Brigade News
Despite the strong winds of the past week, it is still a great time to do some hazard reduction burning and getting rid of those windrows or fallen branches and leaves. Remember, you need to have your name on the burns list at the Yass Fire Control Centre (contact 6226 3100 during business hours).
Before lighting up, notify your neighbours and send a text message to the duty phone (0438 298 271) with your name and address. Just remember to please check the weather conditions first - a good website for wind speed and time is www.wind.willyweather.com.au and then follow the links.
Training is still underway during the winter months and the station is open every Tuesday evening. If you would like any information about property protection, joining the brigade or training, come along from 7pm any Tuesday evening.
The Brigade has also paid tribute to the late John Divall, a long-serving volunteer and life member and a stalwart of the Towrang community. Your knowledge, expertise and smiling face will be sorely missed.
Towrang Hall available
The Towrang Hall has been utilised a number of times so far this year for various functions, including a wedding reception. If you are looking for a low-cost venue for your baby shower, birthday party or a meeting place, please send an email to towrangnoticeboard@yahoo.com.au and we will be in touch.
Towrang Tavern
The Towrang Hall is opening its doors on Friday, July 26 for this month's Towrang Tavern night. Come along, bring your meal if you wish, some drinks and nibbles and have a great catchup with friends and neighbours. A couple of pieces of wood each and we will have a great fire burning to warm us all.
