Trundle Branch of the Royal Far West Children’s Health Scheme held an old time/new vogue dance on Sunday, September 2 at the Memorial Hall Trundle.

Dancers from Forbes, Nyngan, Dubbo and Eumungerie enjoyed a wonderful social afternoon dancing to the live music played and sung by Phil Redenbach.

Everyone feasted on a sumptuous afternoon tea provided by the Trundle Branch of Royal Far West and the dancers.

The Forbes Dancing Group meets on a Wednesday night at Forbes Uniting Church Hall, for dancing and social interaction at a cost of $3 per person.

A cheque for $250 from excess funds (after paying rent and insurance) was presented to Royal Far West Children’s Health Scheme Trundle Branch.

This money will go towards implementing the “Come and See programme at both Trundle Schools.

The programme provides literacy and numeracy tuition weekly on a one to one basis. Forbes Dancers welcome newcomers to join them.

Tullamore Central School

At Tullamore Central School the Secondary students will this week head off on a week long excursion fully funded by Epping Boys High School in Sydney.

Also at the school, the soccer team happily received a donation from Cowan Public School which will benefit all students to subsidise major coming excursions. Hamper items were also donated and will be distributed to the school families.

A wonderful gesture from Cowan Public School and their community.

Tullamore support for our farmers are still going strong. Any ideas are welcome to be posted at www.facebook.com/pg/doingitforourfarmerswithjessskinner.
