What a glorious weekend past with so many activities in and around Forbes to do and see. I spent Saturday at the Bedgerabong Races, watching Security Code set a track record and sang happy 80th to one of Bedgerabong’s old timers, Dan Herbert. On Sunday morning I joined many walkers in the Walk to D’Feet MND around Lake Forbes.

Councillor Susan Chau and I are attending the Australian Local Government Women’s Association NSW Annual Conference until tomorrow. This will be a great experience and we will be attending a number of workshops throughout the conference. 

Please join us in celebrating Forbes Heritage 2017 next week. There are a number of events to attend including Discovering our Doctors interpretive panels at the Forbes Medical Centre on Monday, May 8, a trivia night at the Forbes Services Memorial Club on Tuesday, May 9 and the Heritage Presentation Evening at the Town Hall on Wednesday, May 10. To register your attendance, call Council on 6850 2300.

If you are interested in having a say on what programs and services the Forbes Library should provide into the future, a Forbes Focus Group is being created. The first meeting will be held on Thursday, May 11 at the Forbes Council Chambers. You can confirm your interest by sending an email to mail@forbes.nsw.gov.au or calling Council on the above number.

Have a great weekend, Cr Jenny Webb
