Pilot Station Friends Newsletter November 2011

Dear friends,

Welcome to our November newsletter keeping you up to date with what’s happening at the Pilot Station.  We are very excited about Summer Writing Classes on December 10 & 11.  Jonathon Drane is an award winning author who is offering his Summer Writing Classes in the Boatshed.  I highly recommend these classes to assist you find that hidden author within. Booking through the College on 6559 6699.

It has been a while since I last wrote to you and much has been happening in the way of maintenance and landcare.  Our guests have all been very complimentary as to the standard of presentation of the cottage and surrounds when they arrive.  Ian and Diann deserve special mention as to the high standards achieved.

Ken has nearly finished painting the internal architraves and doors and frames in between guests visits and the cottage is looking in very good condition.  He has also reinstated the parking bays and cleared the immediate weeds on the outskirts of the lawn area. 

The Landcare group worked hard in between showers and rain and the forest area is looking particularly good.  The weeds management team from Port Macquarie/Hastings Council were very high in their praise when they visited the Pilot Station to assist map our problem weeds and plan our next target areas.  The Landcare group is having a well earned break until next year when it is a little cooler.

If you have any ideas for events at the Pilot Station or would like to become involved in our history project or Landcare please contact me.

Cheers,

Ross
