BIoBlitz starts next Friday doing flora and fauna surveys, right here in Springbrook. Not much left in the way of surveys but there a group of stalls next weekend up at Koonjewarre. Details to come. 

 Springbrook Garden Club meet at the Mens Shed next Sunday, 2pm to 4pm for their last meeting of the year. All welcome. Bring a plate to share, cuttings, produce, seeds etc! 

 Be warned, school stops mid week on Wednesday December 9th to give our teachers an extra few days as a thank you for going above and beyond during the lock downs! 

 Looking for Christmas Presents? Buy local! Gems, Fudge, jams, sauces, kim chi, clothes, toys, card, art, honey - theres quite a bit sitting in our cafe shops. Check them out before you head off the hill! 

 There will he lots of cars on the roads up here over Christmas so start getting your "Its Christmas time on the mountain" attitude on and just know everything will take bit longer to get everywhere over the holidays. 

 Our informal groups still plan to operate over the holidays mostly, most of the time. Check with each group and know what their plans are and when the formal groups break for 2020 and reconvene in 2021. 

 Christmas letterbox decorating is definitely happening! Make them Merv friendly and break out the baubles. Have fun being festive this year. It's been a long one! S

Springbrook Voices should start their deliveries any time now. The volunteers got their piles yesterday and should deliver them over the next few days. Be patient. It's another 40 page bumper issue with so much local content. We really have some amazing contributors here on the mountain as you'll see when your copy arrives!

 Feel free to contribute to our community pages, notices and daily reminders anytime by emailing the details of your function, event, workshop or community info to secretary @smca.com.au and well let Springbrook know what's happening! 

 Stay safe. Slow down. Enjoy living on Springbrook!

Remember theres a bike race down near the Dam entrance 8am to 1pm today. Looks like Latimers Crossing Rd is shut and parts of Gilston and Nerang-Murwillumbah Roads will be under Police stop/go. The website says 15 minute delays if you're heading that way. 

The Springbrook Remembrance Day Service to celebrate Armistice Day will be on Wednesday, November 11th, starting at 10.45am. All locals are welcome to attend. Morning tea afterwards at the Fire Shed. 

 It would be lovely to see poppies up on Letterboxes on Wednesday to mark Remembrance Day, the Armistice and the end of World War One. A simple way to show your support and thanks for the folk who have kept Australia safe. 

 The SMCA will attempt to hold the quickest AGM ever in the hall on Wednesday night. Each year, we carefully sort out our meeting dates so we don't clash with the State of Origin, but 2020 defeated us. We need 15 people to show up. We'll start at 7pm and promise to let you go at 8pm, if not before. Just formalities. No frills. No frivolity. See you there!

Have you seen Cane Toads on the mountain this year??? WaterGum ate selling traps and bait to catch these menaces and both are available from WaterGums offices at Parklands Country Paradise in Nerang. Check their website for lots of information about cane toads and what you can do about them!

Check out the social media accounts for our local business and groups. Theres a great buy, sell and swap one in facebook, great stuff coming from the explorespringbrook instagram account and lots of our cafes and shops operate accounts letting us know what is happening in their world. Stay in the loop and like these accounts and support our local business!

Springbrook School is now collecting plastic bottle tops and toothbrushes to be recycled into new and exciting things. Collected them up (give them a bit of a rinse) and drop them off at the school gate on Friday mornings between 8.30am and 9am. It would be great if the cafes could set aside a bucket to collect them as well and help divert landfill back into a useful life! 

Theres another one day silent yoga retreat at the hall this Saturday. 10am to 3pm and it's the perfect way to disconnect from the world and reconnect with yourself! Lots of info and bookings at www.karaswift.com.au.

 Springbrook Voices Committee meeting, 11am on Saturday November 24th. Location to be confirmed.

Ladies Lunch week! Friday November 14th 11.30am. Location to be confirmed.

Springbrook School P&C Election Day BBQ and Bake Sale, at the school yesterday was a wonderful success! Thanks to all you Springbrookians who turned up, bought bacon and egg rolls, sausages on bread and wiped out the home baked goodies! The P&C is thrilled with the amount they made and love the people who had had breakfast, were on a diet or on their way out but made a cash donation anyway. The way Springbrook supports it's own is great to see. Feel free to drop a donation direct to the school if you missed out yesterday!

The Springbrook Community Library will be on this Wednesday, 10am to 2pm in the hall. Natalie is happy to read stories to any kids who come along at any time. We've had lots of donations recently (Thanks Eva) so theres some new books for you to browse!

Who saw the under ground tanks go in to the new amenities block this week? Amazing stuff! Can wait to see what happens next. We'll check with Blake, the site foreman and see if we can get a date and time for the next round of things to watch out for!

Who enjoyed the decorated letterboxes this week? Lots of fun and some very creative people live up here. Letterbox decorating is a low key way to connect with the whole community. Melbourne Cup next week, what chippy, horsey ideas do you have?  Remembrance Day is coming up on November 11th. It would be nice to see the poppies out on letterboxes again for that one!

The first Tuesday of the month is the day to join up with the SES. They meet in the SES shed every Tuesday for training at 7pm. Mostly hands on but with all the normal paperwork stuff in the first few weeks, the training nights involve dummy, ropes, stretchers and cups of tea. Come along and check them out this Thursday. Only another month or so of training before they break for the Christmas Holidays so this is a good week to get involved!

Remembrance Day is not far away. Wednesday, November 11th at 11am. Remember Armistice Day by attending a small ceremony at the Cenotaph if you can.

Melbourne Cup next week, Tuesday November 3rd. Any events planned? Any Cafes doing a Melbourne Cup lunch for locals? Let us know!
