What's on in April/May/June

The next three months will continue a busy schedule for Optimists. Thankfully your Optimist needs nothing more than a rinse and a polish from time to time. Some of us remember the days of wood, sanding, preparing, varnishing and painting! Unless you're a traditionalist, I for one am pleased those days are behind us.
