Friends of Edgars Creek

Hi All,

Happy new year to you all. I have been lucky enough to have been off work and enjoying the beach around Narooma (southern NSW coast). Hope that you have all had a chance to enjoy some down time too.

Our Annual General Meeting has been scheduled for Sunday February 17th at 12pm – all welcome. We will meet at the old Ronald Street bridge area. Please bring your own chair if you want one (I'll be happy with grass) and sun hat.

Should the weather be wet - the meeting will be under the old Kodak bridge. If it is a forecast stinker with high fire danger we will advise of a more suitable alternative. All positions on the Committee are vacated on an annual basis and nominations are welcome for all positions (President, Secretary, Treasurer). Voting rights at the AGM come with your (free) FoEC membership. If you are not yet a formal member see the website for details on how to sign up online. 

The 2019 calendar is now complete and can be referenced from our website. I'm not sure if I mentioned that we were successful with our latest Melbourne Water Community Grant so have a full calendar of events in 2019 and some guaranteed 2020 activities too! That can only be good for the creek.

I look forward to seeing you on the creek!

Regards,

David.

Happy New Year!

We have a very short lead into our Rock Up Netball TRAIN sessions (3 in total starting this Friday from 6pm-7pm) we hope you and your colleagues will be interested? 

RUN Moreland has the TRAIN program starting this coming Friday 25th January.  It is a great way to brush-up on fitness, stamina and netball skills before resuming matches from Thursday 14th Feb. at the outdoor Hadfield, Martin Reserve courts.  These TRAIN sessions are indoors at Coburg Basketball Stadium on Friday nights from 6pm-7pm for 3 weeks only. See the Rock Up Netball website for more details.

Kind regards,

Newlands Fix It

Fix - It Newlands is back! 

It's Back! Our Newlands fix - it mend - it monthly session is happening. Come join us!

6.30 - 8.30 on Thursday 7th Feb (and continuing the first Thursday of the month).

Held at a Newlands home .....

How great will it be to be able to use those things in the back of the cupboard, bring everything you need to and fix/mend your own thing(s) in good company.

The first Thursday of each month. We will start as a lounge room event & then see if it moves to a different venue.
Note: we LOVE repair cafe's where volunteers fix things for you. This Fix - It is different. This is where we make the time to fix/mend our own things - to make it a priority :)

Men's Circle

Newlands Community Men's Open Circle 

 

This is a circle for men and is structured to introduce or strengthen our experience of the four main archetypes of masculinity. Lover, warrior, magician, and sovereign. It is facilitated and empowers exploration.

The model is based on learnings and the experience of men from the Mankind project. An information session can be organised (by request) to welcome women's curiosity into the safety and value of the work. 

The aim is to trial the group until mid-2019 and gauge if there is ongoing interest and support from the Newlands community to have it continue. I really hope it Does!!

 

Beginning: 

Fortnightly from 23rd January. 

Cost: Gold coin donation. 

Time: 6:30 for 6:45 start. 

Venue: 

Newlands Community House 

20 Murray road

Coburg North

3058

What to bring: 

Just yourself and a gold coin for donation to the community house.

Would anyone be interested in taking this beautiful old piano off our hands?

It needs a professional tune, one of the pedals is a bit sticky and it's really heavy.........

It's all yours if you would like it!
