Looking for Bingo Volunteers
OUR REGULAR WEEKLY MEETINGS RETURN TO THE OSHAWA GOLF CLUB SOON:
DATE TO BE ANNOUNCED:
Some changes are coming due to COVID-19 restrictions
Members will need to inform David Andrews if they are not coming to a meeting just as before. Note: We will need 100% of the members on board with this.
A combination of in person plus zoom does not look promising unless we can get a minimum of 20 members attending each meeting , in person at the Golf Club.
