Upper Lansdowne Craft group are finally able to have their Thursday craft mornings back in their local hall.

How thrilled they were to be back, a lot of chatter and laughter as friends caught up with each other, after being in isolation.

The group would like to thank the Upper Lansdowne Hall Committee for their new storage cabinets they provided for the group's new storeroom. They are so grateful for the extra space and storage.

The group are only allowed 20 people in the hall at present, but if anyone is interested in joining the group in the future, please ring Marion Whetton on 6556 9171 or Judy Quayle on 6556 7015 for any information you may want.

Congratulations to Harley Fuller who is a member of the Coopernook Volunteer Rural Fire Brigade.

Harry has just past his driving test to drive the brigade's fire truck. Well done.

The brigade now has six drivers which will make a difference with future fires.

The Lansdowne Fishing Club has two fishing outings planned for next month.

The first is on July 4 and 5 with the weigh in at the Lansdowne Bowling and Recreation Club on the Sunday from 2pm.

The second outing will be on July 18 and 19 with the weigh in at the Lansdowne Bowling and Recreation Club on the Sunday from 2pm.

The target species for both outings are salmon and tarwhine, which will give the members double points for these species.

The fundraising fishing club seafood raffles are back. They will be held on Saturday, July 11 and there will be 10 seafood trays, 10 meat trays and their supporters' tray.

The Upper Lansdowne Hall committee have worked out that they will be able to hold their planned 19-Twenty concert outside the hall in the surrounding grounds and still comply with the government regulations as they stand on Saturday, August 29.

There are signs that the government may relax the lockdown regulation in the coming months and if that happens and the concert can be safely held in the hall, that is what they will do. Otherwise the concert will be held outside on the grass where it can safely go ahead under the stricter regulations.

If held outside there will be an afternoon start around 2.30pm as it gets very chilly in the evenings of August.

If you book for the 7pm inside show and it changes to 2.30pm time and you cannot or do not want to make it, refunds will be made. Vice versa also applies.

For bookings phone Rita on 02 5591 6017.
