Toomulla News

There has been over a metre of rain so far this year and everything is growing like crazy. Many residents are finding it difficult to keep lawns and gardens under control and unfortunately some non-resident owners have left things to nature with several overgrown blocks spoiling the ambience of our wonderful seaside community. Thanks to the City Council for doing its bit on public land. The Community Christmas Parties for both the adults and kids were a hit for 2022. Santa arrived and handed out lots of presents for all the kids. Those who chose not to attend the adult party missed out on a great night. Thanks to the Community Association Committee for the hard work in ensuring that everyone enjoyed both events.

Australia Day was a very successful day with around 40 people in attendance having lots of fun. There was a Trivia Quiz, Tug-A-War, and Cricket and all enjoyed a deliciously cooked BBQ by Rudi, Mick and Brett. Cr Ryder was sick, so Cr Russ Cook stood in for Margie and she did a fantastic job along with choosing the winner of the kids colouring in contest. It must be said that many of the 100 or so residents who did not attend the Christmas or Australia Day events probably have little interest in improving the community and this is a great shame.

The Lucky Number Competition continues to be popular. Winners so far this year are 98 Mick, Drew Anderson and Darryn Grady. Each have taken home the weekly prize of $50. Long-time resident Pam Griggs has sold up and moved into town to stay with her family while her unit at Villa McCauley is being renovated. Pam has always been very supportive toward the Community Association and we wish her well in her new surroundings. A big welcome to Brett and Kelly who have purchased Pam’s house. We also welcome several other new residents and owners and hope you will become active members of our lovely community.

The ‘Meet your Councillor’ get togethers are proving popular and Cr Ryder should be congratulated for keeping the Community informed on many matters of interest. The most recent one in Toomulla Park on Saturday 25th February was after this column had to be submitted but we urge all residents to take advantage of the next meeting to update your knowledge on what is happening in our area. This is also a great opportunity to raise issues of concern with our local councillor.
