The Cornwall Community Development Group put in a request to the committee of the St Marys Memorial Services Association asking if we would collaborate with them to commemorate A.N.Z.A.C Day Services. It was put forward for discussion and all members were in agreement. It was decided to alternate the dawn and 11am service each year. Therefore, on the 25th April St Marys will hold the Dawn Service starting at 6am followed by a Gunfire Breakfast. Cornwall will hold the 11am Service.
Next year St Marys will perform the 11am and Cornwall the 6am. We hope that this partnership will be met favourably by the community so we can all come together to remember our fallen.
Lest we forget.
Wendy Brennan, for and on behalf of the St Marys Memorial Services Association

It was a privilege to be a tiny part of another fantastic Woodcraft Guild Open Day last weekend. I’d like to thank Reon, Wendy and all the crew for the chance to show a few railway models, but the overall list of things to see and do was just terrific. Continue reading

The Chocolate Shop Singers need more singers. We meet Thursday 5pm at Lizzie’s Mt Elephant Fudge shop and sing, chat and laugh ‘til 7. We sing a capella in many languages (some unknown) and have performed at local and regional events for over 10 years.
We are not professional singers – most of us can’t read music – so don’t be reluctant to join because you think you may not be suitable.
Our esteemed leader Isabel still has a full head of hair, seemingly unlimited patience and a basketful of magic.
Anyone can sing, and it’s fun and rewarding learning to do so.
The next AMIC Market is Saturday 19th April 2014 in the Avoca Hall. Contact Steve 6384 2188 for a stall. All invited to the AMIC meeting on Tuesday 15th April, 4pm.
