October Working Bee

This Saturday on the 7th, we will be shifting the truck load of mulch, that our council supplied free of charge, into the gardens and under the trees in our Paluma Pioneers Memory park. It’s quite a lovely grove these days.

The working bee will start at 2pm with everyone meeting up at the hall first. Bring a wheel barrow, shovels and a hardy rake if you have them. The best tool in the shed however is you… so do please bring yourself to the fray (even if you haven’t any of the gear) and enjoy burning up a few calories with fellow enthusiasts.
Drinks are on afterwards!!!
Thanks
Wilfred

Call for un-needed books for RFS book stall at Community Markets

The Paluma RFS brigade will have their second-hand book stall at the market this coming Sunday. We need to refresh our stock of second-hand books, especially good novels, fiction and non-fiction. We should be home all week so feel free to drop them at our place opposite the hall.

Give me ring if you want to discuss further.

Reminder: Paluma Community Markets, Sunday Oct. 1st 9am-1pm

Our next Community Market is just over a week away. There will be a range of locally produced ornamental and edible items available for purchase as well as our sausage sizzle and cold drinks. If you forget to bring cash Wilfred of one of the PDCA executive will be able to take your credit card and provide small amounts of cash uisng our eftpos machine.


This is also a call-out for Paluma’s amazing cooks to donate some baked goods to sell for community (PDCA) fund raising.

If you are interested in doing some baking and donating your goods for sale at the Easter Market then please read on…..

Here’s what to do:-

  1. Please divide your baked goods into small batches for sale. We suggest batches of 2, 4 or 6 individual pieces as this has worked well at previous markets.
  2. Please plate the goods (in batches) and secure with glad wrap or suitable packaging. (We have previously used paper plates and glad wrap and this works 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 at 8.30 AM (for a 9 am market start).

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

Previous cake stalls have been a great success.

Spring clean at Star Valley lookout

Last Saturday, Sept 2nd, three keen workers joined Wilfred and did a lot of hard work cutting back the vegetation at Star Valley lookout to ensure it wasn’t getting too overgrown. Visitors (and locals) can now enjoy the view over the ranges. When was the last time you stopped for a look out over Star Valley?

Our community working bees are usually held on the first Saturday of the month.

Removal of the vegetation overgrowth by the working bee team has got to be seen to be appreciated! Many thanks to the September working bee team.
