Springbrook Community Notices

 

The school holidays are now upon us along with the confusion of a two week Sydney lockdown. Lots of accommodation cancellations and confusion around. Keep an eye on your favourite media outlet to keep up to date with border restrictions as well.

 Not a lot happening up here on the hill for us locals during the school holidays. Great time to think about an event, group, workshop or session that you'd like to run. Hall bookings are only $13 per hour. Call 0413979291 to make your booking. 

 Ever thought of joining the SES? They are looking for new recruits and this week is the week to pop in and see what its all about and join up if you like it. It's a great crowd of people and some really interesting and varied work and training! 

 The Springbrook Community Library will be open on Wednesday at the hall from 2pm to 4pm. Please come and check out our freshly sorted library. Lots of novels and recent releases. Lots of great holiday reading!

 Lots of environmental websites about Springbrook are out there on the net. If you are into the environment,  these websites could be helpful. Many of them have social media pages too. Save our Waterfalls, Springbrook Wildlife Appreciation Group, Save our Springbrook, Cableway No way, WaterGum, Wild Care Australia, QPWS. 

 The Springbrook Craft group will continue during the holidays, 10am, each Wednesday at the Fudge Shop. Just drop in with your project and join in! 

 Springbrook Mens Shed welcomes local blokes of all ages to it regular Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday morning openings. Just pop in and say hi. Shed opens 9am. Cuppa about 10.30am.

 As we move into the school holidays, the influx of visitors to the mountain all day every day means we need to slow down a bit and keep an eye out for people who dont know our roads as well as we do! 

 Stay safe. Stay warm.

 The fire in Numinbah is still burning under the watchful gaze of the NVRFB and QPWS. They'll let us know if we need to know anything. Lots of Winter burn offs and cold air creating the smoke inversion that we see. Check out the views from our lookouts. 

 Last week of school! Get your library books back on Monday! Also, find out what the crazy thing is for Thursday and someone tell Ness! 

 Community Cuppa is on THURSDAY this week, 10.30am at Dancing Waters Cafe. Everyone welcome. Bring the babies too, we all like a cuddle! 

 AA meetings are not being held at the hall for the time being. Please check out meetings on the Coast if you are looking for one. 

 The Waste/wheelie bin/ tip issue is still ongoing. Get yourself educated on the greater picture. Check out councils website, start composting your food scraps and recycle as well as you can. Kudos to the airbnb's that offer a composting bucket. You've got the right idea! 

 The hall is available for bookings for private gatherings, kids birthday parties, meetings, workshops and other community gatherings. Book via springbrookhall@gmail.com 

 Our Winter drought is starting to have an effect. Hard to imagine we need to check our tank levels after all that Summer rain! But it might pay to get into your tank tapping routine sooner rather than later. It's about $400 a load if you have to get it carted in...

 Winter is the perfect time to book an evening in the Springbrook Observatory. Brilliant clear skies. Lots to see. Wrap up really warm! 

 Micheal has found a new home and is really grateful to live in the supportive community of Springbrook. He has been very appreciative of all the kind and generous things people have done to help him out after the fire. Call him and book him for some work today! 

 Stay safe. Get involved
