FEBRUARY 2013 The Town Crier -

The last section or stage of the new Shareway should now have been completed in time for the new school year!Congratulations and thank you to everyone involved, for the feedback, the advice, the funds and the enthusiasm – it was a great example of a community working together for a great result – not just for the school community but for the elderly, parents with prams, walkers and cyclists – particularly the younger ones.With this section fi nalised there is now another completed “circuit” for our community. Victoria Street to Albany Lane along to the railway station. People can then go on up Alexandra Street to Victoria Street and on to Queen Street and beyond.Our next Project is to complete a “fi ll in” – along Victoria Street from Alexandra Street to Albany Street. This connects to the existing pathway on Victoria Street from Albany Street

to the school and beyond – completing a full circuit. The Tracks to the Future Sub Committee of the Berry Alliance would like to thank the Council, the Berry Public School and P&C, le Tour de Berry, Berry Community Activities Centre, members of the Tracks to the Future Committee and le Tour de Berry organising group and everyone who has got behind these projects.

ARE YOUPLANING TO

TRAVEL?

LET ME BRING THE WORLD TO YOU.

I’ve been in the travel industry for more than 22 years and traveled to more than 30 countries. With TravelManagers I now have the opportunity to share my experience, knowledge and love of travel on a far more personal level. My goal is to ensure that every one of my clients enjoys a tailor made holiday that not only meets but far exceeds their expectations.

So what’s a personal travel manager? Essentially I’m a mobile travel consultant with the fl exibility to meet with you at a time and place that’s convenient to you, 7 days a week. This means I can help plan, facilitate and book your next holiday at your home, offi ce, via phone or email and even over a latte at a local coffee shop. It’s similar to a mobile mortgage lender except that I’m looking after your holiday.

As your personal Travel Manager I have access to the best holiday and travel deals. I can book every element of your holiday from fl ights and accommodation to transfers, cruises, tours and travel insurance.

I’m really looking forward to becoming your personal travel manager and helping you to plan the holiday of a lifetime.

2013 was a happy but a very busy year. We look back on street stalls, fund raising activities, Land Cookery Competitions, and so on. Just a dip into the hive of the busy bees of Berry CWA. One result from the Wollondilly Group Land Cookery Competition was Marie De La Torre’s success in having her Madeira Cake posted 1st . So now she will be once again making this cake to enter the State competition in Griffi th where the State Conference will be held in May. In the main, Berry CWA has been very successful in local competitions. Well done to all our excellent cooks! But let us be warned as the Berry Primary School’s “top notch” cooks stole the show at our Berry Branch Land Cookery Competition.During FEBRUARY, Jenny our International Offi cer attended an International School in Canberra where she discovered the mystery, intrigue, dress, food, desert and city life of the Botswana people who belong to this year’s Country of Study. These annual studies open our understanding of cultures other than our own. We are looking forward to Jenny’s report.

BERRY CWA 2014News

Two of our members visited the David Berry Hospital prior to Christmas and left a small gift and a smile or two to the folks there who are currently unable to visit Santa in town. We extend to them our love and best wishes for 2014.We ended our year on a very satisfactory note, indeed -lunch at the Pavilion. Good company was enjoyed along with good food, a great sense of camaraderie, and a very relaxing time refl ecting on a job well done. But there’s no time to rest as the Berry Show will soon be upon us and sandwich making and a stall to work on await us.Thank you for your support over the past year. May we wish you all the best for 2014? We would love for you to visit. Craft mornings, choir or our monthly meetings. Au revoir for now.Jean Stanfi eldPublicity Offi cer

Knitting NewsWe also knit and crochet rugs which are distributed world-wide by the Wraps with Love (WWL) organisation, based in Sydney. In 2013 we became a WWL Area Contact point and are happy to offer help to any who need assistance with rugs. Last year we sent off 35 completed rugs. As their motto says, We are knitting blankets for cold humanity.WWL now donates 30,000 wraps each year through bona fi de Aid Agencies who distribute them all over the world to areas of trauma and need. We were excited to learn that soon after the disastrous Cyclone Haiyan

struck the Philippines on 8 November, WWL were able to respond very quickly and by the end of the year over 2000 wraps had been delivered there.

