Smithy's Noticeboard Community

The local GY Choir is now opening to new members

If you like singing and want to improve your voice, or simply to have an excuse to sing on a regular basis, join us on Monday nights, 7pm to 8:30pm.

We happily welcome beginners just as much as experienced singers - our choir is about having fun! However, a long term commitment is a must. 

Call Max at 02040702266 for any further info

NEED YOUR CHIMNEY CLEANED?

We will be in the area and available 23^rd/24^th December

$95 inc GST for a chimney sweep and a fire box inspection.

All chimneys are cleaned from the ground up so no need to get on the roof.

There will be a hearing on Thursday 10 & Friday 11 December 2020 commencing at 10.00am

Crowne Plaza (Level 3), Beach Street, Queenstown

For those community members who have made submissions, it is important to attend the hearing, if you can, so that the commissioners hear your point of view and why you feel the way you do.

If you want to discuss or help on how to do this, call Bruce Farmer, 0221989109 until 4 December or Trish Fraser, 0274435241.  An opinion piece by Bruce is posted under Community News.

The pool will open on the 1st December!
We will be using the same lock this year therefore if you haven’t returned your key to the Trading Post please be honest and pay for the new season and let the girls know your key number.
We don’t get a lot of funding for the pool. The cost of the keys pays for the heat pump to keep the pool nice and warm.
A big thank you to Scott and Naomi Coates, Kay Mason, Ann Margaret Aitken and Kyomi for their volunteer help last year.
We are looking for some more helpers this year for taking covers off early morning and put on in evening etc. Please get in contact with Naomi 0274649182 if you’re able to help.

From the 1^st December 2020, only plastic recycled in New Zealand can go in your yellow recycling bin…
