Community ideas wanted

The Bays Community Group is seeking ideas to build on the community spirit that developed as a result of the Bulls Hill road closure.

Vice-president Mr Greg McMullen said: "Over the next few weeks we are looking to talk to as many individuals as we can to gather ideas about the community group, its wonderful hall and how we can bring people together for good times, not just when there is a crisis or problem.

"These ideas could encompass social, educational, practical and environmental ideas and appeal to any age groups and situations in the community - kids, adults and older folks alike.

"We are looking to create a shortlist of ideas and then put these out to the community as a whole to gauge which are the most popular.

"We are also trying to recruit new volunteers to join the community group and to help put the top ideas in to practice."

Mr McMullen said the executive committee had some ideas for attracting more people to the area.

"So far, we've focused on the first of these events having run a social event to celebrate the road opening, pestered people over their monthly breakfast and relived our youth at the kids disco," Mr McMullen said.

"It's been a great experience for us and we've been presented with ideas as wide ranging as a kids-youth group, weekend newsagents-coffee shop, kayaking club, men's sheds and a mothers and bubs club.

"We're still collecting ideas so we're interested in anything that you can come up.

"But we're also looking for volunteers who might be interested in giving a little time to help run and organise some of these clubs and activities for the benefit of all.

"Let's see if we can all get involved to keep the spirit of the road closure alive."
