The club has contributed $4400 to the construction of the Yarning Circle - so named out of respect for the local indigenous people who first lived in the area, and who used to gather to share stories and history, and to encourage current-day visitors to sit, rest, and "yarn" about their experience in the lake area.
The invitation from the BBL committee is attached - could you please RSVP to Janette (not the contact on the invite) by return email by Friday, November 20, and she will pass on numbers to the organisers.
