 Happy Carolling Christmas - Let's see It again!Thank you so much for your fortitude, wet weather tolerance, good spirits and dedication to the task in hand. There were moments when we probably all asked ourselves why are we huddled in a boat shed, in a hail storm, singing a Capella carols to three men and a dog in the water and some sodden people in the boats. The answer is because deep down we love doing it! And the performance at the Point proved it. And here is your reward - eleven minutes of professionally shot footage of the Carols at the Point from local filmmaker John Illingsworth who has captured lots of Pittwater images over the years  John told me he had never seen the Carols before but he loved the show and will be back next year. He is also preparing a longer version of the show for us. A HUGE thank you to our Dear Leader and Choirmaster Rod who soldiered on in very trying circumstances and led us all to success, snatching a great victory from the dripping wet jaws of defeat! The Carols are now up on Youtube - look for 2018 Carols Afloat - so you can pass this link to friends near and far. Thank you again to everyone who has been part of the event over the past ten years and there is already talk of coming back for the 10th anniversary next year. A very happy Pittwater Christmas to you all and all the best for 2019. John Flower  Draft Scotland Island Traffic Management PlanOpen for comment until mid-FebruaryThank you to those of you who were able to attend the stakeholder meeting on Scotland Island on 9 December at 10am.Transport Network Manager Phil Devon presented the proposed draft plan and addressed questions from attendees. The Your Say project page is now live and provides an opportunity to view the Draft Plan, notes from the meeting and comment online.
