Cocktails in the Yards — September

The yards will be a bigger focus this year in preparation for our "Cocktails in the Yards" event in September. This will be our biggest fundraiser for the year. More details to come as we progress our organising — watch this space!

The Season in Review

Well, summer is finally over — thank heavens! It has been long, very hot and very dry. Although for the woolshed and quarters, dry is good. We recently had about 40mm of rain, so the burrs and weeds are getting started. Fortunately, we have a little sprayer donated by Doug Newton, which will be invaluable.

Just Announced - May Open Day

The National Trust are running the Australian Heritage Festival over April/May and we were asked to participate. We have organised an Open Day for one day only on 9 May, along with markets. The event will be advertised through the National Trust and form part of their programme.

One small catch — 9 May is now also the day of the Farrer by-election! Those of us involved who live in this electorate will need to organise a postal vote. Oh well, such is life!

Working Bee — Following the Open Weekend

The main projects for the working bee will include:

Shed restumping: Removing the grating from the north-western side of the shed in preparation for restumping. We need to get the floor on that side stabilised enough to repair the roof that peeled off in the December storm.
Western quarters: Working on the newly restumped western quarters to get them weatherproof while we repair the windows and doorways.
Weed control: Making sure catheads are under control — chipping, spraying, etc. for anything we miss or can't get to with the bigger sprayer.

If you're planning on coming and haven't let us know please click here to register for this Working Bee.

Regards,
Chris