Our meetings start for the year on 7th February and everyone is welcome to give our group a try. We assure you of a warm welcome. For more details contact Lyn (4464 3651) or Niesje (4464 2558)

If you are interested in knitting for others, then please join us at the Knit with Love meeting each Friday from 1 to 3pm in the Blue Room at St Luke’s Hall, 68 Princess Street. This past year we’ve made a mountain of goods; jumpers, beanies, scarves, soft toys and mittens for the needy of Eastern Europe, baby bonnets for tiny Bangladeshi babies born at LAMB Hospital in the north , colourful beanies for the street boys involved in the Retrak Program in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. We are told the brighter the colours in the beanie the better for these boys!

DESIGNING WOMENThe Australian Decorative and Fine Arts Society has pleasure in welcoming Dr Paul Atterbury BA to present our fi rst lecture for the New Year on March 6, 2014.

This lecture explores the personalities and creative contributions of generations of women designers who have changed the look of a business that hitherto had been dominated by men.

His lecture is entitled Designing Women. The ceramic industry in Britain has been dominated by women designers since the 1920s. Some, like Clarice Cliff or Susie Cooper, are household names while others are less known today. Nevertheless, their collective impact on the industry has been huge, creating styles for both tableware and decorative ceramics that have infl uenced the world.

Dr Atterbury has been an independent lecturer, writer, museum curator, tour guide and broadcaster for over thirty years. Initially a graphic designer, he worked in publishing and with magazines. Later, he trained as an art historian with a fascination for social history, specialising in the art, architecture and design of the 19th and 20th centuries. He has written books on ceramics, silver, design and antiques generally, along with many others on canals and railways. He has worked as an exhibition curator with the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, with institutions in New York, and has been a member for over twenty years of the team of experts on BBC TV’s Antiques Roadshow.

Dr Atterbury, who lives with his wife, Chrissie, in Dorset, has lectured to NADFAS societies all over Britain as well as in Belgium and the Netherlands. He has also lectured to ADFAS and DFAS societies in Australia and New Zealand. He and Chrissie are frequent visitors to Australia.

ADFAS lectures are diverse and interesting and are a great way of expanding our knowledge of the Arts, so do come along to the Berry School of Arts on Thursday March 6 at 7:30 pm for an excellent evening of entertainment followed by supper when you can chat to Dr Atterbury informally.

Youth Play for Berry Drama Group/Actors WantedBerry Drama Group is looking to put a play on in September for teenagers. The director will be Debra Davies who has directed Annie and Sound of Music for Nowra Anglican College. What we want to know now is how much interest is out there?No experience is needed and we will be looking for ages 15-18. So if you think this is something you would be interested in please email [email protected] fi nd us on Facebook. We will then be able to advise you of auditions that will take place in April and let you know the play we have chosen. Please let your friends know and pass on our email. We look forward to hearing from you.

Council to install Shoalhaven River fi shing platformShoalhaven City Council Mayor, Joanna Gash has welcomed a $25,000 funding grant from the Recreational Fishing Trust (NSW Department of Primary Industries) to provide a fi shing platform on a section of the Shoalhaven River bank.The platform will be erected on an already popular recreational fi shing spot located on Council owned land along the eastern end of Bolong Road.Mayor, Joanna Gash said the platform will provide local residents with increased fi shing opportunities while also protecting the bank from further erosion.“Council is certainly pleased to receive grant funding to assist in the provision of a fi shing platform along Bolong Road,” said Clr Gash.“The platform will not only provide local fi sherman with safer access to the Shoalhaven River but will assist in mitigating foreshore erosion.“Council will incorporate the provision of the platform into the current Council provided rock protection work.”“As a keen fi sherman I am certainly looking forward to trying my luck on this exciting new facility.”The project was planned in partnership with Riverwatch, Department of Primary Industries, local landholders and the Southern Rivers CMA.It is anticipated that work will begin in the fi rst quarter of 2014.Mayor, Joanna Gash said that funding applications will continue to be submitted to other programs in a bid to extend the rock protection both east and west from the project site.An extension of the rock wall would provide bank protection to a stretch of the Shoalhaven River identifi ed in the 2004 Foreshore Defi nition Study as a high risk erosion site.For information please contact Isabelle Ghetti, Manager Natural Resources and Floodplain Unit on 4429 3300.CONTACT: Mayor, Joanna Gash - 0427 160 172

