NATIVES CLUB HOUSE DECK UPGRADE

Thanks to an enthusiastic turnout by club members, partners and family members to a working bee on Sunday, April 17th the ongoing upgrade of our clubhouse was progressed by the installation of a steel support beam which allowed a post to be removed and thereby increased the usable space on the outdoor deck. Painting of the clubhouse exterior was commenced and the installation of new signage has highlighted our Club’s presence to visitors and prospective members.

Who needs enemies with club mates like this?

Dave “The Pieman” Gardner left his pride-and-joy where he thought it would be safe while he worked
at manicuring our great rifle range. We can only imagine his thoughts when he returned to find
his beloved chariot mortally wounded by a runaway van owned by a Natives club(mate?).

Now we shouldn’t name names – but, if you wink, wink I’ll nudge, nudge! Let’s just say that the offending van
has pictures of children’s’ jumping castles on the side. The said unnamed driver of the van has been severely
tormented by his fellow club members and issued with an appropriate device to replace the parking brake on
his van which was not properly engaged in this incident.

As further punishment the offender shall henceforth be known as “Handbrake”!!!
