Our State Government election will have been held whilst this edition was being printed, hence no election coverage at all!!
What a launch for 2015! . . . . Have you made, any New Year resolutions? I would really like time to go a tad slower!

NO DEBUTANTE BALL IN 2015:
The Debutante Ball, previously set for March 7th., will not be going ahead for 2015. This was due to insufficient ‘Debs’ coming forward to participate.
Is this the end of an era? These days there are ‘graduation’ ceremonies being run for all different levels of schooling – pre-school to primary school, primary school to high school . . . and more. Are these taking over from the concept of a Deb Ball?
OR Perhaps it is down to timing? The call-out for ‘Debs’ in the later half of 2014 may have been at an already busy time with school formals and other end-of-year events on the agenda – school, social and family – not to mention the costs impacts of all of the above!
