Narromine – 2020
Plans are coming together for our great peregrination to Narromine via Bathurst, Dubbo and Trangie to bring good cheer and support to this drought ravaged area of NSW.
We are in active discussion with the Rotary Club of Narromine on how best to work in the area and have canvassed many options.
In addition to the funds budgeted by the Club we have received a generous donation from AHHA (Australian Health and Humanitarian Aid) and have raised money from bucket collections at Frans Buskermolen’s 80th Bash, Mounties Melbourne Cup Function and at Dr Bob Groat’s Fairfield Veterinary Hospital.
Planning is underway for Club members to visit the Narromine District on Thursday 12th, Friday 13th, and Saturday 14th of December – returning on 15th December.
It is recommended that members who are going book at the Narromine Rockwall Tourist Park - 69 Mitchell Highway, Narromine
Large camping sites, spa cottages and ensuite cabins available.
Our current plan is to:
Distribute books to the Primary and Pre Schools in both Trangie and Narromine;
Distribute small Christmas to Children at the schools;
Make donations to the “Hardship Funds” maintained by the 6 Schools in the District;
Provide $50 vouchers that will be redeemable at businesses in the District, these will be distributed by the local CWA and St Vincent de Paul and administered by Rotary Club of Narromine.
Host a Free BBQ/ Sausage Sizzle on Friday Evening 13th December in Tom Perry Park, on the corner of the main street (where the Glenn McGrath statue is located).
On Saturday 14th December travel to Pine Grove (37 km out of Narromine) where RC of Narromine is catering with their Food Van at a Clearing Sale. This will give members a good look at the dry farms and the opportunity to speak with local farmers.
Saturday evening is the local Carols by Candlelight in the Grounds of the Uniting Church and a Christmas Dinner will be arranged for those going.
