There are two seats available on the bus. Permis-

Dunoon during the day as we will be at The Chan-

Half Day Holiday—Lismore Cup. Thursday 20th September 12 noon.

A decision was made by Lismore Council to declare a half day public holiday on Thursday 20

September 2018 for the Lismore Cup. As this has been gazetted by the NSW Minister for Indus-

trial Relations under the Public Holidays Act of 2010, the public holiday applies to all employees

working within the Lismore Local Council Area. Since January 2012, new provisions of the Public

Holidays Act 2010 have applied to Local Public Holidays and schools cannot be excluded from

locally gazetted public holidays for race days. Therefore, all primary and high schools in the Lis-

more town boundary will be non-operational from 12 noon on Thursday, 20 September, 2018.

As the public holiday commences at 12 noon, it is important for all families to make arrangements

to collect their children by no later than 11.30 am on Thursday 20 September 2018.

G & N advised NO BUS PICK—UP AT MIDDAY

Kitchen Garden Mondays 8.30am. All

are welcome to help. You can also pop

down for 5 minutes of weeding any time.

We are still looking for clean tin cans

(baked bean tin size). Please make sure

cans are clean when dropped off and

please no fish cans. Thank you. Lyndell

Congratulations!
