metres from the Riverside Drive Junction and almost opposite Terrace Rd. If you go into the Paid Parking area nearer Adelaide Tce., you will need to come back on Plain St and take the first turn left - this is an unsealed road and will take you to free parking by the club. Notes of special General Meeting held on 12th August (see Read More below) explain why this decision was taken. All members were advised of this meeting, either by email or post, by the Secretary.

Who suffered severely from piles
He couldn't sit down

He couldn't sit down
Without a deep frown
