Weekly ‘chook’ raffle

● Voluntary Participation.
● Tickets from 50¢ each.

● These proceeds help fund the club’s subsidised social activities.
● Purchase tickets as soon as you arrive so you don’t miss out.
● The raffle coordinators ‘ring the bell’ before the ticket booth closes.
● Prizes are drawn – by new club members or visitors – prior to heading off on the morning’s walk.
● Cash prizes are handed out with each draw.
● Usually 2 – 3 draws per walk event (if participant numbers support it).

A-frame noticeboard

● Club members also use this location to post and share helpful information.
● The other side of this noticeboard is reserved for information for the public, i.e., ‘what we do’, how to ‘contact us’, etc.

Our resident historian

● Say Hi to Gordon! 👋
● As an enthusiastic and long-standing member of the club, Gordon provides historical insight into the areas that we visit.
● He conducts a short yet entertaining presentation during the pre-walk briefing.

And – if you watch his shoes ‘like a hawk’ (or eagle or docker) – you might be able to guess the colour of his socks before the big reveal.
If you know, you know! 😆

Free book exchange

● Volunteer club members actively manage our very popular and mobile ‘little free library’.

● It’s all for free!

● Check out the books on offer at the ‘book table’ each Tuesday.
● Borrow what you want, return when finished, and add to our collection if you are able.
