Congratulations to all those who attended the first Millwater Sports Day this January. The day was a raving success, with around 50 children attending and having a great time playing a variety of sports and making the most of the water slide – a wonderful effort again by Colin Roberts and his Roberts Café crew. A special thanks also to Paul Conroy for taking some wonderful pictures and allowing the use of one pic for the cover of this magazine. We are lucky to have such generous people in our community.

Doggie Disasters Road Safety There has been some concern shown among worried residents about the road safety of certain children and teenagers whilst using bikes, scooters and skateboards. While we lack dedicated areas for these activities to occur, it seems that some of our younger residents have taken an 'anywhere will do' approach and a number of them are doing so without any protection on their young heads. Given the speed that some locals, visitors and contractors still drive at around Millwater, and after a near-miss by one concerned resident, it would seem that a quick chat from all parents around road safety might be worthwhile. We don't want any serious harm coming to our valuable young people.
Congratulations to all those responsible dog owners who are cleaning up after their pooches. For those of you that aren't doing this, please lift your game. We all love our dogs and hate cleaning up after them, but it is a matter of showing respect for other residents so that public areas can be free from nasty surprises. It also seems to need mentioning that the playing fields on the Parkway are meant to be completely dog-free.
