The Mandalay Newsletter September 2004

 

Our association has just turned thirty and we feel that’s a good reason for a celebration.
The date set is Saturday evening of October 30th and the venue is our central park.
 

The format is a picnic in the park where you take your own food and refreshments and we provide everything else with the help of our sponsors.
 

We intend to make this the best event of its type we have ever staged, so mark the date in your diary.
 

All we ask is that you take your empties and rubbish home with you. There are not enough bins in the park to cater for events of this size and we have to leave the park clean and tidy. We usu-ally have committee members and willing residents cleaning up the park the following morning but usually there is very little to clean up. We thank you for that. Please help us out again by leaving nothing behind when you leave.
 

One last request. Please stay clear of the fireworks area before, during and after the display. Our displays are very safe provided this simple request is adhered to.


Annual membership fees are now due and a membership form and envelope are attached.
 

It would help us enormously if you could either post your membership de-tails and cheque for $10 per family to the address stated or drop the form and money in the locked letterbox at that address.
Strong membership allows us to work on behalf of the local community. It also helps us fund community events such as our picnic in the park.
 

As part of our anniversary celebration we are reprinting the booklet “In Search of a Remarkable Fig Tree” and hopefully it will be available at our picnic in the park.
 

This excellent publication gives a history of the area and is the result of some extensive research by Malcolm Garrett, Noel Kahler and Rosemary Allen. It was produced by our association as part of our contribution to the Australian Bicentenary Celebration in 1988. There will be a small charge for the booklets to cover the cost of printing.
See you in the park, weather willing on October 30th.
 

 

Warren Fletcher
President.
