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 knock again!
The total fire ban has been lifted but, we are so dry at the moment that it would take very little to set off a decent fire. Not something that anyone wants. Please be careful when using power tools and lawn mowers just in case a spark sets off a fire in your back yard.
The Craft Group has moved to the Lost Fawn Cafe. 10am start. No charge, just buy your own coffee and something to eat. Bring your crafts and enjoy some crafting time with a group of like minded ladies.
Save your cash for containers bottles. Springbrook State Schools P&C will be doing an old fashioned bottle drive as their October Fundraiser. More details to come, just save the bottles!

The Springbrook Seed Bank is looking for helpers for their seed packing days. Our seed bank is a dynamic bank with seeds going in and out all the time rather than just being stored for the Zombie Apocalypse. Seeds are being distributed through the pacing days and also through the garden club days. To get involved with this important initiative, contact Dee on dee.kempson@gmail.com and she will fill you in with the rest of the details.
The Springbrook Community Library is inviting residents to create Book Nooks to place on their front fences for the residents of Springbrook to come and browse books at. They can be any shape, size and colour that you desire. They just need to be able to hold books and keep them dry and safe. You can register them as official street libraries if you like. Lynne is happy to keep an eye on the books and to rotate and tidy up the book nooks each week as part of her community librarian duties. Be part of the Springbrook book nook book lovers community and build a book nook. You know they will come!
Tuck Shop is coming to the school next term! You can order from the Lost Fawn on a Tuesday for Wednesday lunch and from Dancing Waters for a Friday lunch. Contact each cafe for prices and menus.
Our local Mens Shed exists for the wellbeing of our mountain men. They do many things there but they are not a place to drop off your broken goods for repair. If you know an individual who goes to the shed, he may be able to help you with a project but please do not drop in and bring things that need fixing. It's not what the shed is for. We have lots of local handy men who would be happy to help you with your handy man needs!
If water is a real problem for you on the mountain at the moment, dont forget you can do your washing down at the laundromats in Nerang and Mudgeerabah. If you're looking for water saving measures, check out this website for some good tips.

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???
