The TT team. 2 COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT DAY To celebrate the end of a long, hot and Smokey summer, all Tableland residents (whether long term, new, permanent or part-time) are invited to join together for a day on the oval devoted to “community”. Date: Sunday 8th March, commencing at 2.30pm Location: Strathbogie Recreation Reserve During a recent meeting conversations centred around the number of new people that have made the Tableland their home and wouldn’t it be nice to reach out to them. It was thought that by doing this we could not only become acquainted with each other but we could introduce them to all the groups and activities that are available to them in the area. So, what better way to achieve this than: “Let’s have a Community afternoon tea and old fashion family sports day” The aim of the day is to meet and make welcome all the new people in the area and showcase all the clubs, committees and activities that are available on the Tableland and to have some fun and games on the oval including a CFA tug-of-war. The afternoon will commence with Devonshire tea served in the pavilion. Most of the activities (that we know about – there are probably a number that we don’t) will be represented on the day. You can find out what they do, when they meet, how to become involved, etc. You might like to: *Learn about Australian plants *Provide support (other than financial) to our wonderful CFA, with or without fire fighting involvement *Join the choir *Find out about Bogarts – Strathbogie’s talented group of artists *Check out the Golf Club *Discover more about our great local foods through SCOFF *See some examples of what our committees (STAG, Hall, Rec and Landcare) have achieved ……… plus lots more If there is something you are interested in that isn’t being catered for, this will be the opportunity to discover others with a similar interest. You can round off the day with a glass of wine or local beer (at bar prices) with complimentary cheese and nibbles. If you are involved in an activity and haven’t been contacted about this day, please let us know if you would like to be involved. Contacts for the day are: > Kim Usher (re afternoon tea) [email protected] 0439 468 906 > Angela Tough (re games on the oval) [email protected] 0425 814 228 > Helen Peters (re community groups) [email protected] 0427 380 662 Violet Town Football & Netball Club As some of you would know, 2020 is the 125th year of Football and Netball in Violet Town.
