Coming up
We have all the regular weekly events(see the table below) along with the following:
🤝 This week is Meet and Greet week, and this Friday it will be hosted by the Dance Groups, so come along and have some fun from 4:00pm

🏍️ Are you a Motorcycle Rider? Vinnie has written in this week to let people know that “Every Thursday morning at 10 am (winter) 9am (summer), we meet at the caravan park(ing), Ride destination can be anywhere, all riders welcome.”
On the Grapevine
The Residents Info Service had a little makeover this week, and it’s already sparked a few requests for new “About Us” pages. It seems plenty of groups want to share what they’re up to — which is fantastic.
If you’re part of an activity or group and would like others to know what you do, just send us a few words. We’ll happily put together a page for you to review, and help spread the word.
🎯 OCR Residents at Trivia Night
Our OCR crew is still showing up in great numbers at the Lake Cathie Bowling Club’s Tuesday Trivia — and doing us proud.
Word is one of the teams were back in the top three again this week, keeping the friendly rivalry alive and well.
🛒 Our “New” Shopping Centre… or is it?
So… the rumour mill was working overtime at Happy Hour last night. Somewhere between the last sip and the “time to head home” stage, we heard that ALDI is going in across the road and will be finished in six months.
Now… how reliable is my source? Let’s just say it was late in the evening and spirits were high — make of that what you will.
Is there anyone out there who actually knows what’s happening with the new shopping centre? If you’ve got the inside scoop, the residents would love to hear it.
In the Kitchen
This week we have a bonus in the Kitchen.
Two recipes for the same price as one. They come from Merv at house 232.
Do you have a special recipe that you created or that is handed down through the family?
If you do, and are prepared to share it, please email it to [email protected] ‘
