This month’s cover features Nicole Donovan and Damien Attwood the owners of Coffs Harbour’s newest Bar and Restaurant, Esme Bar & Kitchen. It’s one of the newest, freshest foodie experiences to launch on the Coffs Coast. We sat down with Scott Warden, the devoted president of the Coffs Harbour Ice Hockey Club, to talk about the club’s inception and its eclectic mix of players. We also sat down with Nicola Dawson to discuss her success in the recent Flathead Tournament in Urunga. Nicola not only conquered her first-ever fishing competition but did so with style. Sam Dyball has been creating music his whole life, and his passion for art and music is contagious. Ellie Tree is a Councillor at Bellingen Shire Council and also a Youth Worker in the area. She has been a driving force behind YOUthSpeak and is here to share a bit about the project and the great success it has seen so far for our local young people.
