What's On in Robertson - Robertson e-news October 2019

The October edition of the Robertson News is out now. Download it at www.robertson.nsw.au or pick up a printed copy from Monday afternoon at the Supermarket, Newsagent, Pharmacist or the CTC (at the box out the front or from inside) and later in the week from Pizzas in the Mist.
Robertson News is published every 2 months (printed and online).

Storytelling Group Sunday 29 September 3pm- 5pm at CTC@Robertson. Come along to tell or listen.

Why do people come along? To listen to stories and to tell stories. One person’s stories spark other people to tell their stories in their own time and at their own pace.

What kinds of stories? Life stories, stories of coincidence, amazing stories and stories which tell us we are not too different from one another. ‘Something like that happened to me…’ and off they go on another story.
Gold coin donation to pay for room hire. Tea and Coffee available. You will be welcome. Further information Michael Breen ph 4885 2180

Crop-Swap Every Saturday 9:00am – 10:00am @ The Robertson Bowling Club

Come to swap your home grown produce with others or just come, but be prepared to not walk away empty handed! There is always a welcoming and friendly atmosphere, and it’s a great place to meet people if you are new in town.

Come along to find out more about Crop-Swap and R.A.L.F.E. (the Robertson Alternative Local Food Exchange). Whether you are local or just passing through you are part of our community whilst you are here and you are welcome.

R.A.L.F.E. is about fresh, free, organic produce, grown by local farmers (ie householders), but mainly it’s about community.