Classes have now commenced on Thursday and Saturday afternoons from 1-3pm with new timeslots available on demand. Just bring along a project that you want to make and work at your own paceunder Barbara’s guidance.

Who’s Living on My Land: This last December there has been unusual activity in the bush around the Berry area. Camoufl aged infrared motion sensitive cameras have been photographing anything that moves nearby. This has been part of the “Who’s living on my land” Citizen Science Project. It has been initiated by the National Parks Association of NSW, a lead partner of the Great Eastern Ranges initiative.Throughout December, 10 landholders set up 13 cameras at sites between Broughton Vale and Moeyan Hill. Not surprisingly, the project found feral foxes and rabbits, but also showed a wonderful array of native fauna including Swamp Wallabies, Long nosed Bandicoots, Brushtail Possums, Echidnas, Lyrebirds, Gliders, Wombats and a wide range of birds including – Bowerbirds, Sparrowhawks, Green Catbirds and Purple Swamphens. This survey has revealed the great range of unseen native fauna that is out there in the local bush. Unfortunately it has also shown how many feral animals are there as well. The project is to continue in the Foxground and Saddleback areas. Photos show a Long nose Bandicoot and a Brushtail Possum family.

LANDCARE BERRYWeed of the Month:Moth Vine (Asclepidaceae): We have done this one before but now is the best time to attack this exotic climber. Its fl owers are white, corolla tube 15 mm long, upper petals turned out, slightly scented and are easily visible in the bush. The stalk can be traced down to its base which may be some distance from the visible climber. Pull out at the base making sure it does not break off leaving any roots in the ground. This is best done after rain when the ground is soft. If the base is not accessible then scrape and paint the stem. There is no need to remove the upper part as the fl owers need to develop into seedpods to procreate. If there are choko-like pods on the vine these should be bagged and disposed of so they do not spread.

Native Plant Identifi cation: For this free service contact either Ian Parker, Bill Pigott or Harvey Blue. We hope in the near future to be able to offer a Native Fauna identifi cation service with our own infrared camera.

Shoalhaven City Council has undertaken a substantial amount of bitumen spray sealing works and asphalt works in various locations around the Shoalhaven area over the past six months. The majority of the spray sealing works has involved the surface resealing of existing roads for a distance of approximately 29 kilometres, and also to major construction of roads for a distance of some 4 kilometres, including Currarong Road at Currarong, Jindy Andy Lane at Numbaa and Pine Forest Road, Tomerong. In addition to the bitumen spray sealing works, asphalt works have been undertaken on Bolong Road at Broughton Creek and Illaroo Road at North Nowra, comprising of some 2,500 tonnes of asphalt.Crews have focused on completing works on Main Road at Cambewarra and the northern road sealing program to reduce the impact to traffi c over the holidays. Pavement construction works at the eastern end of Main Road are nearing completion.

Berry Leprosy Auxiliary NewsThis month starts off with our annual General meeting to be held on Thursday the 20th of February at 1.30 pm. If you are interested in the work of the mission and the continuation of the auxiliary in Berry, we would welcome your support, so come along and join the group! We meet each alternate month at 17 Gwenda Avenue, Berry. For more information call Trish on 44641693 or 04011051820.What other countries are doing to aid those affected by Leprosy? We hear that around the world the Leprosy mission has about 2000 staff and implements or supports 120 leprosy projects in 26 countries. The leprosy mission is present in over 40 countries. In more than 20, TLM staff works directly with people affected by leprosy through TLM country offi ces or through partners. In the other 20 countries, TLM’S main focus is on developing fi nancial, prayer and project support. In 2011, 30 TLM countries signed The Leprosy Mission Charter showing their commitment to one another as a global fellowship. Through their unity, member countries of the TLM Fellowship are involved in decision-making and are accountable to each other as equally valued participants in the Fellowship.To know that we in Berry are just a small part in this fellowship gives us a very important reason to continue with the work of the mission.Thank you for your support and encourage-ment and if your group would like to hear more about the work of the mission overseas we are more than happy to come along and talk to your group.

