Dear all,

After much soul searching and due to the increasing number of Covid cases locally, Jill has reluctantly decided to Postpone the event on Friday 30th July in memory of Gary. This is in the interest of keeping everybody safe.

Jill hopes to be able to hold this event on the same date next year.

Kind regards,

On behalf of Jill Fitzgerald and Family.
