 Service Notice Updated Notice SCOTLAND ISLAND COMMUNITY TRANSPORT VEHICLE THE COMMUNITY VEHICLE WILL BE OUT OF SERVICE AND OFF THE ISLAND DUE TO MECHANICAL REPAIRS FROM: FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2010 TO: WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 2010 PLEASE RING IN ADVANCE TO CONFIRM VEHICLE HAS RETURNED EMERGENCY MEDICAL EVACUATION ONLY CALL SCOTLAND ISLAND FIRE BRIGADE 9999 4404 APOLOGIES FOR THIS INCONVENIENCE PLEASE DON’T PARK AT THE OLD WHARF STEPS AT CHURCH POINT!  Lately, boats are being parked at the old wharf steps at Church Point, and increasingly they are big ones which are hard to shift. We only still have this traditional wharf because a dedicated group of Church Point and offshore residents fought to retain it. Besides adding to the charm of the Point, it is really useful. The solid steps, except at dead low tide, are easier to use to from a small tinnie than the pontoon which is too high and has nothing to hold onto. Last year, Tony had weak legs all year and we depended on the steps for him to be able to get in and out of our boat. The pontoon was just too big a jump for him. Many other people have told me they use the steps with people who are less stable. Even for the able bodied, the wharf steps are often safer as they are away from the ferries and taxi and offer something to grab in a high wind. (Shhh! - it’s also illegal to tie up at a public wharf.) PLEASE SHARE THE STEPS ! If you also like using wharf steps, keep your eye on Council’s plans to progressively remove them and speak up. The current plans for Tennis Wharf have “Remove Steps” on them, to happen when they next need replacing.

Local car enthusiasts have a treat in store with the American Car Sunday event to be held at Pittwater Rugby Park on Sunday 28 February. This one-day event will see close to 400 American cars on display and is hosted by Pittwater Rotary Club. Organiser Bob Radnidge said the public would be able to feast their eyes on some American classic automobiles, including Cadillacs, Corvettes, Chevrolets, as well as a pristine 1927 Stuz, the American version of the Rolls Royce. “There will be also be a 1956 Lincoln Continental at the event, so popular that even Elvis owned one,” said Mr Radnidge. The event is open to American-made vehicles only, with entry by ‘gold coin’ for exhibitors. All proceeds from the event will be donated to charities, with last year over $11, 000 raised. Last year the event attracted car enthusiasts from as far away as Victoria and Queensland, with trophies on offer for the best exhibits. Local owners of American cars are also invited to participate. The event is suitable for the whole family, with a free kid’s jumping castle, barbecue and drinks. This year money raised on the day will go to buy items off a ‘wish list’ for the Children’s Hospital at Westmead. Pittwater Rotary will also have part of the proceeds for their ‘shelter boxes’, that offer emergency shelter for people affected by disasters around the world such as Haiti. Gates open at 8am. Admission is $15 for a family, $8 for adults and $5 for concession. For more information about displaying a vehicle, call Bob Radnidge on 0407 186 430 or Kevin Monk on 9971 8225. You Asked..

Sammy Inspire PT 0415543131 inspirepittwater@gmail.com Tapas on Friday Evenings at Q CAFÉ - Quays Marina Q Café at Quays Marina is holding Tapas evenings each Friday on the deck over the water, starts at 6pm going through to late. "Tapas is held on the deck over the water, lit by fairy lights and lanterns (unless weather prevents-in which case it is held inside the marina complex) and starts at 6pm going through to late - the concept is to keep prices of food low enough to allow people to regularly attend and in turn help build a social club for locals and their guest. We can seat roughly 60 and accompany the evenings with live music from 6pm to 9.30pm." The menu changes each week to offer regulars something exciting each time they attend. Bookings are essential – call 9997 2800 and ask for the Café. Please join us for an enjoyable evening!
