POSTPONED – due to snap 3 day Perth Lockdown

Regrettably due to the snap 3 day lockdown in Perth, we will have to postpone our planned (Tues 27 April) WA car wash gathering.

Even if it is only a 3-day lockdown (and not extended) it is highly likely there will still be some restrictions and our group would not be able to gather onsite or at the pub afterwards.

We will reschedule and advise as soon as possible.

For more information please contact Fiona at the ACWA Office by email to contact@acwa.net.au or mobile 0400070417
