The 2013 Clunes Booktown Festival again drew thousands to our town over the weekend and once more demonstrated

the amazing community spirit alive and well here to pull off such a great event. Creative Clunes and the Festival Team

issue their heartfelt thanks to all who helped with the event – from helping out at the information and entry tents to

erecting marquees, lugging tables and chairs and moving hay bales, to mention just a few of the myriad jobs volunteers

signed up for. The Sunday night pack up crew working in the cold and dark after an already long weekend deserve our

special thanks – especially as many of the same had battled destructive winds trying to erect marquees on the Friday.

There are many highlights from the weekend and not enough space here to tell all the stories people shared over the

weekend. The young people of Clunes can be extremely proud of working so hard over the past six months to create one

of the real highlights of the weekend – the Alice in Wonderland themed Children’s Booktown. Thanks to the extreme

professionalism and creativity of local prop maker Clayton, costume designer Mel, theatre director Rebecca, music maker

Earl Leonard and a team of other locals, the children performed at a level that impressed all. Their march through the

street in their amazing black and white costumes behind the Mad Hatter enlivened the whole weekend.

A story from two of our long-

time volunteers, Wendy and

Gary, who share their time

between Melbourne and

Clunes, sums up the wonderful

spirit of the weekend. They

were working on the entry

point in Bailey Street when an

elderly gentleman and his wife

sauntered up and asked: “Is it

$15 for a Family?”

,“Absolutely!” they replied, to

which, out of the shadows,

trouped another 13 people!,

“We are all one Family, is it still

$15?” he asked with an impish

grin.,“Of course it is,” was the

answer and everyone

proceeded to enjoy themselves

with the day - for $15. Good

Family Value!

As many will now know, the Festival this year hosted two international guests as part of Clunes membership of the

International Organisation of Book towns (IOB): Mr Jan Klovstad from Norway and the President of the IOB; and Mr Lee

Sang of Paju Book City in South Korea. Arriving to see the welcome written in their home languages on our town entry

boards was a happy to start to what proved a most successful visit and a number of joint projects are likely to flow from

their time here.There was some concern at first among the members of Creative Clunes when a text was received from

Jan alerting us to a slight delay on his departure at Sydney airport the following Tuesday.

Reading on however revealed that he was delayed at passport control as he had written among his reasons for being in

Australia was “to visit Clunes Booktown”. The passport officer had heard him talking about Clunes being part of the

international book town group on Radio National and wanted to talk about it! He eventually signed off our new

‘ambassador’.

Numbers Attracted to Celebrate Books

Some 110 people came together at the old Wesleyan Church in Clunes for an ecumenical Service - Celebration of

Books, on Sunday 28 April. The Service was part of the Booktown Festival program. Booktown festival chaplain the

Right Reverend John Stewart, an Anglican bishop led the Service and spoke on the history of books, the value of

being able to read, and appreciating the creative genius of the world’s top writers. Bishop John reflected on the

beauty and long lasting love of the works of William Sharespeare, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the

English language and Thomas Cramner, who wrote the English prayer book, which was used unchanged in churches

for over 500 years.

The Service also held prayers for all those responsible for organising the festival, the volunteers, the stall holders

and those who visited the event on 4 and 5 May this year.

Biblical readings were done by chair of Booktown Festival board, Dr Tess Brady; Matthew Taylor, Acting Head of

campus, Wesley College at Clunes and Catherine King, Federal Member for Ballarat. Parishioners of the Anglican,

Catholic and Uniting churches of Clunes shared the prayers which focussed on all who are touched by the Booktown

Festival.

“This is our second such Ecumenical Service, held at the wonderfully refurbished Wesleyan Church.” said Michael

Cheshire, Ecumenical Service Coordinator, “Attendance numbers show an increase of 30%, which is most

encouraging. Wesley College is most generous in making this beautiful venue available to the Clunes community.

The harmony of those in attendance showed through.”

