Long serving Shire Council staff recognised By HARRIET GILMORE WARREN Shire Council paid tribute to a total of 24 long serving staff and councillors at their recent Christmas celebrations, including one dedicated worker who has clockedup an incredible 35 years! Dean Murray ﬁ rst started working at council on June 27, 1988, ﬁ rstly as a casual on the “town truck”, before obtaining a permanent position. Dean is now the permanent light truck driver for the town crew, but has also contributed to a number of other roles in his time. In his 35 years of service, he has relieved the Storekeeper and completed the Services Overseer ticket. He has also relieved at the Saleyards on the weighbridge, as well as having his concreting ticket and has completed numerous concreting and paving works in the shire. Councillor Kevin Taylor was also recognised at the awards, honoured with a Long Service Medal after 24 years of dedicated service as an elected official. Cr Taylor has served the Warren community since March 1999, and in his time has contributed to numerous committees including the Plant Committee, Work Health Safety Committee, Tourism Committee, Water and Sewer Committee, Sporting Facilities Committee, and the Strategic Planning/Policy Committee.

Hot, hot, hot! Fun and festivities at Warren Christmas Street Party By HARRIET GILMORE

Santa and his local helpers at the Street Christmas Party on Friday.

WARREN’S annual Street Christmas Party went off with a bang on Friday evening, despite an incredibly hot evening. Warren Shire’s General Manager Gary Woodman,said that Council was very pleased with the 500 locals who braved the heat for the funfi lled festive evening. “It was still about 35 degrees at 8pm, which did deter some from coming along, but it was pretty similar numbers to last year,” Mr Woodman said. “The highlight of the evening, a wonderful fi nish to the night, was the fi reworks display from Ryan Mason Engineering and sponsors,” he added. But, thankfully, the stifl ing hot night didn’t deter the number one attraction, Santa Clause, who relocated his photograph opportunities to the Community Rooms. “The performances from the Dreaming Drifters rock band, Warraan Widji Arts dancers and the Dance Experience junior and senior dancers were also wonderful. “The face painting was also incredibly popular. I don’t think I saw a child all evening who didn’t have their face painted.” The oppressive heat, he added, did not deter the children’s desire for some showy colours on the night. “They were lining up and ready to go, well before the scheduled start time.

This longevity was a testament to the commitment the shire has to lifelong learning for staff. “Council has had the philosophy of training employees, giving skills to enable the individual to improve themselves, their family life, whether it be with Warren Shire, or another organisation. This allows Council to become an employer of choice.” It was the same story for the local government area’s elected officials, he added. “Similarly, Council has a history of councillors serving the Warren Shire Community for many years, with Mayor Milton Quigley receiving a 15-year long service award having been a councillor to date for 19 years, and Councillor Kevin Taylor receiving his 20-year Long Service award having served as a councillor to date for 24 years,” Mr Woodman said.

Ready to race! The annual Twilight Races are on this Friday. PHOTO: WARREN STAR

By HARRIET GILMORE IT will be an evening full of family fun, music, markets, and ﬁ ne thoroughbred gallopers at the annual Twilight Races this Friday, December 15. The Sky One meeting kicks off a little after 2pm, with the ﬁ rst of six races running throughout the afternoon with entertainment well into the evening. Warren Jockey Club President Matt Colwell said that he was looking forward to the final race meet of the year, with plenty of fun and entertainment for the

whole family. “This year, as well as a cracking afternoon of racing, there will be Christmas markets with a great variety of stalls for some last-minute Christmas shopping,” Matt said. “There will also be a wine bar and tasting station by the fantastic Mudgee vineyard, Bunnamagoo, and for the kids there will be a jumping castle and a special visit by the VIP man himself, Santa Clause!” he added. This is only part of the celebration, with the excitement continuing after dark. “After the races wrap up,

DJ Luscious will kick off to keep punters up and dancing all evening. “So grab some mates, and come and celebrate the end of the year at the races,” Matt enthused. Racegoers also don’t have to worry about taking the car, with transport laid-on throughout the day. “Leanne Stephens will also be running a bus, to get punters to and from the track safely,” Matt said. “She’ll start pick-ups from 4.30pm from Uncle Clarries, the Post Office, JC’s Café, and the RSL,” he concluded.

