April Moreland BUG meeting
The April Moreland BUG meeting is a week early (to avoid a clash with the ANZAC day long weekend).
It will be held on 17 April at 7.30pm at the Pascoe Vale RSL, 40 Cumberland Rd, Pascoe Vale (at the corner of Cumberland Rd and O’Heas St).
The meeting will be held in a room out the back, so if you are late, ask the bar staff to direct you to the back room. There is a bistro if you want dinner; we think the bistro is open from 6.00 pm to 8.00 pm.
