We had an interesting meeting last night and reviewed some of our standard operating procedures to improve performance and take into account our new committee members. Exciting times!
Here's a bird's eye view of some of the things we have planned:
- We are establishing small sub-committee teams to manage such things as catering, events, purchase and stock control of memorabilia, bar management, and more
- We're considering running a survey to find out whether our members would like us to do something different or better
- Committee members are running a "Working Bee" on Friday, 24 Feb 23 to clean up around the hut and maybe paint it. What colour would you like to see?
- An advert and associated two-fold pamphlet is planned for distribution through the Tanunda Tourist Centre and other venues
- 18-19 April will be our Memorabilia sales days with our kiosk outside Foodland Tanunda
- 25 March is our first scheduled Sausage Sizzle at Mitre 10, Nuriootpa
- Our "The Bugle" newsletter will get back on track and issued quarterly with posted copies to members without internet and email access
- A recruitment drive is in order and we're keen to let people know where we are, how to find us and when we are open (can you help us with this? Spread the message.)
- The Department of Veterans Affairs has given us a $10,000 grant to build an Honour Board Memorial within The Hut for which we are most appreciative. This is the third such DVA grant we have benefited from in the last three years
- Our cannon has been reconditioned and we are determining where it can best be situated given the ongoing construction and landscaping activities within the Tanunda Recreation Park. At present it's waiting silently in a nearby shed
Any help you can give us by volunteering at any time will be gratefully accepted.
If you are reading this and you're not a member, you can visit us any Friday evening for our Happy Hour which usually lasts longer than an hour, and meet our members.
You don't need to be a serving or military veteran to join. Find out more here.
