   Need a Technician that’s ‘Hi-Tech’ but speaks plain English? You’ve come to the right place.
   I’ve been in the Electronics Repairs Industry for over 40 years and if I don’t know about
   it, it’s probably not worth knowing, so give me a try.

   I’m happy to do both. Whether you need a screen replacement or help to unlock your
   device from iCloud, I can help. In many cases you WON’T need to spend hundreds or
   thousands on a new one, call me first :)

   All Model iPhones and iPads:

   2. Settings up a new printer
   3. If you don’t get NBN or Broadband, I can show you how to get Mobile Internet instead
   4. Other PC repairs for virtually any brand of computers including HP, Dell, Toshiba, Acer
   & ANY Brand
   5. I can do RAM upgrades to practically all PCs, which helps to improve the device speed.
   6. I can advise / setup / install a variety of Virus Protection Software on most computers
   7. If you’re a business, don’t be shy…I could save you thousands…really!

                                                        LAKE MUNMORAH PROGRESS ASSOCIATION
                                                        Central Coast Council has advised that a
                                                        thorough investigation has been conducted of
                                                        two potential sites along Colongra Bay Road
                                                        for the new skate park and recreation facility.
                                                        Due to the close proximity of residents and
                                                        sensitive vegetation on both sites, Council
                                                        searched for another suitable site within Lake
                                                        Munmorah. The parcel of land at the corner
                                                        of Tall Timbers Road and the Pacific Highway
                                                        was selected in preference to the existing
                                                        skate park site. This site has been selected for
                                                        various reasons including close proximity to
                                                        the Woolworths Shopping Centre, adequate
                                                        distance from residential areas and good
                                                        visual surveillance from the road. Council is
                                                        undertaking a tender process for the design
                                                        contract and early next year, members of the
                                                        Community will be invited to be involved in
                                                        the design process.
                                                        Council has also advised that completion
                                                        of the pathway from the BP Service Station

                                                        Year. $985,000 has been allocation for this
                                                        stage and it will take approximately 16 weeks
                                                        to complete.
                                                        Members of the Association enjoyed a great
                                                        Christmas dinner at the Lake Munmorah

                                                        friendly staff. There will be no meeting of the
                                                        Association in January. Next meeting 12th

  SUMMERLAND POINT/GWANDALAN TIDY TOWNS & LANDCARE
Happy New Year to all - welcome to 2019. Our working bees co-incided with Christmas and New Years
Days, so thanks to all our volunteers who made the effort to do a bit of work on different days. Also, a
big thanks to Summerland Artists and the Gwandalan and District Arts & Craft Group for their continued
support. It is great to see community groups working together to improve the lives of our residents in
different ways. There has been more upgrading of the gardens at Nurses Corner and our mowing teams
are now fully occupied in the parks, reserves and roadsides. There was another break in at the council
compound before Christmas, but we are no longer storing equipment there. The council sheds there
were also broken into. If you have any enquiries about Tidy Towns you are welcome to call 4976 1558
for information or come and meet us at morning tea in Maddison Reserve, Summerland Point around
10:00 a.m. on Tuesdays. New volunteers will be made most welcome. Smithy (Publicity Officer).

   “The Fun Club”
Wyee Probus Club continues to enjoy our
many activities. Over the past few weeks we
have visited the Hunter Valley, we have played
Barefoot Bowls, had a few picnics - where we
                                                          CAR WRAPS                   OUTDOOR BANNERS
play “armchair quoits” and Bocce - and we have
                                                         VEHICLE SIGNAGE             PROMOTIONAL ITEMS
travelled by public transport to Manly for the
day where we had fish and chips by the beach.            SHOP FRONTS                  EMBROIDERY

Earlier in the year we travelled by coach to             LARGE FORMAT PRINTING       GARMENT PRINTING
Macksville for a 5 day break. This included daily        CORFLUTE SIGNS              STUBBY COOLERS / MUGS
sightseeing trips and fun and entertainment in           INDOOR / OUTDOOR SIGNS      CUSTOM STICKERS

had a wonderful few days away, so good in fact
that we have booked a similar trip for 2019. At                  WWW.OZTC.COM.AU
our last meeting we unveiled a new Club banner

                                                       STUMPED
which was organised by two of our members
and at our last picnic at Vales Point our banner
was used for the first time. Probus Clubs are
designed for Fun, Friendship and Fellowship for
retired and semi retired people. We have found                                 Stump Grinding
that many people who have joined our Club are                                  & Tree Removal
looking for a social outlet and activity in their
retirement and all our members have benefited                                   Had a tree cut down
from the companionship and just getting out and                                 but now stuck with
enjoying the friendships that have been made.                                       the stump?
