Mike's talk next Tuesday (5 July 2022)

I made a boo-boo in Trails (our email newsletter) regarding member, Mike's talk next Tuesday. He will actually be talking about his mother's family history tales, DNA and a surprise DNA. Sorry for the mis-information!

Hope to see all at the South Tweed Sports Club (4 Minjungbal Drive, Tweed Heads South) next Tuesday. Arrive by 1.15 pm for a 1.30 pm start.
