WHATS ON @ THE SQUADDIE
Lane Cove Rugby Plans to Honour
‘There would not be Lane Cove Rugby Union Club without the Notleys'
The Notley brothers John and twins Dick (dec) and Peter were there from the start - 1949
The L.C.R.U. Club is honouring their contribution with a Plaque mounted in the new amenities at Tantallon Oval, Lane Cove
The Plaque will be unveiled on Saturday July 22nd, at 1pm.
We would love to see as many as possible at the Maurie Batcheler Bar at Tantallon Oval to help us recognise and honour the Notleys.

Robert Chapman
At the Sydney Flying Squadron, Bob, for many years has calculated the Historic 18-foot skiff race results and written the weekly Race Report, all of which are published on the SFS website each week. Sound easy? It’s not. It requires accuracy and dedication to the task.
From all the sailors and Club members who take a close interest in the sailing activities of the SFS, thank you for performing this task, Bob.
