Please sign this petition

OUR little fox-terrier mate Helen Dalton has a petition going around to try and stop the water buybacks. Helen requires 10,000 signatures so she can address the members of the Legislative Assembly of NSW.

You must live in NSW and be older than 14 to sign this petition. It is not only farmers that should sign this petition. It affects the whole local economy – businesses, footy-netball clubs, tennis clubs, bowling clubs, schools as well as pubs and clubs.

If the petition hasn’t already been dropped off to your business, or if you have misplaced it. Please get in touch with Jane on 0428 875 060 and she will get one to you.


Trivia night

MOULAMEIN school P&C has a Trivia Night coming up at 6.30 on August 3 at our Moulamein Bowling Club. Early-bird tickets are available for $15 to be put on a table.

You can arrange your own table of eight for $80 or just turn up on the night and pay $20 to be put on a table. Good idea, you think, but what about the kids? This is the best part. Supervised kids’ activities will be provided at our club during this great event.

Sounds like a great deal, palm your kids off to someone else on a Saturday night and have a great time trying to be smarter than your mates.

To book in, ring Amy on 0427 284 533. Hope to see you there.


Bowls tournament

JUST another reminder that we have our September Classic coming up on the last day of August and the first day of September.

Spots are filling fast as there is always great prise money paid out at our Moulamein Tournaments.

To book in, ring Kerryn on 0407 800 111. Even if you miss out on a spot. You can be on the waiting list to join us for a great weekend. Hope to see you there and have a win against you.


Footy and netball at home

WE have Wandella coming to the MCG this Saturday for our second last home match. It was a tough weekend at the office for our teams at Hay last weekend. With conditions like that, you would not go out to work unless you really had to. But sport has to go on.

I had six layers on to do the goals. The players were in shorts and singlets. I know who had the better deal. Come over this week to cheer the mighty Swans on. Our A Grade netballers are still in fourth spot and our mighty little under-14s are still in third spot. I think our mighty midgets are almost guaranteed a spot in the finals, so that is great.


Bowel scan

LET’S hope I have convinced a few more people to use this great service that we get provided for free in our great nation. I went through the dreaded prep. Not as bad as I thought it would be, once you got used to the taste. I have been eating my wife’s cooking for almost 40 years now, so I have learnt to grin and bear it.

We had the grandkids visiting at the time, so it was a case of just play on your own for a while. Pop will be back soon.

My grandson, who usually likes to wake me up in the morning by jumping on me asked. “So, it would not be a good idea to jump on you Pop”.

Good thinking by the young feller. Off to hospital next morning to get the SS Enterprise camera up where no man or woman has been before. They told me that they would only give me a mild dose of anaesthetic as they only wanted to make me dopey, not put me to sleep.

Yep, I am already dopey, so I slept through whatever they did to me. I think they found a polyp. I was still half asleep when they told me this. I think these polyp things can turn into cancer. Will find out more about it next week when the results come back.

You get the bowel scan kit sent to you for free. Do it. It is not that hard.


River levels

OUR Edward is steady at around 1.4 metres and just over 1,100 megalitres a day. Our Edward will be around this level or lower for the foreseeable future.
