tennis tournament played at Deviot.
. Celebrated with a period luncheon 200 years since Governor Lachlan Macquarie landed on the 
West Tamar.

. Organised 2 successful and well attended seasonal markets.
. Installed a new playground with thanks to the Tasmanian Community Fund & West Tamar Council.
. Had our second progressive garage sale which will now become an annual fundraising event.

Working Bee Saturday & Sunday 4th & 5th August
You may have heard we are participating in the West Tamar Arts Group celebration of halls in the West Tamar 
Region in October.  Part of the deal is Dulux has donated paint to all of the halls to spruce them up for the event.  
We applied for paint & accessories to paint the inside of the hall and we plan to do this on the first weekend in 
August.  We will need 6-8 volunteers on Saturday to clean, patch & sand the ceiling & half the walls and on Sunday 
we will need the same number to apply 2 coats.  If you can commit yourself to helping with this exercise, please 
let me know. 
 I look forward to an overwhelming response!!