BERRY MASONIC VILLAGE AUXILIARYThe residents Christmas Party in December was a huge success, with delicious food, presents for all from Santa, great music provided by ‘SWAY’ (with encore), fabulous singing and clapping along, dancing and even a conga line.

COMMUNITY URGED TO BEWARE OF ONE OF THE ROAD’S BIGGEST KILLERSMember for Kiama Gareth Ward today urged road users across the region to heed the message of the new road safety campaign Don’t Trust Your Tired Self, which highlights the serious risks of driving tired.Mr Ward said it is shocking to consider that being tired is one of the top three killers on NSW roads, along with speeding and drink driving.“Our new campaign to air in mainstream media uses the phrase ‘Not drunk. Not speeding. Just Tired’”, he said.“Whether it is on country or city roads a crash due to tiredness is twice as likely to kill you as other crashes.“You can’t brake while you’re asleep – a microsleep for 3 seconds, at 70 kilometres an hour can see you cover 90 metres of road with your eyes closed.“We are all busy at this time of the year, trying to get work done before Christmas, cramming as much as we can into the end of the year, so tiredness can set in.“Last year 62 people died and 1,959 people were injured on our roads in fatigue related crashes – that means there were more deaths due to people driving tired – than drink driving.“Just consider that being awake for around 17 hours has a similar effect on your driving ability as having a blood alcohol content of 0.05.“Don’t try to do too much and then put your family in the car to head off on a journey,” he said.“Research also shows your ability to judge how tired you are declines the more tired you become. “So we have developed an online test to help people assess how tired they might be.“I urge local motorists to visit www.testyourtiredself.com.au for a simple test based on a series of questions, memory challenges and reaction responses to see how tired you might be.“It only takes a few minutes but it could save your life,” Mr Ward said.

The NSW Government has today called for feedback on proposed changes to create consistent and rigorous controls for the State’s Sport and Recreation Centres. The Department of Planning and Infrastructure released draft new planning controls for 11 Sport and Recreation Centres across NSW.“Sport and Recreation Centres are important State assets that have been hosting school camps and other outdoor recreation programs since the 1940s,” Acting Department Director-General Richard Pearson said.“However, there is currently an inconsistent approach to what is permitted across these centres in local plans.“These changes represent a responsible approach to managing these important centres and mean that each centre can offer the facilities that best meet the community’s needs.“The changes will outline what uses are permitted in these centres.“In general, most new uses will require lodgement of a development application.” The council will typically exhibit the application and then subject it to a detailed assessment, including for any potential environmental or local amenity impacts.Under the proposed changes, any proposal for a new facility at a centre would need to be made by or on behalf of the Department of Education and Communities or State Sporting Venues Authority – the Government agencies responsible for the centres.

Have your say onplanning changes forSport and Rec Centres

This will ensure that any new proposal needs to fi rst be supported by the NSW Government and be in the public interest.The proposed changes identify a range of facilities that would be permitted in all centres, including:

Recreational facilitiesFunction and information and education centres;Eco-tourist facilities;Food and drink premises, kiosks and markets;Camping grounds;Entertainment facilities; andWater recreation structures.

The proposed State Environmental Planning Policy (Infrastructure) Amendment (Sport and Recreation) 2013 can be viewed at www.planning.nsw.gov.au/proposals and will be on exhibition until 31 January 2014.

