Springbrook Community Notices

Its Market Day down in Numinbah today! Pop on your gum boots and come for a wander and check out the stalls.  Jumping castle and face painting for the kids. Breakfast burgers and hashbrowns for breakfast. Great Sunday morning for the whole family!

Not keen on social media but want to stay in the loop? Try looking at the My Springbrook webpage. It's a copy of the daily community activities that appear on our Instagram and facebook pages. On Sundays it also has a much more comprehensive list of notices and information as well as the weekly, "This week in Springbrook".

If you want to add your voice to this push to get some funding, get online and sign the petition and let's see if we can get a win for people power.

Storm season is just around the corner  which for us here on Springbrook means cut off roads and lots of power cuts. Now that you've got your fire plan sorted, it's a good time to look at your storm plan. Check you have enough medication, water, food, communications and lighting to get you through a couple of unexpected days with out power. Remember last years 3 day outage after a 30 minute storm just before Christmas?

Dont forget to take the SES tags that the Police put off your letter boxes and rural numbers. Would be very confusing if they had to door to door knock again!

We have been given a spot again on the tour of the Festival of Small Halls. Our date is Saturday December 14th, the day after school breaks up.

If you are interested in being the featured artist on the night, please express your interest by emailing the secretary on secretary@smca.org.au
