Tickets are $5 each and can be purchased on Saturday October 5, 19 and 26 outside March’s IGA Tocumwal between 9am and 1pm.
This is a fantastic fundraiser for the Optimists, so make sure you get your tickets.
The Optimists High Tea at the Murray Border Flying Club is now sold out after an overwhelming response from the community.

Thomas the Tank Engine and friends will be back at the Tocumwal Railway Heritage Museum this Saturday between 10am and 3pm for the school holidays.
Entry is $5 for adults, but children are free.
See Thomas and his friends go round and round the 20 year-old train set, watch classic episodes of the popular children's show, and explore the beautiful history of the spectacular town and its railway.
Please remember, on the orders of Sir Topham Hatt, children are not to touch the trains. You may only touch the switches indicated to control where they go or to halt them.
The train set belongs to one of the volunteers at the Museum and is at least 20 years old.