There were a number of supporters who made the event the success that it was, he added. “A big thank you must go out to all of the sponsors who help us put on a show like this. “Thank you to Kevin Dwyer Freight, Warren Rotary, Golf Club, Macquarie Toyota, Paraway Pastoral, Nutrien Ag, Warren Jockey Club, the Services Club,

Strong ties and commitment to the district: new RDA chief gets a good look at Warren

During her visit to Warren last week, RDA Orana CEO Justine Campbell, who has strong family ties to the region, took time to show her colleagues around town, visiting local establishments and attractions including the Warren Museum and Art Gallery. PHOTOS: RDA ORANA. By HARRIET GILMORE DELIVERING on her promise to get out-and-about in the regions, the recently-appointed CEO of Orana Regional Development Australia (RDA) Justine Campbell toured Warren last week. Seeing ﬁ rst-hand what Warren has to offer, Ms Campbell and the RDA’s digital marketing specialist Kullanee Sasavat met with a number of Council officials. The two held meaningful discussions with Warren Shire Council’s General Manager, Gary Woodman, Warren Mayor, Councillor Milton Quigley, Deputy Mayor, Cr Sarah Derrett and Economic Development and Visitation Manager, Susan Balogh, about how the RDA can support Warren. “It was fantastic to be so welcomed to Warren after our invite from Economic Development and Visitation Manager Susan Balogh at the recent Orana Forum in Dubbo,” Ms Campbell said. “Discussions covered many topics and projects, identifying where RDA Orana can support, as well as sharing details on our upcoming projects. It was a very successful meet-

ing and I’m looking forward to working with Warren Shire on current and future projects,” she added. With strong links to the local community through her daughters who live in the region, Ms Campbell was delighted to showcase Warren to her team. “It was a great trip, as always, to Warren,” she enthused. “As well as the meeting, we enjoyed coffee at Ellerslie Lane and lunch at the Nevertire Hotel.” Recent additions to the local community were also a highlight, she said. “It was wonderful to show the team the Museum and Art Gallery such a fantastic new asset to the region. “We even had time for a quick shop, where I bought a spectacular hat from the incredible Lou Webb,” Ms Campbell added. Warren Council was also pleased to hear that Ms Campbell was already up-tospeed on key economic, tourism, and development areas for the town. Ms Balogh said that the discussions were lively, cooperative, and productive, covering topics as diverse as work-

force planning and retention, proposed future events and activities, as well as key tourism attractions and prospective infrastructure. This included the upcoming strategy for the Destination Macquarie Marshes Taskforce group aiming to shine a spotlight on the Macquarie Marshes as a key destination region. “In my dual role as Economic Development and Visitation Manager, I am thrilled to have had the opportunity to welcome Justine and Kullanee to Warren,” Ms Balogh said. “The warm reception I initially received from Justine has been further cemented during this visit,” she added. Ms Campbell’s ties to the district can only be beneﬁcial, she believes. “With a strong commitment and link to Warren Shire, the relationship with Justine and the RDA Orana team can only further assist Warren Shire Council to continue to strengthen and position the town, businesses, and residents towards a more prosperous and secure future. “The Economic Development and Visitation Office is an extremely slimline team compared to other Council

regions, so the support of regional partners such as RDA Orana on the Economic Development side and others such as Destination Country and Outback in the Tourism arena is a way to gain more coverage and support than could otherwise be covered by our small office,” she added. The relationship, she adds, should be a partnership of mutual benefit. “We, as Warren Shire, are keen also to contribute to the achievement of the goals and strategies of RDA Orana. “In the spirit of a true partnership, support must flow in both directions, and we are committed to assisting Justine in kicking goals for the region as well as our shire,” Ms Balogh said. During the meeting, Ms Balogh said that General Manager, Gary Woodman, had broached the possibility of securing RDA Orana support for their current grant application for the extensive main street beautification and improvement works. The 10-year master plan was recently opened to feedback from the community, and Mr Woodman presented to Ms Campbell and her team,

the proposed plans and activities that will be the focus of the project. Cr Quigley also led discussions about the need for close support of local businesses. Attendees agreed then that a “detailed, direct, and drilleddown” approach to this assistance would better support local businesses. In this, Council sought a commitment from the RDA Orana team to assist with links, referrals, and opportunities, in utilising this support for the Shire. Ms Balough said that another key area of growth identified was the need to develop Warren’s digital media presence. “Kullanee (RDA) and I were quick to jump onto some exciting and highly-visual marketing ideas to get our images and offerings out to the broader audience,” Ms Balough said.

