Macarthur News Goes Digital

In order to continue providing a free monthly

paper we have decided to go digital. Currently we

distribute 300 copies of the Macarthur News to the

town and surrounding properties. The paper is

printed free but in order for this service to continue

we need to reduce the number of copies we print.

From November the paper will only be delivered

to households in Macarthur. People living out of

town can opt to have a digital copy emailed to them

each month. One of the advantages of a digital pa-

per is that it is provided in colour. Households

without the internet can request that a copy be sent

to them by post.

Registering for a digital copy is easy! Send an

email to the Editor at pmcook@bigpond.net.au with

the phrase “Mac News digital” in the subject box

and we will do the rest. Your email address will

not be given to any other party without your

permission.

People requiring a copy by mail need to complete

the tear off section below and send to The Editor,

Macarthur News, 37 High Street, Macarthur 3286.

Remember, this applies only to people living out of

town at this time.

Once we have this process working properly we

will be looking at providing a digital copy for peo-

ple living in Macarthur so we would like to hear

from you too. If you would prefer a digital copy

send an email as above with the words “Mac News

town digital.” For the time being all households in

Macarthur will continue to receive a printed copy of

the paper, but once the logistics are sorted out we

will switch you to digital as well.

Eventually we expect to only be printing enough

copies to cover households without the internet but

it will only work if you send us your details. Don’t

leave it till the last minute, contact us as soon as

possible so we can make sure no-one misses out on

their copy!

Merilyn Cook Editor

I don’t have the internet and would like to continue receiving a printed copy of the Macarthur

News.

Macarthur and District Lions Club

Lions members along with Macarthur Primary

School students, staff and parents held “Coins for

Kids” on the last day of term 2 this involves lining

up donated 5c and 10c coins (other denominations

are also welcome) to see how far the lines go. Half

the money raised goes to a charity of the student’s

choice and the rest of the money goes to Lions

Childhood Cancer research. Approximately $600

was raised. Thanks to the children, staff and fami-

lies from the primary school for their support and

look forward to doing the same next year. We

finish off with a sausage sizzle for all involved.

The 4th Macarthur Market is to be held in and

around the Macarthur Hall on Sunday 25th Septem-

ber. Bookings can be made by contacting Christine

on 55761217 or 0427101559 or email:

macarthuranddistrictlionsclub@gmail.com

Thanks to the parents from the primary school who

catered for our changeover dinner this month, they

do a great job and was appreciated by all who

attended.

Our Lions community questionnaire was posted out

on Monday, we would appreciate if people could

fill it in and place it in the box at the post office.

Christmas cakes will be available at the usual out-

lets around town in September, or just ask any Lion

member and they will help you get one.

Macarthur’s Music in the Vines- a music festival to be held at boutique vineyard Suffoir has an-nounced next year’s line-up and starting early bird ticketing in August.

“Our headline act is Dean Ray who has performed over 150 shows in 2015 alone. X-factor runner up star, Dean Ray has been called mysterious, captivat-ing and a perfect match for the festival. He knows how to captivate the audience and his voice is incred-ible!” says President of committee Pieter Badenhorst.

Other artists include the Settlement, Nick Wild-goose, Jade Alice, Chris Rhook, Bec Milly band and more. 2017 will be bigger and better with more acts, more stalls, competitions, family entertainment and much more! Tere will also be a young emerging talent section, where local talent will be showcased leading up to the start of the festival.

“We tried to incorporate as many suggestions as possible. This is the second year that we will be running the event and there is still room to shape the event. We have also extended the hours to include more acts. The music will now go until 10 pm in the evening.”

The not-for profit organisation aims to put Macarthur on every tourist’s map and on the festival circuit, while uniting local community groups and encouraging local and national music collaborations.

During the first year, contributions were made to the Macarthur Primary School, the Macarthur Men's shed, the Australian Breastfeeding Association Hamilton, the Macarthur Hall, Hawkesdale &

district Family Services Centre and CFA Broadwater.

We would like to thank everyone for their support and look forward to another great year. Please visit Facebook at www.facebook.com/musicinthevines or visit www.musicinthevines.com.au. Early bird tick-ets can also be purchased at the Macarthur pub and online via the website from August.

Contact Michelle Badenhorst on 0430 382 432 for further details.

Kind regards
