Looking for someone to maintain our grounds and perhaps do small maintenance jobs. Prepared to pay. Spread the word. Interested persons can send a message or email [email protected]

What an amazing difference! Look at the hall with it's new paving.

Rock Culture SA has been on site this week (created our Memorial Garden two years ago) courtesy of a grant from the Alexandrina Council Community Wellbeing program. We are stoked to finally have some paving around the hall and kitchen.

The grant justification was that paving would enable the hall to be used throughout the year as mud etc would be minimised. Over to the community to make this happen.

With much sadness we advise the sudden passing of Brendan Graves last Saturday. Husband to Liz, a longtime Committee member, the Graves family has been living next door to the Hall for over 30 years. Brendan was a valuable contributor working quietly behind the scenes; of late he became the “Master” of our coffee machine and made a mean cappuccino.

A Celebration of Brendan’s Life will be held on Sunday 19th July at Woodburn Homestead, Angas Plains Road, Langhorne Creek from 1pm. The family has chosen the beautiful venue as it was one of his favourite places.

For catering purposes, please let Liz know: [email protected]

Our heartfelt condolences go to Liz and her family.

Two photos: one more recent, the second, one of Liz's favourites taken 20 odd years ago.

We need some advice on how to stop water coming under the back door and flooding the hall. There is a concrete slab that needs removing but the Committee needs help to work out a long-term solution. Is there a builder, plumber, engineer in the District? Meanwhile we'll contine sandbagging and using towels - not ideal and definitely below par these past few days.
Please message.

COMMUNITY HELP wanted.
A visitor to our community last Friday was tailgated along Brookman Road from Top Range Feeds store to around Bevan Road. When the driver turned up a side road, the tailgater did a u-turn and drove up to ram the car. The driver was shocked. The car is severely damaged.
The police advise they need either camera evidence or someone's dash cam to pursue the matter.
This happened between 1.20-1.30pm- the car was rammed at 1.28pm.
The alleged vehicle is a white GU Patrol Ute turbo diesel. Unfortunately due to the driver being in shock, the number plate details were not taken.
Can you help? Please send HFRA a message and or report any information you have to the Mount Barker or Aldinga police stations.

Big thank you to Willunga Repair Cafe. Fixed our urn which wasn't working. Has a reset safety switch on the bottom we didn't know about.