Happy New Year to everyone who reads this informative publication; I love going to my letter box and seeing what’s happening in the town. It does give you the feeling of being in a warm community. There are many reasons why vendors’ expectations are higher than the market indicators suggest. A few vendors have unrealistic expectations of what the market will bring, some have held out too long for a non-existent top dollar and have lost the momentum of marketing. others simply misunderstand that the market responds to supply and demand and as such, prices are not theirs to dictate.Most vendors who receive offers lower than the price they have originally set their hearts on fi nd the experience a confronting one. While some readily

Vendors Bridge Expectation Gapunderstand the relationship between timing and price in achieving the best sale outcome for their property, others fi nd it diffi cult to accept any variation in the price they have decided on and fi nd it hard to understand that the longer the property takes to sell, the less chance they have of achieving a higher price.It may help vendors to bridge the expectation gap if they realise that purchasers too have a price they think the property is worth: just as some vendors have to lower their expectations, purchasers too often have to lower theirs – or raise the price they’re prepared to pay. The good news is that most vendors end up getting a price they are ultimately happy with – which is not the same necessarily as getting what they fi rst hoped for. They come to accept that the emotional

valve that they place on their years of living in the property is simply not capable of being passed on to incoming purchasers who are making their comparisons and looking for value for money.To help with the decision making process when an offer is disappointing, vendors should ask their agent to provide facts and fi gures from past sales of similar properties. They need to be scrupulously impartial when making their comparisons.I can confi dently say that we at Belle do our utmost to achieve the highest possible price for our clients. Call us for a confi dential, no obligation, market appraisal to see what you may achieve for your property.

Shoalhaven City Council is intending to undertake road-side improvements to Gerroa Road from the northern boundary of the Shoalhaven Local Government Area, south to the northern entry road into Shoalhaven Heads. The $820,000 project is programmed for completion by 30 June 2014 and is funded by the Nation Building Black Spot Program administered by the Roads and Maritime Service (RMS).

The proposed activity would include:• the removal of trees and other vegetation up to six metres from the

edge of the road and 10 metres height clearance• shoulder widening• line marking with raised ‘rumble’ pavement markingsThe vegetation clearing component would aim to establish a six metre wide by 10 metre high clearance zones in accordance with the RMS standards. The six metre width may be reduced to the limit of the road

Notice of intention - road-side improvements including vegetation clearing along Gerroa Road

reserve in some location where there is less than six metres road-verge.The works include the removal of the landmark ‘bum tree’ and a number (approx. 5) of other hollow-bearing trees to the north of the Beach Road intersection. All hollow-bearing trees shall be felled carefully in sections utilising a ‘cherry picker’ or crane if necessary to allow the rescue of native fauna. Hollow-bearing sections shall be carefully lowered to the ground so as not to injure native fauna. This work must be undertaken in cooperation with a suitably qualifi ed and NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service licenced wildlife handler who shall be on-site prior to, and during the removal of these trees.Berry Alliance will be further notifi ed prior to commencement on the start date and of possible traffi c disruptions. Variable notice boards shall also be installed on Gerroa and Beach Roads to inform motorists of the works and potential traffi c disruptions.

Australia’s stunning beaches, lakes, rivers and even pools are an annual drawcard for millions of Australian holiday makers but knowing some basic fi rst aid can help us assist in the event of drowning or heatstroke.People often underestimate the severity of heatstroke which can be a life threatening. The body loses the ability to cool itself so that is where we need to provide assistance. Move the person to a cooler place, loosen tight clothing, apply cool wet clothes or towels, fan them and give small amounts of cool water, ensuring they slip it slowly.When it comes to safe beach practices, Red Cross National First Aid Advisor, Dan Coad advises we should always swim between the red and yellow fl ags, and never swim at unpatrolled beaches or swim alone.“We should be aware of our limitations and test our skills and fi tness in a safe environment such as a public pool prior to swimming at the beach, just to make sure we’re physically capable of swimming in the surf.

