ATT: Bellingen mentors

Hi everyone and thanks again for your time today. Just a reminder, classes will run between 10am & 2.30pm Tuesdays from next week (24 July) at the Bellingen Golf Club. If you have any questions please contact me at kgrace@evolvenetwork.com.au or phone Macksville campus of TAFE on 65692000.

in the meantime think about this:

See you soon,
