Notice

GWM Water, in partnership with Central Goldfields Shire is inves ga ng the feasibility of extending the Wimmera Mallee Pipeline to provide water to rural proper es in parts of the Pyrenees, Northern Grampians and Central Goldfields Shires. Pyrenees Shire Council secured $300,000 from the Victorian Government for a feasibility study currently underway and a business case due by the end of 2023. The study is considering op ons to provide a reliable rural water supply, u lising exis ng water infrastructure where possible and indica on of the level of interest. A piped water supply could provide significant environmental, social and economic benefits to the region, improving access to water for drought affected communi es and expanding Victoria’s water grid. The focus is on supplying non-potable water (nondrinking water) to increase the produc vity of agricultural and vi cultural sectors and for water to maintain urban green spaces. Landholders with an interest in water connec ons are being encouraged to lodge expressions of interest with details about this process and the project background being available at h ps://gwmwater.org.au/swnepstudy

A dona on of assorted cards has arrived at the Op Shop. Due to the closure of a card shop, a lovely big basket of new cards which are s ll in their cellophane wrappers, are for sale at miniscule prices. It is quite helpful to have a selec on of cards at home. Firstly, because our very local places do not have always have a card for our specific purpose, or the ones they may have are not to our taste.

Secondly, because the post can be unreliable, it is nice to send a card off when you think of it, or when you glance at your calendar and ‘lo and behold’ wri en in bright red texta, which no seeing person could possibly miss, is a birthday date! No problem if you keep a variety of cards and some stamps at home.

Are you doing some winter entertaining? Quite a few of us have birthdays to celebrate midwinter. Pla ers for pre-dinner nibbles, bowls for crisps and salads are always available at the Op Shop. Glasses and even a couple of bowls suitable for winter punch, as well as pla ers that have a special place for the dip and another sec on for biscuits.

Winter punch: mix cranberry juice, orange, pineapple and pomegranate juice into your punch bowl and add the bubbles of apple cider and ginger ale, with half a cup of frozen berries, as the guests arrive. For whatever else you may wish to add, the Op Shop has measuring devices in the kitchen sec on (first ves bule on the right as you come in) to add the right quan ty of the expensive liquids. Glasses? We have very few actual sets, that is the nature of glassware. However, if everyone has a glass of individual design it will save on the washing up! We have wash-up dish drainers in the Op Shop kitchen sec on too, of course.
