After seeing one of the Security Men lurking in the car park this morning, as I was parking my car, it alerted me to the fact that “it is that time”. I purchased my parking permit today at the price of $92.00 for the year and the car parks will be monitored from Monday 15 Feb.

Don’t get caught out.

Hello All

Just this morning I received a letter of thanks from the City Mission, for our wonderful contribution for their Christmas hampers. We turned up at the right time, as they had just run out of Christmas items to stock up the hampers. Again thanks for your wonderful support for this incredible organisation.

Here is a copy of the letter.
