Taroona Community Association news
Calendar
As the days become shorter and the nights lengthen, we have time to reflect on all the jolly good things we have happening in our community. It’s time to sit on the couch with a cup of tea in front of a warm fire and read the winter issue of the Taroona News.
June
The most exciting news is about the inaugural Taroona Art Trail, an initiative of the Taroona Environment Network, which is to be held on Saturday 19 November featuring works by artists and community groups. This will be an exciting event not to be missed, which will build community spirit, stimulate creativity and celebrate Taroona’s beautiful coastal environment. Come along to an information session on 30 June to learn more! Did you know that the local Taroona under 11s Princes Soccer Team have featured in The Mercury recently after inviting Princess Mary of Denmark to be the team patron? They also invited Prince Christian to join them in a soccer game when he next visits Taroona. We’ll all be there to watch that game! The Chiton, our St Ayles rowing skiff, has been very busy hosting community rowing mornings off Taroona Beach. It was even seen at the New Norfolk Autumn festival with a hardy crew rowing in the upper reaches of the Derwent. I would like to say that they rowed all the way from Taroona, but it was the sturdy new trailer, funded by the Tasmanian Community Fund, that assisted in the boat’s transport to the event! Once again we have a diversity of news about events and Race you to the Alum Cliffs! happenings, from the Giant Book Sale in mid-July, a fermenting workshop, sports events and club updates, TEN working bees, school reunions, solstice events and more. This is what true community is about. Jill Hickie , Co-Chair, TCA
