Thank you to those who have contributed photo’s & story’s while I have completed the magazine, & I urge that members please assist John with continuing to send in contributions, even if it is just a photo or short story of an event. I also encourage all members to provide their email address so I can include you on the email list so you can gain access to the growing number of other clubs magazines that we receive each month (those who attend the meetings will be aware that the number magazines received in hardcopy is continually diminishing). Even if you still wish to receive a hardcopy of the Coota Hoota each month, we can still add you to the email list so you can read it electronically if you wish, but you will also be able to view electronically around 20 magazines from other clubs that you can no longer view at the meetings. I am sure I speak on behalf of President Hugh when I wish you a great & prosperous New Year & look forward to seeing more members out & about in 2018, starting with the New Year’s Day club run to Wallendbeen.
