This is a Reminder and a Call to Arms (figuratively)

A Reminder: Remember that we are holding the Christmas Picnic in the Park at St Clair this Sunday from 12 midday on.  There will be events for children and a sausage sizzle for those who don’t want to bring a picnic lunch.  Don’t forget your wallet or purse as we are always looking for donations to supplement our costs in running this campaign.

“A Call to Arms”: As a consequence of Minister John Hill’s hasty decision, Charles Sturt council will now be reconsidering their decision to approve the Land Swap, at the council meeting next Monday evening (14th December, 2009) at 7.00pm.

Therefore we need residents to turn up to this meeting to once again put councillors under pressure when revisiting their previous decision.  Again, we should be disciplined at the meeting but not ashamed to voice our objection if they simply vote to proceed as they did previously.

We urge you to get in touch with all your friends and neighbours and encourage them to turn up to the meeting.  This time we do not intend holding a rally however the recently formed St Clair RRA Choir will be singing a number of specially “reworded” Christmas songs with a St Clair “flavour” before the meeting.  Be there early to join in.

Let as many people know about these two events as you possibly can.  See you all on Sunday.

Save St Clair     Save St Clair      Save St Clair

Did you ever believe that Hill’s review would find anything other than rubber stamping Gago’s decision?

By now you will be aware that Minister Hill has approved the St Clair land swap again in record time and passed it back to the Charles Sturt Council for decision at their meeting on December 14, 2009.

Everyone come along to our sausage sizzle at St Clair Park on Sunday 13 December at 12pm to catch up with your fellow members and enjoy our specially created Christmas Carols presented by our community choir!!

· Dress up as Mayor Anderson; prizes for the best impersonation on the day!

· Children’s Treasure Hunt

· Other activities

The St Clair Reserve Ratepayers Association Committee will outline a range of alternative strategies for your input and consideration leading up to Council and State elections. But most of all, we will enjoy St Clair Park and being part of a strong and vibrant community!

Of course, don’t forget to come to the Council meeting at 6.30pm Monday and remind your forgetful Councillors of who they are here to represent!
