 For those who were NOT able to attend the Wine Syndicate tasting and who don't want to miss out on some very good Pre-Christmas deals !! The Wine Syndicate tasting, held at Greg and Louise’s Pitt Point boatshed in perfect weather, was a very interesting and enjoyable occasion. For those who couldn’t make the tasting, and as this is the last opportunity to buy good quality, and very good value, wines through the WS before Christmas, we have attached the Order with the Tasting Notes. Anyone is welcome to purchase any of these wines by filling in the form and posting/emailing, as indicated in the top right hand corner, to Jim Sutton by 21st October (that’s pretty soon). Download the tasting notes - price list and order form HERE For people who like the Whites, the time proven Wongaburra Verdelho is good tasting and terrific value. The Watervale Riesling is true to the notes – good fruit and a sharp lemony dry finish. The Pepperton ‘bubbly’ also impressed the tasters, especially with the festive season fast approaching. And at the price you won’t hesitate to pop the top off one (it’s equipped with the very clever resealable cap too!) The stand out Reds, generally acknowledged by the tasters are the Lake Breeze ‘Bullant’ 2009 Shiraz, the Laterite 2009 Margaret River Shiraz, and the 2008 ‘Bernoota’ shiraz Cabernet (which is outstanding!). The tasting notes were considered to be pretty accurate, except perhaps for the ‘bubbly’, which while certainly very pleasant, is not quite as dry as indicated. If you’d like to discuss any of these wines, please ring any of the following – Greg (9979 5228 – up until Wed evening), Paul (0403 442 764), Julian (9999 4449). Just remember that the Order has to be sent & paid to Jim by Friday 21st Oct. Happy Christmas!

Here is an invitation ... and a link to the Australian Stage theatre review http://www.australianstage.com.au/201110084858/reviews/sydney/lucky-|-ipan-and-the-spare-room.html Carmen Ky SI Family Day Care Centre Survey I, Rebecca Tringham, resident of Scotland Island for 26 years, would like to set up my own licensed (CCB approved) Family Day Care Centre here on the Island. I live between Bells and Carols wharves, and to make the care provided as user friendly as possible, I need some information from families interested in, or in need of child care on Scotland Island. I plan to open the service in January 2012. I can care for another 4 children along with my own son Mackenzie, for 3-4 days a week. The hours of operation are flexible, but I suspect the demand for longer days, about ten hours, is going to be high. I have no intention to take any business from our wonderful Scotland Island Kindy, which I attended so many years ago. I also understand that the hours of operation of Scotland Island Kindy can make it hard for working parents to place their child in care there. I have been a professional Child Care teacher, caring for children of all ages in a variety of settings. My roles have ranged from an assistant, to my latest position, second in charge of a 90 place centre. I have been planning, and looking forward to opening my own family day care for a very long time. With over ten years experience I have pulled knowledge from many different places and personal experiences to develop a passion for the highest quality of care, along with a professional attitude, consistent communication, and last but certainly not least to have fun with children in a small intimate environment getting to know their personalities, their challenges and strengths.
