Harold Reserve: updates and changes

You may have noticed a few changes at Harold Reserve recently.

Here are the latest updates from the SIRA Parks and Reserves Working Group:
  • To protect the Reserve from soil erosion and bush degradation, Pittwater Council has extended the handrail to Carols Wharf. The rest of the railing is being repaired and will soon be completed
  • Council will be putting in water bars to protect the Reserve from further erosion, and some planting will be taking place
  • A new light has been installed next to the BBQ. On behalf of SIRAC and all residents, I would like to thank Margaret Stanley for her kind donation
  • A new picnic table will be arriving soon
  • Pittwater Council will be looking into a resolution for all the water craft left in the Reserve. We will keep you updated on that progress
Yours,

Sue Dickson, Team Leader

WOW September Lunch
Antonia Kitching's: Seed FreedomMovement

Hi everyone,
 
Do you care about what you eat? Do you care about how animals are cared for and managed?

Antonia Kitching has kindly offered to host a thought-provoking September WOW get-together on Friday 20th September, so I'd be grateful if you could let me know ASAP if you would like to come.

Unfortunately due to venue constraints, there will be a maximum of 14 people for this event.

Antonia has asked if everyone could go the following website www.vandanashiva.org/navdanya to understand the importance of bio-diversity, so that we can become more aware about what we are buying at the supermarket.
 
Cheers,
Jenny

Can anyone help ?
Fridge repair

We are relatively new to the Island.

I am told this might be the place to ask if anyone knows anyone (or even if they know anyone) who can re-gas or at least take a look at a Jennair fridge.

I am desperately wanting to get my fridge fixed instead of the other expensive option of getting 50 men to move it out and making more landfill.

I am at a loss to get a technician from mainland to actually keep their appointment.

If you can assist please contact me at shelleypeat@gmail.com

Cheers,
Shelley