Political News & Opinion COULTON’S ULTON’S CATCH TCH UP Comment ment by K COULTON, MARK Federal ral Member for Parkes arkes

Support for aged care in Broken Hill AFTER months of uncertainty, I’m pleased that Broken Hill’s sole aged care facility Southern Cross Care is set to receive $4.4 million in federal funding. I’ve been in discussion with representatives from Southern Cross Care and the office of the minister for aged care many times over recent months to stress the importance of this service to the people of Broken Hill. It’s my hope that this funding will assist Southern Cross Care to become sustainable into the long-term in spite of many stressors such as the stringent staffing requirements imposed by Labor on already stretched rural services.

Parliament is recalled PARLIAMENT was recalled to Canberra unexpectedly last week following the sad passing of Victorian MP Peta Murphy, with condolence motions put forward from

both sides of the house. During this week there was also debate in the chamber on environmental matters, and I supported a motion from the leader of the Nationals David Littleproud for greater safeguards around use of resources in the Great Artesian Basin.

It’s important to protect our resources, and until city-based parliamentarians realise that regional Australia is working to feed them and keep their lights on I will continue to speak up.

ROY’S OY’S OUND-UP ROUND-UP Comment mment by ROY Y BUTLER, te Member State for Barwon G’DAY folks, while parliament has ﬁ nished its sitting weeks for the year (the expression used is “parliament has risen for the year”) things continue apace. The last sitting week was, as I predicted, gruelling, with some late nights and moments where I was straight out of one meeting into another, with barely time to eat, rest or collect my thoughts. The last sitting week of the year is usually pretty busy, this one was no different. Last week the pace was less ma-nic, but there were still plenty of meetings, interviews, functions, and work to do. This week I will be able to head back out to the electorate again.

Movember tally YOU may have been following me on Facebook or have read in the papers about the bushy moustache that I grew over the course of November, to raise money for men’s health. The mo came to an end on November 30 when I ﬁ nally shaved it off. You will be pleased to know that my team and I raised over $2700 (my MoSpace site stays open until the end of the year so you can still donate. I want to thank all those who have kicked the tin, including several parliamentary colleagues. The Movember foundation funds research into mental health, prostate cancer, testicular cancer as well as funding organisations that reach out to men during treatment of illnesses. It’s a very worthy cause, because men die, on average four years earlier than women and Barwon has some speciﬁc problems when it comes to men’s health, given the state of the regional health system and the pressures on mental health during tough

times, like drought. I’m glad to see the mo gone, but I will be taking part in future Movembers.

St John Ambulance NSW DURING the last sitting week at parliament in November I went to a function organised for the St John Ambulance NSW. This is an amazing organisation made up of mostly volunteers who collectively give 236,000 hours of their time every year in NSW to look after others. St John is also a trusted provider of fi rst aid training. I fi rst did a St John fi rst aid certificate back in 1992. They have provided me and millions of others like me with life saving skills. This training not only saves lives but also saves our health system millions every year. Among the things discussed at the function was that fi rst aid training should be compulsory for all young drivers. Something to think about. I certainly believe that the more people know fi rst aid the better off we will all be.

What is Barwon? BEFORE the last sitting week was over, I delivered my last ‘Private Members Statement’ for the year, talking about Barwon and what the electorate is. Which may seem a strange thing to have to do, but there are people who still don’t understand the electorate, and what I mean when I say Barwon is different to other electorates and the level of disadvantage is also very different. Just to give some idea, it covers 44 per cent of the state, an area the size of Germany, it can take over 11 hours to drive from the western extreme to the eastern side. It has 13 local government areas and an unincorporated area. It has over 100 schools and pre-schools, 40 police stations, 27 hospitals and MPSs that are in four different local health districts. There are thousands of kilometres of roads, many unsealed. Getting from one part of the electorate to another can be diffi-

