Thank you to Gemma, from Dover Fun Run, for coming to chat to our Social Saturday group. There are very limited spots in the Tassal Ten and Annabelle’s Run, so get in quick. The kids 2km has plenty of spots available, if you would like to run with your little tacker. Even better, the kids race concludes the event and a fantastic way to get the whole family involved.


Alex (labelled AS on the tag) is missing her medium size RMC hoodie that was left in the red milk crate. Please check your hoodies, as you may have picked up the wrong one. Hannah has a small with her that was left behind, so reach out to her.


 

PCYC Huon Valley and RMC Join Forces

This is a fantastic opportunity for youth that are finishing winter sport and looking for an activity to participate in through the summer period, an inactive adolescent who is wanting to engage within their community in a healthy and positive manner or simply a teenager who wants to exercise along side their parent or friend.