The Christian Churches of Clunes get together from time to time. They regularly come together on Good Friday to

walk The Stations of the Cross at the Ford in Clunes and hold a friendly get-together for a hot cross bun and cuppa,

following the walk.

CFA Deputy Chief Officer, Steve Warrington, said it’s easy to reduce the risk of fire in your home.

“There’s a number of really simple actions people can take that may end up saving their life – from keeping at least one metre clear space around heaters and open fires, to never leaving cooking unattended and making sure your smoke alarm is working,” he said.

“You can check how fire safe your home is and get support for developing your home fire escape plan by visiting homefiresafety.com.au or calling 1800 799 203.”

Of the 1042 residential fires in Victoria last winter, 37 per cent started in the kitchen, 14 per cent in the lounge room and 10 per cent in the bedroom.

Leaving cooking unattended was the main cause of home fires in Victoria last year, responsible for 25 per cent of incidents. This was followed by electrical faults (11 per cent) and heating malfunctions (10 per cent).

Residential fires last winter resulted in an estimate $20 million in damages and six lives were lost.

Tips for being fire safe in your home this winter:

Plan and practice your fire escape plan with your family

If a fire starts, get out and stay out. Call 000

Talk with your friends and family about what to do in an emergency

Check your electric blanket, heater and other electric appliances for broken or worn wiring

Don’t overload your power boards

Don’t deadlock yourself in your home

Make sure your smoke alarm is working

Dry your clothes at least a metre away from heaters

Use fire screens on open fires

Put fires out and turn off heaters before going to bed

Never leave candles unattended

G’day everyone, the crime round up for April….

Over the last month there have been 4 separate crimes

reported in the area, 2 being damage to vehicles and

the other two being theft related.

Two vehicles were damaged on the 28th of April, both

having windows broken and duco damaged. The theft

reports relate to household items stolen from private

premises and items stolen from some earth moving

machinery. All under investigation.

In the early hours of Sunday the 28th of April, a vehicle

collided into a house at the corner of Angus Street and

Ligar Street, luckily no one was injured as a result of the

collision although the house was extensively damaged.

The male driver of the vehicle was interviewed and will

be charged with a number of traffic related offences in

the near future.

The Booktown festival went off without any hitches

(Police wise) and I congratulate the organisers,

committee and volunteers for another fantastic event. I

had friends attend from outside the area and they

commented on the professionalism of the event.

I have had some property that has been handed in over

the last couple of weeks, so if you have lost anything in

the Clunes area give me a call I may just have it sitting in

my station.

Until next newsletter, stay safe …. As I always say I am

Clunes Field & Game Branch marked the ‘25th

Anniversary’ of the club with a 100 target OTG event.

The day attracted 101 contestants including world

class clay target shooter, UK’s Mark Marshall who

took out the day’s High Gun award. In accepting his

prize he commented that he had totally enjoyed his

first experience on the Clunes range and

congratulated members involved in setting quality

targets over the 2 grounds.

Twenty five years ago The Right Honourable Malcolm

Fraser attended to officially open the range and was

disappointed prior commitments prevented him

from making a return visit on this occasion.

President Eric Jones thanked past and present

members

for their involvement and considerable effort which

has seen this unique setting remain a popular venue

for regular clay target events.

Clunes Mother’s Day Classic

The 2013 Clunes Mother’s Day classic was once again a success

although numbers were down a little from previous years. The

combination of a beautiful sunny morning and amazing autumn

colours created a perfect atmosphere for a walk or run through

the streets of Clunes.

With a 3km course some chose to do 1 lap while others

completed the course twice for the 6km distance.

Maggie Orr was first to finish the 3km with Peter Iles the first

Male.

Fergus Orr a student at Wesley College was first to finish the 6km

with 11 year old Matilda Hill the first female.

Thanks to all our participants, some who travelled quite a

distance and those who gave us donations which helped us to

raise $1071.00 for the National Breast Cancer Foundation

A special thank you to the Wesley students who helped on the

day, the Clunes RSL for kindly letting us use their premises and to

Christine and Matilda for their help.