cult enough but can become impossible during floods, causing problems for people who need to travel for work, school, business or to transport produce and livestock. When I first came to office in 2019, the electorate was in the grip of a severe drought, which was broken by rains that brought a mouse plague, which was only halted by f loods. During this time, we were also dealing with a pandemic with health orders issued that didn’t take into account the peculiarities of Barwon. These issues consumed my time in my fi rst term, often the problem was making people in Macquarie Street understand the challenges faced in western NSW and how the disadvantage differs from western Sydney. For all their disadvantages people in western Sydney are never far from a hospital, parents don’t have to take children on a 100-kilometre round trip when the local bus service is running because one driver is ill, or the bus had broken down and there is no backup fleet. People in western Sydney don’t have to negotiate unsealed roads to get where they’re going. Most don’t know the frustrations of the kind of poor phone and internet connectivity that plagues much of Barwon. Western NSW has lower life expec-tancy, a deficient health system, youth crime and some substandard schools. I implored the government to make an effort to understand the disadvantages and work with regional areas and their representatives to help resolve some of these issues. The government is open to talking about the needs of the electorate and responding, but for many people who don’t get out west, it’s just not something they grasp.

Drought Relief DESPITE the rainfalls we are seeing around the state at the moment, we shouldn’t stop talking about what will happen during the next drought. Recently in parliament I moved a notice of motion asking that parliament keep in

mind that we should be prepared for drought and while I acknowledge the low-interest loans being offered by the government are a help, they are not the only solution. I urged them to also consider one-off grants to help struggling businesses and farmers.

Royal boxer WHEN my father (also named Royal Butler) died in 2003 I thought I knew almost everything there was to know about him. Ever since then I have found out more and more about his life, often by chance. Recently a relative came across some records printed out from the internet that related to Dad’s career as a boxer, fighting as an amateur before turning professional in 1949. That part we sort of knew but didn’t have the details. He fought in 12 bouts, with a record of nine wins, three losses and no draws. He won his fi rst professional fight aga-inst Norm Griffin, then won the next two before Griffi n beat him on points in his fourth bout. Most of his fights took place at the famous ‘Sydney Stadium’ including one against the great Carlo Marchini (he lost on a TKO) and his last against Jack Dempsey - not the famous American champ but the Australian of the same name - in December 1951. He lost that fight and sometime after decided that he could do more than box, enlisting in the Australian army to go and fight in Korea in 1953. It’s amazing what you can pull together about family members from the records and it’s amazing the lives that many of them had without letting us know all of the details.

Renewable energy and Australian manufacturing IN the last sitting week, the government put through its Energy Legislation Amendment bill. This established some of the administrative framework of the renewable energy zones, which presented the government with a great opportunity to kick along local manufacturing by building in

local content quotas. However, that opportunity has been missed and local investors who were ready to invest in locally made renewable technology, and the manufacturers who would have been able to beneﬁt, have been left hanging. One of the government’s election platforms was to give a boost to manufacturing in this state. I asked a question without notice of the deputy premier, Prue Car, how much longer these investors and manufacturers would have to wait for the government to instill conﬁdence in them by mandating local content for REZs. The deputy premier reiterated the commitment to bringing back manufacturing to NSW and said that the government would refer the issue of local content for REZs to the committee, Investment, Industry and Regional Development, of which I am chair. Hopefully this matter can be sorted out soon in favour of local manufacturing.

Investment, Industry and Regional Development Committee IT was my pleasure to chair the Investment Industry and Regional Development Committee last week in the NSW Parliament House. Committee work helps to inform government policy decisions, through ﬁ ndings and recommendations. I have a great committee from diverse political backgrounds that helps ensure different perspectives are heard. The secretariat (the people who make all this happen) are dedicated and diligent people. Without them, the ability for the public to inﬂuence priorities for the NSW government would be reduced. This session was dedicated to looking at whether the Regional Investment Activation Fund and Regional Job Creating Fund have been effective. Using $350 million of public money, it is important we understand if these funds delivered what they promised. I will keep you posted on the findings.

