Well, well, Clarence Town – haven’t we had a cracking couple of months! This edition of The Sentinel lands with a splash – in full colour. What better way to reflect the vibrancy of Clarence Town and surrounds than with pages that now match the energy of the people who fill them?
Despite record-breaking rainfall soaking Clarence Town – with March alone topping 240mm – the tennis courts got a much needed facelift, the churches served up soul and pancakes, and local schools packed their terms with everything from lava lamps and robotics to elite sport and public speaking success.
May and June are set to be busy across the district, with Youth Week activities bringing science to life – from the hidden world of soil microbes to a stargazing night under the autumn sky. Thanks to the Dungog Shire Council’s Youth Week Grants, there’s something for every curious young min.
The Lions Club are in full swing with their Mother’s Day Raffle, a community morning tea for cancer research, and the ever-popular markets at month’s end. It’s a big couple of months for a small but mighty crew.
There’s momentum everywhere you look. This issue is a reflection of that – not just a newsletter, but a snapshot of a community thinking forward, showing up, and getting stuck in.
If you’ve got a community event or newsworthy tidbit to share, I’d love to hear about it! Drop me a line at thesentinel2321@gmail.com
Until next edition x Cathy Schneider
