Art exhibition opening
Local and well known Tinonee artist Rod Spicer had his latest art exhibition opening on Friday evening, May 23 at the Manning Regional Art Gallery in Taree.
The exhibition of 20 oil on canvas works is titled A Long Summer and on display are some of Rod's older works and some new works is titled. The exhibition will continue to be on show until July 13.
Rod took his inspiration from the 2019 bushfires that raged throughout the Manning district.
Well done Rod, congratulations and hope you continue to put our area on the map. I am hoping to get to see the exhibition before it closes.

Birthday wishes
Many happy birthday wishes to friend and Wingham resident, Mrs Joyce Martin who turned 104 years of age on Saturday, May 25. I trust she had a lovely time with family and friends on her special day.
I haven't seen Joyce for a while but I am sure she is still doing most of the things she loves.
I always remember Joyce's birthday as it just a couple of days before my own which fell on May 28, but I am only 77-years-old and still have a few years to catch up on Joyce.
I received a surprise phone call from friend Heather in Victoria wishing me a happy birthday on Monday. Heather and I have known each other since we travelled to together on an Atrek tour back in early 1970 which took us from London through Europe and included Russia. We have always stayed in touch on what our families are up to. It is great to have such good and loyal friends and to be able to reminisce on times from the past.
Many thanks to my Tinonee Museum fellow members who surprised me with a birthday cake (thanks Beverley) and a card over Tuesday's morning tea. It was very much appreciated and the cake was a delicious sponge cake.
