Cash mob
Cash Mob is this Saturday, October 27. The group will converge on a local retailer with the intention of spending $20, then after shopping get together for morning tea, this way two local businesses receive a little boost. There will be nine shopping vouchers given away thanks to supporting businesses. Meet out the front of the Post Office at 10am before heading off. We will be finished in time to visit the Lioness Open Gardens then relax on the Whale Festival’s Cruise on Cat Balou.
Family history
Bega Valley Genealogy Society will be holding its last meeting for 2018 at the Old Courthouse, Pambula Sunday, October 28, at 2pm. Visitors are welcome to participate along with members in ‘Pot Luck Day’, sharing interesting tales or items about family history uncovered when memories of relatives were stirred or unexpected documents or memorabilia surfaced from unlikely sources. Afternoon tea will be provided.
Market day
Nethercote will hold its spring produce market on Saturday, October 27 from 8am-noon. Fruit and vegie stalls will have plentiful supplies, there will be loads of eggs, Tilba cheese, honey, nuts, grass fed beef and lamb, chilli products, fresh flowers, oysters, bread and plant seedlings, all produced on Nethercote’s doorstep.
Invite a friend along and enjoy a cooked breakfast from the Nethercote Residents’ Association barbecue, or catch up over a coffee or tea with a delicious slice of home-made cake while listening to the foot-tapping live band Red Heart Blue.
Do you have some fresh home produce to sell but not enough for a stall of your own? You can sell it on our growers’ stall, from a bunch herbs to a crate of lettuce. Drop it into Nethercote Hall between 3 and 4pm on Friday afternoon or before 8am on market day.
This Nethercote Produce Market will be donating its profits to Bega Valley Farmers who have been doing it tough in the drought, which you can support by buying your morning cuppa from our morning tea stall, fruit and veges from the Growers’ stall or raffle tickets for the market hamper, which contains delicious goodies from all of our stallholders!
Doors open at 8am for the early birds looking for the top produce, and close at noon just after the raffle draw.
