How disappointing was it to wake up on Monday morning and see the damage to our beloved Gaggin oval? The fields were looking amazing again after last year’s flooding. If you know anything or have any information contact Crimestoppers on 1800 333 000 or Forbes Police on 6853 9999.
Damage such as this is so costly – in emotions, in costs of redirecting staff and funds for repairs, and the effects on the various sporting and community groups that use these facilities.
At the moment there are range of career and job opportunities available at Council closing this Sunday and another recruitment campaign with many project, capital and major road repairs works being undertaken. At a time when the cost of living is climbing, a job at Council offers so much – security, attractive wages, opportunities for career advancement, most positions are for a nine-day working fortnight, and flexible work schedules/school hours will be considered for excellent local candidates. More information is on Council’s website.
The cooler months are upon us, definitely time to retire the shorts and whip out the winter woollies. Speaking of cold – have you bought your tickets to Frost and Fire yet? I can’t wait for this annual celebration of winter and the solstice, for the fantastic entertainment and the chance to catch up with family and friends. All the details are on the Amazing Facebook page.
Finally, I wish all our mothers – past, present and future – a happy Mother’s Day for Sunday.
Enjoy your weekend, and God bless.
Phyllis Miller, OAM
