Our Social Club is busy as ever. Trivia and bingo in the evening, plus cards, craft, darts and table tennis during the day, are all popular.

The library continues to expand , and is one of the most used resources in the Village. It’s current popularity is no doubt higher due to the cooler weather … a great time to enjoy reading in the the sunshine on the veranda or curl up at night in front of the heater with a good book. We will be visiting the Rotary Club Book Fair again to source even more books – if we can fit in any more bookshelves!

The ladies craft group enjoy both their craft and the social chat. Knitting is popular at the moment, some knitting for charitable causes, others busy making jumpers for the grandchildren. Lots of swapping of patterns and teaching of new skills. The wealth of talent and creativity of the group is evidenced by the beautiful patchwork wall hangings which the group made for the library walls.

The vegetable garden continues to operate and the gardeners produce a good supply of vegetables for their own needs. . Those not participating in the garden, however, were finding vegetable costs rising, and so a cooperative bulk buying venture has been tried. Sourced locally, the non-profit co-operative group buy vegies in bulk and have invited the whole Village to participate in the co-operative. It is proving very popular and a great way for everyone to save money.
