AusRFS Annual General Meeting

Sunday 28th March, 2021

A reminder to members to RSVP for our AGM. We don’t know until closer to the date if we will have to restrict numbers, so we are noting RSVPs in order of receipt in case we have we have to make a cut off. So please email asap to secure your spot.

There will reports on all aspects of the club, election of committee and voting, as well as the opportunity for members to raise any topic for discussion. After the meeting we will enjoy a BBQ lunch and general rat chat. Members can also meet the rats currently with our Rescue Service. As always members are encouraged to bring their ratties so they can socialise too.
