Reminder: Community Social this Saturday 12 November

Halloween might be over for 2022, but all the really creepy people will be out and about this Saturday night 12th November for the annual ‘Monsters and Mayhem on the Mountain’ Social at the Community Hall.

All the usual ‘Paluma Protocols’ will apply.

  1. Start time is 6.30 pm.
  2. Bring a plate of food to share – anything and everything goes.
  3. Bar will be open for low-cost beverages.
  4. Sense of community spirit and good humour are essential.

Come as you are, or come dressed to the theme as your favourite horror story. Everyone is welcome and let’s face it……some of us won’t even have to dress up!

Paluma Rural Fire Brigade will again be hosting a book stall at the Paluma Community Market this weekend (Sunday 2nd October) to raise funds for the Brigade.

Just imagine what you could do with all that emptied space……………perhaps room for some new books??????

Many thanks

Calling All Paluma Volunteer Bakers……..Again!

The next Paluma Community Market is fast approaching this coming Sunday 2nd October and we are again calling for Paluma’s amazing cooks and kitchen goddesses to donate some baked goods to sell for community (PDCA) fund raising.

If you can donate some baked goods for sale that would be greatly appreciated. Charlie has kindly volunteered to run the stall for this market.

Here’s what to do:-

  1. Please divide your baked goods into small batches for sale (we suggest batches of 4 to 6 individual pieces as this worked well at the previous market).
  2. Please plate the goods (in batches) and secure with glad wrap or suitable packaging. (We used paper plates last time and plastic glad wrap and this worked well).
  3. Please add a sticker or other suitable label outlining the contents of your baked goods. You will need to add this label to EVERY individual batch of goods. (This is required for health & safety reasons).
  4. Please add a price sticker to your goods, with what you think is a fair and reasonable price for your baked delights.
  5. Please deliver your goods to the Community Hall on Sunday morning 2 October by 8.30 AM.

If you have any questions or need any further information, please contact Lynn Hyland by phone or email:- leshyland@icloud.com

Please donate some goods if you can and apologies for the very late notice this time. Better late than never they say!
