It is great to see some of the many projects we have happening in our town hitting milestones in their development. If you have driven past Spooner Oval recently you would have seen the structural steel of its new grandstand going up. This marks a significant milestone in the project, and we will now start seeing the rest of this facility take shape, including the exterior of the building, interior fit outs and the installation of the seats. The project is on track to be completed by September this year and is going to be literally game-changer for sport in Forbes once it’s done.
We are pleased to be a partner in the Rural Adversity Mental Health Program event on Wednesday 26 February at the Forbes Rugby Club. The aim of this event is to check in with our community on how we are tracking two years after the floods.
Come along and have a chat to the services attending and get a free blood pressure and glucose check.
We have our Welcome to Forbes event the next day on Thursday 27 February at the Vandenberg Hotel. This is for all new residents of Forbes and is a great chance to get to know your councillors, other new residents, local community groups and sporting organisations. Welcome to Forbes events are lovely occasions as we really enjoy welcoming new people to town.
We will be celebrating International Women’s Day on Saturday 8 March with a breakfast at Lions Park. We are excited to announce we will have two inspirational guest speakers – Kelly Foran and Belinda Mawhinney. Kelly is the founder and CEO of Friendly Faces Helping Hands, which helps rural families through health crises, and Belinda is a leadership consultant who strives to improve workplace culture. It’s sure to be another inspiring occasion – make sure to book your ticket! Please see our website for details about all these events.
God Bless,
