APOLOGIES TO MATILDA SERVO

You can buy phone credit at Dayboro’s Matilda Service Station! 

We had been misinformed.  The problems they had been experiencing were not the same as the Dayboro Newsagency/IGA. i.e. BillExpress are not their provider.

Yes folks!  This didn’t just go away!!

I intend going along to the Biosphere meeting mentioned in the Mt Mee News article on page 22.  (Unfortunately this all went down too quickly to be advertised.  The meeting was organised for October 4th and this edition won’t be out by then!  I was able to put the information about the meeting on our website:  www.dayborograpevine.com.au so it is a good idea to check this site regularly!)

I can definitely relate to the statement that “Those who attended the meeting held in Dayboro a few months ago emerged little the wiser” from Ian Wells’ Mt Mee News . . . and so too the opinions expressed in S Durley’s Letter to the Editor (page 4).  I especially agree with this statement: “I believed after the meeting that such a vague proposal would die a natural death.”

Apparently there were many public meetings held throughout the region.  I wonder just how informative the rest of them were?  Did other communities think it would ‘die a natural death’ too??

So I’ll be heading off to, hopefully, become more informed about the Biosphere project. 

Council have obviously been won over on its merits.  They have had representatives on the steering committee and, according to Cr Bob Millar, the funding is to the tune of $50,000.  (This was in response to the “$200,000 over 2 years” that is mentioned in the Mt Mee News, when I contacted Cr Bob Millar about the issue last week.)                                                                 Doreen.
