The book will be on sale at the UpMarkets in
Cooke Park tonight; the Parkes Leagues Club on Thursday, 8th December from 5 to 8pm; in front of Westpac Bank on Friday, 16th December from 4 to 6pm and again on Saturday, 17th December from 9am to 1pm. Or you can order a book from Haylee on 6861 3003 or haylee.pottage@northparkes.com
