I hope you all had a joyful and relaxing Easter break. It was wonderful to see so many people enjoying the Forbes outdoors over the long weekend.
The long weekend also saw our new Driver Reviver van open for all our visitors at Victoria Park. I would like to thank the volunteers with Forbes Lions and CWA for making sure everyone was caffeinated for their travels over the weekend.
It is important to schedule regular breaks when driving long distances to ensure you arrive safely to your destination.
This week we are hosting the Country Mayors Association forum from Sunday 7th to Tuesday 9th April. I am excited to welcome mayors from all around NSW to our beautiful town for this event. It is such an opportunity to be able to showcase the projects we are working on to this diverse group, and I am looking forward to further developing the strong relationships I already have with my fellow Mayors.
Coming up very soon are a few weeks of events for young people in our town for Youth Week and the school holidays.
Tickets are available for the drive-in movie at Forbes ski dam on Friday 12th April at 123tix. There is also a comedy workshop on Sunday 14th silent disco on the 19 th , creative community concepts on Monday 22 nd and ice skating on the 27 th. For more information on any of these events you can contact Council on 6850 2300 or youth@forbes.nsw.gov.au or head to Council’s website for the full program and registration.
Until next week, God bless
Phyllis Miller, OAM – Forbes Mayor
