The Burdekin Neighbourhood Centre held their AGM on Wednesday night which I attended. It was good to see such a big turn-out. The Centre offers some great classes ranging from Exercise, Crochet, Mental Health, Parkinson Support Group, Cooking, Bereavement Counselling, Dementia Support, and free Legal Advice plus many more please support this Centre.
I attended the Burdekin Industry Breakfast on Wednesday 27th November at the Burdekin Theatre. It was a very interesting morning listening to Representatives from Jet Zero Australia North Queensland biofuel Pioneers discuss their aim to develop Australia’s first sustainable Aviation Fuel Alcohol to jet Fuel in Townsville. It was a very informative presentation.
I would also like to comment on the Staff at the Burdekin Shire Council who do not get the thanks that they deserve. From the counter staff front line to behind the scenes in all other departments they all do a great job and help keep the Council functioning and keeping the town running from the water to sewerage to garbage and all other services we take for granted.
I am looking forward to attending the Bendigo Community Bank Home Hill and Ayr Christmas Carols on Sunday 8th December starting at 5:30pm. It’s a great way to get family and friends together and be involved in the Christmas spirit, be sure to go over and see the new Christmas trees in Home Hill and Ayr and capture many happy memories to cherish for years to come.
As this is my last column for the year, I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
