Now it is not necessary. The Wi-Fi is installed through the support of the brigade and is available for all to access in the central village and park area. If in the village, just turn up with your computer, use your Wi-Fi network settings to find 'Goulburn Free WiFi' and connect through that site. 

If there is sufficient interest, there is a possibility that the hall could be opened for a couple of hours once a week after school hours to assist local students. Please send an email to towrangnoticeboard@yahoo.com.au if you would be interested in this option so that we can gauge the amount of interest in this idea.

If you are accessing this service, please do not park near the fire station. Access is required to this area at all times.

The Towrang Valley Progress Group is conducting a competition to develop a sign for the entrances to the Village. We have been offered some stones for the use of the sign – now we need some artistic people to submit their designs. The designs need to be suitable for use on stone, be serviceable (ie not have to be maintained every 12 months) and representative to  our area. They could be painted, timber, rocks or metal. Send your design and details to Geoff Pearson at geoffpearson@live.com.au

There are a number of new residents in the area. If you are interested in joining the brigade or just need some information on fire protection or hazard reduction, please come along on a Tuesday evening from 7.30pm when the station is open for training, maintenance, administration and getting ready for the next fire season. Someone is always available to answer your questions.

Hazard reduction is taking place throughout the area. Keep going before the winter winds and rain arrive. Just remember you need to contact Yass Fire Control on 6226 3100 Monday-Friday, 9am-2pm to get your details placed on the burns list. Please note that if you intend to burn off, or even have a large pile burn/bonfire on a weekend, you need to have rung before 2pm on the Friday. Don't forget to advise your neighbours 24 hours beforehand. Lastly, send a text message to the brigade duty phone (0438 298 271) stating you are about to light up and leave your name and address.

Towrang has its own souvenir t-shirts for sale (see photo). They are $20 and are in limited numbers and sizes but more can be ordered. Please contact Sue Pearson on susanpearson@live.com for details.

This is how we keep you informed:

The 'Tavern' gathering for this month will be on Friday, June 30 from 6.30pm. We are having a huge bonfire and have decided to have a Winterfest to mesh with the winter solstice. Tony Redman will be cooking up some wonderful warming stews and there will be some fantastic desserts on offer. Cost for the night is $10 per head. Please RSVP to Geoff Pearson at geoffpearson@live.com.au by Friday, June 23 with numbers for catering purposes.

Bring your own drinks and don't forget the kids or visitors.
