Inspirations Paint Five Dock – Returning Silver Sponsor
Please join me in welcoming back our generous Silver Sponsor Inspirations Paint Five Dock. Alfio and Katia Arlotta joined us as sponsors last summer and have graciously decided to support the club again this season.
Please show your appreciation to Alfio and Katia by utilising their services and purchasing your painting supplies from their store on Lyons Road near Brent Street.
Keep an eye out for Alfio at the pool this summer – Alfio is a keen tennis player but we’re trying to get him to join us for some some laps.
