TTENTION DOG OWNERS: As a regular walker
in the Woodridge Estate I have become very
nervous with regard to walking past some properties
where gates are open and dogs come charging out
barking.
On two occasions I have been chased by one particular
dog, this makes my daily walk a very stressful
experience. The number of dogs roaming loose on the
roads have increased these past few months.
Come on dog owners, be responsible and keep your
dogs under control and your gates closed and make our
walkers and roads safe.
A Woodridge Walker— name withheld
W
e are a few local residents who enjoy a healthy
walk around Woodridge in the mornings and we
have had a couple of instances where dogs have run out
of yards barking as if they are going to attack. While no
one has been bitten the viciousness which they run out
at you with does not instill confidence to continue to
walk around that street. It would be great if all dog
owners would make sure their gates are kept closed and
the dogs contained in their yards and everyone will feel
happier and safer and enjoy walking again.
The Woodridge Walkers.
I
read the above two letters and could not help adding
my experience, I also was terrified by a neighbours
dog when I was walking, fortunately they have moved!
However the other day we came home to find dog turds
in our swimming pool and all our chemicals gone. Of
course we could not prove who’s dog it was so cannot
make a claim for the expense of the chemicals it took
to restore the balance.
I know the ranger is doing his best to keep stray dogs
under control, but really I feel all dog owners should do
the right thing and have a proper fence and gate and
keep their gate closed.

On behalf of all the staff at the Lancelin Police
Station, we wish you all a Merry Christmas
and a joyous and happy New Year!!
DECEMBER COPS CORNER
NEW LANCELIN POLICE PHONE NUMBER
Lancelin Police Station phone has changed,
9650 1100 Fax 9650 1155
Write them down,
you never know when you might need the number
Security in your home or office
With warm weather around the corner I think now is
the time to increase your awareness of the increased
risk of Burglary at home and in the work place.
When the warm weather comes around we tend to
leave doors and windows open to make the most of the
cool sea breeze. Maybe it’s time to install window
locks or security screens to reduce the risk. The same
goes for front and back doors, have you got a Security
Screen door??
School holidays are around the corner and maybe you
are lucky enough to be going away, make sure you lock
your house and high risk items away and out of sight.
Don’t forget to call in to the Police Station and let us
know your home is vacant…...
Christmas and New Year planning
As in previous years we will have extra Police
resources in the Lancelin Police District over the busy
periods. Leading up to New Year we will have a
contingent somewhere around 50 in town to make sure
those seeing in the New Year behave.
Don’t be a drink driving dummy!!!!
Anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated.
Again a contingent will also be based at Guilderton as
in previous years. A special Thanks to the Shire of
Gingin for their support to make sure this happens!!.
SEAT BELTS
Can you believe that people still get into a car and
don’t put a seatbelt on? Something which I can’t
believe, Mum and Dad sit in the front with their belts
on but the kids are jumping all over the seat; what are
they thinking?
It is a minimum fine of $500.
If you try and run the gauntlet—We will catch you and
you will be $500 out of pocket !!!
THERE IS NO EXCUSE
Have your say !!

CHRISTMAS PARTY TIME
If you are planning a Christmas Party be smart and
make sure you organise a lift with a non drinker or
walk home. What about a driver to pick all your staff
and friends up and drop them off. Don’t have a sad

T
he Spring Fair this year was a
terrific success with lots to do, lots
to see and lots to eat. Congratulations to all those who
contributed, especially the committee for all their hard
work, and those who turned out for a fun day.
Woodridge Community
Association News
I feel sure that everyone
will agree when I say our
huge thanks go to all the
people that helped with
the dreadful accident that
occurred the day before
the Spring Fair and that
our thoughts and best
wishes are with Fred and his family at this time.
The Public meeting held this month saw another poor
attendance; some of the items on the Agenda included
the subdivision between Redfield Park/Sovereign Hill,
the erection of the pergola at the hall, the Plunkett
proposal and various other items to be taken up with
the Shire about maintenance.
Sadly, both the Dance Night and New Years Eve
parties have been cancelled owing to there not being a
lot of interest, despite both being advertised quite well
and a lot of work being put in by the organisers.
Mark Tuesday, 26th January 2010 for the Australia
Day breakfast on your calendar , look out for the
raffles and feel free to donate a gold coin.
The Children's Christmas Party will be on Sunday
13th December. Parents PLEASE keep presents to $10
or less and drop them off at the Hall by 11 am.
We hope the children have a great time and that parents
will join in the games. The WCA wishes you all a safe
and happy Christmas and New Year.

