Choir sings at St Lukes The Peninsula Choir will be performing Choral Evesong at St Luke’s Church, Woy Woy, on Sunday, December 2. “At this time last year, the Peninsula Choir sang the service of Choral Evensong at St Luke’s Church, Woy Woy,” choir publicity officer Ms Barbara Firth said. “The large and appreciative congregation then had encouraged the rector, the Reverend Penny Jones, to provide such a service again.
“This will take place at St Luke’s Anglican Church in Blackwall Rd at 6pm on Sunday, December 2, the first Sunday in the pre-Christmas season of Advent. “The hymns will all be traditional seasonal favourites, led by the Peninsula Choir under its director and organist Ivan Kinny. “The choir will also sing a psalm to a chant by Joseph Barnby, settings of the canticles by Thomas Morley, and an Advent anthem by Jacob Praetorius.” Press release, 20 Nov 2007 Barbara Firth, Peninsula Choir

Chamber welcomes water works The Peninsula Chamber of Commerce has welcomed news from Gosford Council that works will be undertaken in the near future to solve the problem of dirty water on the Peninsula. “We have been advised that Council will be setting priorities for upgrading the water filtration plant and the replacement of old pipelines to systematically reduce the recurrence of dirty water,” Chamber president Mr Matthew Wales said.
“Over the next two years, we understand that Council will be replacing over 100km of old water pipes on the Peninsula that have caused much of the problem. “Council’s manager water supply, Rod Williams, has recently visited businesses in Ettalong Beach that have been worst affected. “They have been given assurances that there issues will be dealt with as a priority. “This is welcome news. “Council should be applauded for getting on with what is obviously a big job.”

The Chamber of Commerce said that it was regrettable that past councils had failed to act earlier to fix the problem. “Whilst we know Council staff are actively trying to resolve the problem, it has been disappointing that the problem has persisted for so many years. “Business should be able to rely on clean, safe and reliable mains pressure water,” Mr Wales said.
