Parish Council has regretfully accepted Charlotte's resignation.

Charlotte has edited the Newsletter, researched and advised us on many tricky and legal issues, and has been the administration mainstay for Day Camp on the Community Support Trust. We will, of course, keep Charlotte involved.


The church looks lovely with flowers blooming, thanks to Joy's hard work. Thank you, Joy. The upkeep of the properties (Church Op shop and Manse) is in good hands, now that we have Peter Finlayson and his team on the job. Peter can often be seen inspecting the buildings with note-book in hand - Jobs to be Done - and he's getting them ticked off one by one. Over Christmas, ably supported by his wife, Janet, he put up the Christmas lights outside the church (and took them down) and then moved to water blasting the building. Our one and only stained glass window on the street frontage looks so much better now. Thank you Peter and Janet!

The vege garden is looking great and continues to produce fresh veges, thanks to the labours of Kevin Pringle and John Petersen. Any produce that cannot be used at the Manawa-kai Community Meals is given to the foodbank at Social Services.