NSW Farmers call foul on buybacks By ANDREW TARRY THE NSW Farmers association has criticised the federal government and said that it’s clear the use of water buybacks will be a devastating sledgehammer to complete the Basin Plan. The federal government has said that the decision to use water buybacks is supported by the Productivity Commission’s Murray Darling Basin Plan Implementation Review. However, the NSW Farmers water taskforce chair, Richard Bootle has said that it is time the government put the sledgehammer “back in the rack”, because water buybacks were a blunt instrument which would hurt farmers and basin communities. “While this review has been welcomed by the usual conga line of campaigners whose bloody-minded pursuit of buybacks is both short-sighted and arro-

gant, the people on the ground are vehemently opposed. “Basin communities have sent a clear message to the federal government that they oppose buybacks and this rewrite of the Basin Plan, because they are living through the negative impacts,” Mr Bootle said. Mr Bootle also criticised the review for only looking at drinking water and not water needed for food production. This has absolved the federal government of any responsibility to ensure that the water needs of food production are met. “When the Basin Plan was ﬁ rst put in place the idea was that they would consider social, economic and environmental impacts, but we’ve seen the ﬁ rst two ignored. The federal government needs to stop and listen to farmers before going down the path of more buybacks given Australia is drying out by the day,” Mr Bootle said.

RFS benevolent fund to give back to firefighters and families By ANDREW TARRY A CHARITY created to provide support to Rural Fire Service (RFS) members and their families called the RFS Benevolent Fund has been formed and will now be available to help those impacted by RFS service. The RSF fund aims to assist RFS members, especially families of those who lost their lives or were injured or fell ill while serving in the community. “The establishment of the fund is a vital step in ensuring that our ﬁ reﬁghters, who

risk their lives to protect us, receive the care and support they deserve. We know that our volunteers give so much, protecting their communities and when called on, travelling long distances to support others in their time of need. “This is one way to show how much this is valued and ensure RFS members and their families have the support they need,” said minister for emergency services Jihad Dib. Recent catastrophic ﬁre events such as the devastating Black Summer ﬁres have

highlighted the need to support those that provide critical aid and service in the aftermath and recovery of these events. Nationwide response to the fi res has resulted in a total of $110 million in donations to the NSW RFS and Brigades Donations Fund, with $10 million channeled to establish the RFS Benevolent Fund. The fund is focused on supporting fi refighters and their families with charitable initiatives, “to keep the fund self-sustained and assist in raising additional resources”.

RFS commissioner Rob Rogers said “I congratulate and welcome all those who have joined the RFS Benevolent Fund Board, and I am pleased that members of the RFS will beneﬁt from the fund, as well as the families that allow our members to do what they do.” The fund is also collaborating with the NSW government’s ‘Return and Earn’ scheme with users of the scheme able to donate the money earned through recycling to the fund. The scheme has been very beneﬁcial for charities

since its inception with more than $47 million raised for charities and not-for-proﬁts.

When promoting the collaboration, Mr Dib said “partnering with the Return and Earn scheme is a great way for the fund to raise awareness and additional funds to become self-sustained and continue to support volunteer fi refighters and their loved ones”. The partnership will expire in April 2024 however, the support for those impacted by fighting fi res will continue.

New amenities block opens!

Warren Shire Council officially opened the new amenity blocks at the Lions Park last week.

Locals examining the new amenities block at the official opening last week.

Council workers on the barbecue for the opening of the new amenity block at Lions Park. PHOTOS: WARREN STAR. By ANDREW TARRY ON a hot blustery day several Warren shire councilors, workers, and some residents stood in the shade of a gum tree as mayor Milton Quigley gave a short address and officially opened the new amenities block. The event was held beside the new piece of infrastructure at the Lions Park, with the river ﬂowing past and everyone present taking in a cool drink under the leaves of the gum tree. The amenities block not only serves as an important piece of public infrastructure but also as an artistic attraction for locals and travelers alike. Adorning every side of the small building are large prints depicting a range of different

ﬂoods in the Warren shire over several decades. The collection is a reminder of the damage the often-peaceful river nearby can cause bit also of the resilience of the community to recover and rebuild from these events. After the opening was completed, the small crowd hung around for a barbeque lunch. The amenities block was made possible by a combination of donations from locals, council support and grant funding. A special mention from the council to Raymond Burns for putting in an enormous effort to ensure the implementation of the new addition to the Lions Park. Residents using the Lions Park playground facilities will now have a wonderful new public toilet available.

