Isaac Butterfield: The New Normal
After a sold-out world tour in 2019, Australia’s favourite bearded son Isaac Butterfield returns with a new show written over two years of lockdowns, protests and change giving us The New Normal.
This show contains some of the most offensive jokes that you’ll ever hear; if you do not enjoy offensive comedy, then this is simply not for you.
The show will be held at Riverlinks from 8pm to 10pm.

Bowel scan kits
With regret we advise that bowel scan kits will not be available this year during May from the Tatura Pharmacy. The good news is they will be available from the Rotary website, www.rotarybowelscan.com — with more and more people using the web these days this will not present a problem.
More than 1000 kits have already been ordered in Victoria through the site. Early detection is vital for a successful outcome from this disease and we encourage people to avail themselves of this service. The price of kits is $22 including postage. Tatura Rotary Club would like to thank the Tatura and Murchison pharmacies for supporting Rotary in this initiative for many years.
