Submitted by Admin on Mon, 14/Jul/2014 - 5:54am

Good morning everyone,

If anyone can turn that wind off! Lazy one isn’t it? We’re getting back to needing a shower or two of rain on the country as well, feed is getting short.

We have to be a bit long sighted this week.  There is a great night out at the Warrego Hotel in Fords Bridge next Saturday night, if you happen to be near. It features The Darling River Dirt Band.

Then back down to White Cliffs if you happen to be passing, you can join in the fun with Christmas in July on Friday the 25th.

For those travelling north, why not drop in to Lightening Ridge and enjoy The Opal and Gem Festival, 31st. to 3rd. August. If of course, you would like to attend one of our “Blue Ribbon” events of the year, then head to Louth for the Annual Louth Races. They come from near and far, and camp for up to a week. Outstanding event, and for more info. Contact Liz Murray at Trilby or Shindy’s Inn at Louth.

Moving on, you would be more than welcome at the Western Landcare Forum that is being held at White Cliffs. It’s a 2 day session on the 15-16th. August. We welcome the Milparinka community to our little Email, sorry I’ve left you out Phil, they have a 2 day Field and Game Shoot up there on the 16-17th. August. And shooters come from near and far.

Just a bit out of order here but the Nyngan Ag Expo is on the 2nd. August, always a brilliant day, thanks Donna. I’m also including a flyer for the Landcare Forum, White Cliffs.

Bit hit and miss this week but I’m sure you will work it out. We are seeing great numbers of tourists passing through at the moment, and even better a lot are staying 2 and 3 days here in town, really great to see and even better to chat to some of them at our Coffee Shop. Cheers again till I can pass some more on to you all. Bye, Bill Elliott  WCTA