Red Cross

First aid for the beach“Obviously we should refrain from drinking alcohol before swimming and never swim at night. Alcohol and water don’t mix.“Let your children know that they are not to enter the water without a parent present, says Dan, “and if possible speak to a local before entering the water to see if there is anything you should know about rips, deep holes or sandbars.“If someone appears to be drowning do not enter the water unless you are specifi cally trained to perform water rescues. As with other fi rst aid emergency incidents always follow the basic life support process.If you are on your own always call 000 fi rst to ensure help can be sent as soon as possible.“If the person is breathing, tilt their head back and place them on their side in the recovery position. It is important to tilt the head back as it moves the tongue out of the way.“If the person is not breathing, immediately commence rescue breaths and chest compressions with 30 pushes on their chest

followed by two steady breaths into their mouth or nose, ensuring you have a suitable seal and have closed the other opening.“For children under 12 months old, seal your mouth around both their nose and mouth. Continue this cycle of 30 chest compressions and two steady breaths until help arrives.“If you do not want to give mouth to mouth, hands only chest compressions should still be administered until help arrives as this is the most important way to get blood pumping and oxygen fl owing to the brain.“A common mistake is to not administer compressions or breaths for fear of using the incorrect method, when in fact any effort is better than no effort at all.To purchase a Red Cross fi rst aid kit, or to book your fi rst aid training course for 2014 go online to redcross.org.au/fi rstaid or call 1300 367 428

Berry & District Garden Club News

The Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show

THE MELBOURNE INTERNATIONAL FLOWER & GARDEN SHOW is on the agenda of the Garden Club as our fi rst excursion for 2014. Held in late March each year, the show promises to be a great few days for Club members who will meet up in Melbourne to wander around the Show at their leisure and share their discoveries – and excitement – with each other in the evenings. VISITORS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME at our meetings which are held on the 3rd Tuesday of every month. We’d be delighted if you would join us to hear guest speakers, catch up on gardening news (and some local chit-chat) and enjoy supper in the company of garden lovers. If you would like to know more, please phone Adrian Bishop on 4464 3965.Jennifer Mors

THE GARDEN CLUB HAS MOVED and we are looking forward to welcoming members and visitors alike to our new meeting venue at St Luke’s Anglican Church. Join us at 7.15pm for a 7.30pm start on Tuesday 18 February in the church hall at 68A Princess Street, Berry. This new home gives us plenty of room for our ever-expanding membership of people from all walks of life across all age groups; some are new to the area while others have fi nally found time for their gardens. With so many new members joining the keen bunch of regulars, our membership continues to be re-energised ensuring each meeting is engaging, informative and good-humoured. Planning for September’s BERRY GARDEN FESTIVAL 2014 is already underway. Committee members are busily snipping, potting and planting cuttings from many of Berry’s beautiful gardens in readiness for this year’s plant stall at the festival. A special focus of the plant stall 2014 will be the inclusion of some of the most loved – and most talked about – plants from the featured gardens which will be available for purchase. This is sure to delight both the novice and experienced gardener who just want ‘one of those’ in their gardens. This year is the 25th Anniversary of the Festival so put the dates on your calendar - 11 to 14 September – to be part of this exciting occasion.GUEST SPEAKERS are always a highlight of the Garden Club meetings and we look forward to another year of interesting, entertaining and knowledgeable speakers in 2014. Whether providing us with information about products to make gardening easier, up-to-date design (or redesign) ideas for our gardens or solutions to troublesome plant problems, our speakers always present us with something to ensure gardening remains a pleasure.

Trim hedges and prune rampant climbers like bougainvillea; roses need a light prune and also need fertilizing. Water well if it’s dry as this will encourage good Autumn blooming. Cut back any seed-producing plants that you don’t want to self -seed. Plants are often affected with mildew in February, so cut off any affected areas. Don’t put the offcuts into your compost. Place them in a sealed bag and put them out in the garbage. Water everything well if it’s dry and check mulch levels. But most of all, wander around your garden and enjoy it. Then have a G & T and relax!

It’s time to Get Country for the 126th Berry Show!

