Email from local: ”Just wanted to warn people in Yandoit/Yandoit Hills area to be careful
about what you leave lying around unattended in your yards. We have
just ”lost” two full jerry cans of fuel which were left out in view of
the front gate. Clearly too tempting for someone passing by!”
Music will be provided by Maurie Gervasoni (accordion legend), Greg O’Leary (fiddle legend), Ian White (banjo legend) and myself (bass and guitar ?). We will offer an eclectic mix of old-time dance tunes, standards, bush songs and a bit of good ole’ country twang!
A local Community Market will be held on Sunday 24 April 2016, 10am – 2pm at the Yandoit Hall. This will be the opportunity for the many talented, skilled and productive people within the Yandoit, Franklinford and Clydesdale areas to sell their wares.
Also, in the spirit of our very successful Trade Fair held last September, ‘Trade, swap and sell’ are all possible: You may have items no longer in use that you are interested in selling or that could be exchanged for much needed skills, goods or services
The Trade Directory handed out at the Trade Fair, will be updated with information of all new participants at the Community Market and available on that day.
There will be small cost of $5.00 per stall or site to cover the hall cost and the Trade Directory.
Inside stalls are limited. So please register your request as soon as possible.

Event Summary
The Feathered Five Drive, Saturday March 19 2016, 8:30 am – 11 am, various locations
Our region covers many different habitats and local communities – and to celebrate this and ensure maximum coverage we have decided to hold three simultaneous bird walks, in the following locations Blue Hills/ Nuggetty, Clydesdale/ Sandon area walk, and the Glenluce area. Walk locations have been selected because they are known sites of at least some of the feathered five. More details provided upon registration.
Woodland Bird Evening Forum, Saturday March 19 2016, 5pm – 8.30pm, Campbells Creek Community Centre. Bookings essential.

This walk will have a special focus on woodland birds and their habitat.
