Bus Booking Reminder

Please remember when booking a bus trip

  1. Only put your name down if you are sure you are going, and pay your $5.00 at the same time.
  2. If you put your name down and don’t go, you will forfeit your money if you do not give sufficient notice for someone else to take your place.
  3. You don’t have a seat on the bus until you pay, as you are stopping someone else going.
  4. We have to be fair to everyone, giving all a chance to enjoy a bus outing and some exciting ones are coming up.

Thank you from the Social Committee – looking forward to enjoying more events

Keeping it green!

Anyone who had Council supplied big Green Bins where they lived prior to PLB, will know how much better they are than having two or three bags, some boxes etc for green waste, so it’s great that we now have them here! So much easier to just have one place to put all that garden rubbish.

As you’ve heard from PLB Office this week, we need to make sure that we keep those bins GREEN and only put the GREEN stuff in them, otherwise it costs us more! Please make sure that there are no food scraps, doggie bags or anything else that isn’t GREEN in those fabulous bins.

Library News

Thanks to the Residents’ Committee we now have some funding on a regular basis for new books.  The new purchases  have been put at the back of the Library on the shelf labelled “New Acquisitions”. These books are labelled inside acknowledging the help of the Residents’ Committee.

We have also had some donations of new books read by residents, for which we are most grateful.  If donating books, we would prefer residents to put them in a bag labelled ‘Donations’ and your name (if you wish) and pop them into the Returns Box.  Again these books are labelled inside as donations and put up the back.

Our library is very well used. In June we had 396 borrowings.  We would request all borrowers to sign the books, etc in and out in the register and  please put the returns (or donations) in the returns box.

Any good seconds of books go to the library in the Old Clubhouse. These can be borrowed but also do not have to be returned if required for a holiday, etc.

Many thanks from the Librarians: Terri Clark, Villa 7, tel.2407 and Sue Christie, Villa 68, tel.2468
