Arrangements are in place with groups for catering.  Meals will be pre-paid with three classes: - both dinner and breakfast, dinner only, or breakfast only.  We are not arranging for casual meals, all venues are within 1.5kms of towns.  Current expectations are that meals will be very similar to what was served last year.   We require two more members to join the Poker Run Committee (8 people), and take on the co-ordinating roles for meal markers and give aways.  We are also asking members to register their name to volunteer some of their time over the course of the run to help with manning the poker hand tables, mark off meal sheets, selling raffle tickets and do the give aways. Those with Blue Cards are asked to give rides and marshal at schools and also at the afternoon rides for the children and adults. The saying: 'many hands make light work' will ensure that those organising the run enjoy it as much as everyone else.  To help please contact Tank or Gail on 49417205, Tank 0427417205, Gail 0438417205 or E-mail: gailtank@bigpond.com