The Berry Show Society would like to extend a warm country welcome to the Berry community to attend your 126th Berry Show on Friday 31st January & Saturday 1st February 2014.

Come along for the two days and see the best of our local agriculture, produce, animals, local businesses, crafts, cooking, art, woodchoppers and sportspeople.

This great display is all made possible by the generosity of our sponsors and supporters.

We thank these outstanding businesses, organisations and individuals for helping to keep our Berry Show tradition alive & thriving. Thank you to our Champion Sponsors; Strongbuild Classic Design, Express Tools & Camping, Silos Winery and Millpaca Stud for their grand generosity. A kind thank you to our Blue Ribbon Sponsors; Berry Rural Co-op, Berry IGA, Berry Pharmacy, Andrew Bullock, Elders Real Estate, Engineered Floors Australia, T.J. Fahl Rural Contracting, Great Southern Hotel Berry, Illawarra Equine Centre, Orford Rural Contracting, Pentair, Ray White Real Estate, The Grange at Berry and The Waddell Family.

Thank you also to our Red Ribbon, White Ribbon, Yellow Ribbon and Green Ribbon Sponsors. All of the Berry Show sponsors for 2014 are listed on the next page. Many of those listed offer their contribution year after year. We thank them all for their support. If you would like to become a sponsor of the Berry Show please contact our Sponsorship committee.

There are a few changes to the Berry Show this year which we hope you will enjoy. The Grand Parade has moved to Saturday at 1.30pm. It promises to be a spectacle not to be missed! The Beef Cattle judging has now moved to the Saturday morning so those who can’t make it early Friday to see the Dairy Cattle show will still have the opportunity to see some of the incredible cattle we have in the Berry region and beyond.

This year we will also be holding our first Young Farmer Challenge. This is a fast-paced youth event showcasing the technical skills involved in working on the land, with animals and in agriculture in general. Don’t miss the Stockhorse Demonstration or the working dogs in action!

Of course there are all the regular attractions like the Rodeo, Children’s Pet Show, the Pavilion Displays, Beaut Utes and Fireworks.

The Showgirls will be seen around the grounds before the announcement of the 2014 Berry Showgirl on Saturday evening. Relax in the Grandstand Cafe, chill at the Axemen & Sawyers Bar with live entertainment, pat the foals and calves in the Animal Nursery and see the woodchips fly. If you haven’t already, then like us on facebook, www.facebook.com/theberryshow to keep up to date with what’s on.

So put on your checked shirt, pull on your boots and GET COUNTRY for the best event on the annual Berry calendar, the Berry Show. See you there!

Warmest Regards, The Berry Show Committee & The Ladies Auxiliary

The Berry Men’s Shed held their annual Christmas Party and award ceremony recently at the Berry Bowling Club. It was the fi rst time we have held the gathering at the Bowling Club and all members were pleasantly surprised at the picturesque location on the creek and the outdoor facilities offered by the Club. The Shed Chairman, Peter Johnstone addressed the 52 members and guests and spoke about the activities of the Men’s Shed during 2013 and what was in place for 2014. In 2013 we completed 126 projects including possum boxes, repairs to numerous chairs and tables, construction of a skateboard ramp, gumboot stands and planter boxes to name a few. We are currently undertaking the construction of a large cubby house which upon completion will be sold to the public. “ The quality of work performed and the variety of work carried out made 2013 a very special year” said Chairman Peter Johnstone.

BERRY MEN’S SHEDCONGRATULATIONS TO ROBERT

Peter also had great pleasure in awarding the famous Tardis Award for the most consistent Shed member and this year it went to Robert Mottram who has been a member for the last 6 years. “ I was completely taken by surprise” said Robert after receiving the award.“Some of the new projects to be undertaken early in the new year are to design a new publicity brochure, the current one was produced 7 years ago, and updating our web page.” said Secretary Richard Wiseman If any member of the Berry Community has something they need repaired of something they would like built, please feel free to call into the Shed or phone them on 4464 3956 on Tuesday or Thursday and discuss your requirements with the Supervisor on duty.Richard WisemanSecretary
