This past week has seen some much welcome rain over the area. There is nothing like the natural water to make the vegetables and flowers go ahead in leaps and bounds and husband John has been pleased with his vegetable garden that is producing well - helps keep the fridge full and he has even been giving some away to friends.

Noticed quite a bit of colour in the Manning River and even a rise but thankfully nothing too major to cause problems. The farmers should be happy to see their paddocks taking on a very nice green and plenty of feed for their stock.
Historical society
Tinonee Historical Society held its first meeting since July and dealt with a number of matters. Members are pleased with the continued progress on the display shed which is having some finishing touches added and hopefully will soon be able to show off a number of larger items.
With COVID still around it has been decided to postpone the garage sale planned for December 4 to a date in 2022. The museum will continue to operate three days a week with the Christmas break to be taken from Thursday, December 23 till January 11. Visitors are still welcome providing they observe the regulations regarding COVID.
Christmas get-togethers
With Christmas not all that far away, many of the local organisations are starting to plan their Christmas parties and these included the Wingham RSL Sub-branch after their December 1 meeting. Wingham RSL Day Club will also hold theirs the following Monday. Hopefully Santa will be able to make a visit to both these events.
School news
Last week saw a number of special events held at the Tinonee Public School including a book parade. Unfortunately parents/carers were unable to be present due to COVID regulations.
On the same day Year 6 students conducted a special market day which raised funds towards "Helping the Manning River Turtle".
This week year six students took part in their High School Transition and held their "fund day" and next Monday, November 29, intensive swimming will begin with swimming for sport commenced on Friday, November 12 for four weeks at the Taree Pool.
Donations towards the P and C Christmas raffle are being accepted and can be left at the school office. Meanwhile helpers are still needed urgently for canteen duty - if you can help out please contact the school.
