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

Singers wanted…
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.

I’ve resisted the temptation until now to mention the Tasmanian Election but…regarding the Regional Forestry Agreement surely the new government won’t cancel the whole thing after the mountain of work it took to reach an agreement. That would be an insult to everyone involved on both sides. This agreement required some fairly major concessions on both sides and whilst not perfect by any means (the stated opinion of the various groups involved) it is as good as it can be.
Why do you think that a ‘mandate’ exists to pull apart this. The election result was probably a result of many things, not just the RFA, and to use the mandate excuse is presumptuous at the very least.
I already know this new mob will struggle to implement many of their promises in the timeframes they suggest but this Forestry deal is extremely complex and difficult, and to say they will throw it out before there’s been any chance of seeing what might happen is pretty short sighted.
It deserves some sort of consideration surely. We’ll wait and see what happens next.
On a local matter… Now that the bottom reservoir is drained for safety reasons (apparently a gushing issue as a good friend was told) would someone from TasWater please put up more safety fencing. There is a very rickety walkway, a pretty steep drop and other matters there; whilst it’s being repaired it could be a risk to small children or pets especially. I only ask because I know that any potential risk needs to be identified. I hope TasWater can attend to this sooner rather than later as it would probably be considered a workplace and new regulations are pretty uncompromising in workplaces these days.
