The President's thought for the week:

''So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.

 

Manager's Comments:

As you all know, there has been some disruption in The Citz Restaurant with the change of Chefs over the last few months.

The Executive and I would like to offer our apologies to those members and guests who have experienced a meal that is not up to our normal standard.

Going ahead:  We now have a new menu plus exciting weekly specials.  Every Saturday night the Chef is having an 'all you can eat' two course carvery for $25 per person, children under thirteen will only pay $1 per year of their age.

To you all, please come in and try the new menu and if you have any concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Joanna Young

 

PLEASE NOTE:  When there is a public holiday on a Monday, the 55+ Snooker Club will be playing on the Tuesday so the tables will be busy.
