Let's try and keep the Emporium tidy. It would be a shame to lose it now. Communication about the furniture pod opening times seems to have come to a halt. Might be best to take large items down the hill for the time being...

Drop in and see Damo if you can today. He would love a visit! 

Stay safe. Slow 🐌 down.

Good to see the Emporium being so well patronised! Great to see people taking responsibility and keeping it sorted and tidied! Go Springbrook! 

The car at Hardys lookout is a problem with tourists stopping to check it. Feel free to contact Council and ask for it to be removed. The more complaints they get about it, the sooner they will move it! 

Too many accidents on our roads this year already. PLEASE slow down. 

Australia Day is coming up. Let's see what you can do with your letterbox. What inflatable will Hazel come up with this time?! 

Waitangi Day is on a Sunday this year. How about all the mountain Kiwis get together at the Settlement? Who want to organise a bit of a hui with our whanau and a few DB'S in the chillybin, a guitar, jandles on our feet and some kai for our puku's? 

Remember to put up notices on our tip noticeboard. It's a wonderful place to advertise things on! 

Pull in your Wheelie Bins. Leaving them out is a great indicator for the bad guys that you're not home! 

P&C meeting scheduled for Feb 10th at 8.30am. Pop it in your diary! 

Stay safe. Be kind.

The Car at Hardys lookout has spent a second night up here on the side of the road. We will try and get some Police aware stickers on it today and hopefully it will take less than 6 months to get moved.  

Just skimming back through the photos and reports, looks like we've had five accidents on our roads so far this year... Thats one every two days. Don't meet our Emergency Crews by accident please...

Hoping to get hold of council and get the Furniture Pod opened this week so we can all release the pressure of our rainy day cleaning up activities. Seriously, apart from Netflix what else is there to do?

If you want to book the hall for any event, class, workshop or group, give Kara a call on 0413 979 271 and make your booking today. 

Voices deadline in a month, or so. Just thought we'd flag it early!

Good website for new Springbrookians. Lots of useful information www.lovespringbrook.blogspot.com

Springbrook Markets are on today!!! At the Fudge Shop on the grass, it's a great opportunity to get hand made local presents right here on the mountain! Drop down and say hi and grab a sausage from the sizzle as well! 10am to 3pm! 

💝 Please be kind this week, especially to our business owners. We are all trying to muddle along in these strange and confusing times. We can still enjoy relationships, find way to meet and gather together without making others feel bad. We've always been a community of diverse and divisive people but we are a community that can stick together. Let's have our opinions and respect others who have different ones. It's Christmas and we are Springbrookians, lucky to be living in the best little village in the world! 💚 🌎 

All our cafes have takeaway options and have been really quiet this week. Drop in and say 👋 this week. Next week the chaos begins! 

You HAVE to visit the Gem Shop this week. If you are looking for some reasonably priced but really cool gifts, then this is the place to visit. We heard even Santa shops there! 💎 

The road side stalls have something for everyone and it's worth the trip around them all for your Christmas Shopping! There's everything from lip balms to scrubs, smudge sticks and incense, tea and dried herbs, clothes, jewellery sauces, jams, pickle, Kim Chi and soooooo much more! Get thee to a Springbrook Road side stall today. There's a list in Springbrook Voices if you don't know where they are! 

The week before Christmas has been quieter than expected on the roads (to the delight if the volunteer ambos 🎉) but traditionally, we pick up on Boxing Day and things go mad. Make the most of the peace and quiet. It won't be for much longer...

Most of our groups have finished up for the Christmas Break but if yours are still going, make sure we know so that we can go tell it on the mountain 🎶 (You're showing you age if you know that song! 😉)

If you are new to the mountain, welcome! Join in and get involved. You'll soon get to know us (and 💚 us!) Have a look at this website for lots of local info www.lovespringbrook.blogspot.com 

Be kind.

Last Ladies Lunch of the year this Friday 12pm at the Springbrook Cafe and Bar. All ladies welcome. Bring your kids, wear your Christmas bring have some fun! 

It's the last few days of Janine and Mark at the Sitting Room!? Make sure you drop in and say goodbye as they are off to spend more time with family. Tuesday is their last day open to the public... 😔

Next Springbrook Markets are next weekend, Sunday December 19th. Great chance to get some local gifts from some of our talented locals! Stalls only $10. Talk to Java at the Fudge Shop if you are after a stall! 

Cleaner needed for 4 hours on a Monday for an older couple near Purling Brook. If you're interested, call Christa on 0411 339 765

Please be respectful to the Springbrook Voices deliverers! One of these lovely people was abused and allegedly videoed while delivering our wonderful local newspaper yesterday. A bit of over the top behaviour for doing a community service. Very un- Springbrookian. 😔

Both the Springbrook Cafe and Bar are looking for staff for the Christmas Holidays and beyond. If you're interested, drop in and chat to them! 

Have you checked out the Christmas lights around the place? The Springbrook cafes and Bar on Forestry Road has a good set up and so do the residents at 2279 SB Rd. Make the effort to enjoy them after dark some time soon! 

Mini yoga, pilates, gong shower and forest walk retreat today, starting 10am at the Hall. Talk to Tanja if you want to know more! 

Most community groups are wrapping up for Christmas now and will start back up in the New Year, check your copy of Voices for our usual compliment of groups and activities so you know what you'll be doing next year! 

Keep an eye on our school and any empty houses over the Christmas break. Springbrook will be filled with people visiting and not all have come to look at the beauty of the bush, but to look for unlocked doors and opportunities... Get your neighbours numbers and watch out for lurking strangers...

It goes without saying, the roads will be a nightmare for the next six weeks. Take it super easy on the roads! 

Stay safe. Get involved
