MRM were on site at the Community Centre today (22nd July 2021) to install the new power pole and transformer.  Cables were upgrated and a new power box also installed.  We all endured the lack of power most of the day but it will be worth it... the next step is for solar panels and batteries!

WINTER SOLSTICE

Deferred for a second time!Loal ConroyThu, 22/07/2021 - 5:17pm

Unfortunately we have decided to defer the Winter Soltice bonfire yet again! It had been rescheduled for Sunday 25th July.

Due to the current Covid restrictions and concerns that visitors to North Arm Cove may impose to our area, we feel it appropriate cancel once again. Sincere apologies and hopefully we can resurrect this event in the not too distant future. :)

The Cove gets a facelift with new street signage.