Inquiry launched on supermarket pricing By ANDREW TARRY A SENATE inquiry into the impact of market concentration and food prices and the pricing strategies employed by the major supermarkets has received support from all corners of the political spectrum. The inquiry which has been initiated by the Greens party, with cross party support in the NSW Parliament House and now the National Farmers Federation (NFF) has also announced that it supports a senate inquiry. Food is one of the clear essentials in life. No one can escape not eating without terrible consequences. How-ever, the rising cost of food is becoming increasingly harder to manage. The rise in interests and inﬂation has created a situation fraught with stress and frustration for many as they walk out of the supermarket having paid a lot for very little. One of the concerns leve-

led against the supermarkets earlier in the year when representatives from Coles and Woolworths were questioned by a federal government inquiry, is that profiteering may have occurred during the past 24 months of the inflationary period. One of the aims of the inquiry is to assess the impact that market concentration has on prices. Prices and market share can be tricky as it depends upon the type of product and that consumers are well versed in searching for alternative products at a cheaper price. This is especially the case with fresh fruit and vegetables and meat products. However, for packaged items, the products you ﬁ nd on the shelves, it appears that Woolworths and Coles dominate the market. Industry analysis of the Australian market argues that the Australian food retail sector has a high concentration

and predominantly comprises Woolworths 37 per cent, Coles 28 per cent, Aldi 10 per cent and Metcash (IGA) seven per cent. Together they account for over 80 per cent of the market. Another issue on the inquiry’s agenda is the profits these supermarkets have recorded in the last few years, especially during the current high levels of inflation. “Coles and Woolworths are making billions in profits because they feel that they can overcharge people without repercussions. It needs to end,” Greens senator Nick McKim said. NFF president David Jochinke said the inquiry was an opportunity to ensure small to medium farming businesses were being treated fairly by larger players. “Australia has one of the most concentrated food supply chains in the world and this imbalance in market power is hurting both farm-

ers and consumers. “We know what Australians are paying at the checkout, and we know what we’re receiving as farmers – but who clips the ticket in the middle is shrouded in secrecy. We’d like to see a lot more transparency,” Mr Jochinke said. Mr Fels, a former chair of the ACCC Australia’s market competition watchdog, has also stated that the stubborn duopoly is the main reason behind high grocery prices and a market with two big competitors involved it is easy for them to coordinate prices without acting illegally. In the last decade Aldi has made some headway in the market, increasing its share from three per cent in 2013 to 10 per cent in 2023. However, prices are still high. “This inquiry is a critical step toward dismantling the market concentration that’s led to unfair pricing and stiﬂed competition…We’ll ﬁ nd a

way to dismantle their power and bring grocery prices down,” said Mr McKim. The NFF are also calling for transparency beyond the supermarket inquiry. The federation have published a survey which, they say, shows the pressures on farmers with 34 per cent of vegetable growers considering leaving the industry. Events like the recent livestock crash haven’t been reﬂected in supermarket prices, Mr Jochinke stated. “We’ve seen this slow creep of consolidation take hold of our supply chains and we’re now in this really precarious position. “We need to make sure the rules are there to level the playing ﬁeld because it’s currently tilted heavily against the farmer,” said Mr Jochinke.

By HARRIET GILMORE WARREN’S Cricket Blast junior cricket six-week program wrapped up last week, but that’s not the end for local kids. More than 30 children aged ﬁve-to-ten-years-old joined in for the ﬁ rst junior cricket program in Warren for a number of seasons, thanks to local mum, Karene Cosgrove and a dedicated team of volunteers and parents. Mrs Cosgrove said she was so pleased to be involved in bringing cricket back to Warren, but added that she couldn’t have done it without the support of many hands. “A huge thank you to all of the parents, carers, and volunteers for your help and

support in making the sessions run so smoothly, and for bringing your kids along to Cricket Blast,” she said. “A massive thank you also to all of the children who came along, for all of their enthusiasm. I hope you had fun and enjoyed learning some new skills,” she added. But the end of the Cricket Blast program isn’t the ﬁ nal word on junior cricket in Warren, with the revival set to continue with a skills session happening next week and more cricket on the horizon for 2024. Matt Ellis from Cricket NSW will also be returning to Warren next Friday, December 22 to host a skills session and game for primary school kids. “The session is only $30, and is open to all children

in Years Three to Six, regardless of whether they participated in the Cricket Blast sessions,” Matt said. “Registration is essential so please get in touch with me and I can share details,” Karene added. This won’t be the end of the great junior cricket revival, she explained. “We also have more cricket in the pipeline for 2024, which is so exciting. “We are still working out exactly what it looks like, but the Warren Junior Cricket Club has been revived, and we hope to have more games and opportunities in the new year. So watch this space, and if you have children interested in cricket, please get in touch,” Karene concluded.
