PARKING
Council has denied us use of the Reserve for overflow parking, I’m in the process of trying to get approval to use the carpark at Fort Glanville but at the moment the best bet is along Military road or down at the beach front at Semaphore South then walk back along the Beach Path. Any changes to this I’ll advise
CATERING
**HUGE** Thank You to Rotary West Lakes who will be manning our Catering Tent on Saturday. All members please stop by and say Thank you!!
- BBQ and soft drinks tent near the walkway to the beach,
- Bar upstairs will be open and serving coffee, cold drinks etc