This
year's event seemed to
attract even more people than last year. You
may have noticed a few more stalls as well.
The committee would like to thank all those
who attended, participated (especially in the
auction), and a special thank you to those who
helped out in any way before, during and after
the event. Another special thank you to Jill &
Jason, and Chrissy & Craig for managing the
bar at short notice. I'm sure all will agree they
did a wonderful job.
The net amount raised on the day was approx
$2000. A few more attractions and activities
were paid for this year - i.e. BMX stuntmen,
extra children activity centres, Karaoke DJ for
the bar, and the snake man; all of
which attracted large crowds and
participants. And once again the
Kalahari Busmen added ambiance to
the whole day. The kitchen was very
successful again, providing the majority
of our profits. Our gratitude goes to the
Gingin Abattoir for providing the meat
for
the
beef
rolls.
The committee are all very pleased with
the outcome of the day - the aim as
always is to put together a day of
entertainment and enjoyment for our
community
without it
being
too
expensive, and at the same time raise
precious funds for our volunteer services
and groups. To have some funds to
add to the community coffers at the end
of the day is always a bonus.
Keep Sunday 7th November free for the
2010 Woodridge Spring Fair.
Spring Fair Committee
Again we will say thank you to all the people
who supported our McDonald House charity stall
at the Spring Fare. The total made & sent was
an excellent $637.
Joyce, Fiona and Marylyn were a great help
Yours Truly Jane Phyl & Dot
The Gingin West Fire Brigade Cadets collected a
wonderful $800 in donations at the gate. A HUGE
thank you to everyone for being so generous.

H
ello, I’m writing in regards to the 'Woodridge fair' your
community held a few weeks ago.
As a family of 5 city slickers, we had the best time at the
fair, we have been to many country fairs, but this one
topped the cake. It was such a friendly atmosphere and we
will be coming back every year, the kids had a ball and it
sure beats the Royal show and all other smaller shows, the
prices were cheap and food was good (we had something
from every stall) Displays were fantastic.
I have told all my family and friends about this show, and
hopefully they will come with us next year to help raise
funds for Woodridge Estate.
Thank you for such a great family day out. See you all next
year!!

H
i, Woodridge
spring fair was
a great success ! Full
of interesting stuff to
do ....I tried wool
spinning for the first
time and enjoyed
watching the wood
turner, learnt about
snakes and watched
sheep shearing , all
good to do and see.
My friends from
Hong Kong came along and they had a great time and enjoyed your
lovely bush setting
The last time I went to your fair was 2 years ago (all the way from
Ocean Reef), this year is 10x bigger and better!
Your committee has put in such a great effort in organizing the event.
The auction was the highlight of the day , despite I didn't succeed in
bidding for any items , I had a go and it was worthwhile just being
there.
Comparing this to the Royal Show, there is no commercial
component which makes it great for everybody. It carries the
unspoilt friendly country essence and didn't cost an arm and leg in
entry fee! Will definitely be coming back next year with more
friends!

The auction at this year’s
fair was a great success,
raising $2,500, with the
monies going to local
organisations. A big thank
you to Mr Bob Woodruff
and Kathy for the time and
effort put into making the
auction a success. However the event couldn’t happen
without all the generous donations as well as
enthusiastic bidders. Thank you to all of you. We
hope everyone had a great time. See you next year.

This
is a
really long story! I do know it started after the
Victorian Bush Fires. Dave Stroud, Gingin West Fire
Captain and others in his “Have a chat circle” thought
we ought to provide Woodridge with a safe haven in
case of fires that got too big to handle! After
discussions with the Shire and Shire Rangers it was
agreed to nominate the Woodridge Hall and call it The
Emergency Assembly Point.
However we needed fire fighting equipment that would
be able to keep the hall safe before and after a possible
fire had gone through. We have the water in the pond!
We just needed a way of getting it to the hall.
Councillor Alan Alderson donated a trailer.
Pictured above is Marg Browne the Gingin West
Secretary and without her this project would have
stayed on the drawing board. She applied for a grant
from SGIO………and got it!
Dave armed with $5500 went over to see the Shire
mechanic Reg and it was all agreed that for safety and
insurance reasons it would be built over there. They
purchased the pump and hoses with the grant money.
Amazingly, the trailer was delivered—as pictured
above in November. Following the public meeting
Dave now has a team of volunteers willing to help and
learn how to manage the assembly point and keep it as
safe as possible.
Dreams do come true, but without volunteers and the
support of the Shire this one would have stayed in
Dave’s head! The Community should be very grateful
that we have a brigade secretary like Marg, and a Fire
Captain and Shire that cares.

A RED HAT group known as the DINKI DI DIVAS
recently had a fun filled weekend at Guilderton. Each
member has a self proclaimed royal title so amongst
the group were Duchess of Dolittle, Lady Lustalot.
Lady Chatterly and two local Dinki Di Divas being
Dame Pixie Pie and Lady Liberty.
To set the mood for relaxing and pampering, they had
“Cookie” take them on the Sunset River Cruise where
they took in the tranquility of the Moore River,
returning to the mouth to watch a spectacular sunset.
Most stayed at the Sea Moore Guest House where they
were able to enjoy the healing hands of various
members of the community. Queen Elizabeth of
Champagne commented that 19 Red Hatters enjoyed
one of their best meals ever at Café A Moore
Amirage B & B Restaurant was the venue for a
champagne luncheon and from all accounts the food,
the service and the setting was a highlight of the
weekend. The Divas were most impressed that host
June showed the flair she is renowned for and had the
restaurant looking splendid, decorated with red and
purple. The garden was a glorious array of colour that
almost rivaled the blaze of red and purple that swished
their way through the property. These happy ladies
enjoyed their stay and went home declaring that
Guilderton/Moore River was the ideal getaway spot for
any age group.

Heart Foundation Walkers Wanted
A new Heart Foundation Walking group has just
started in your area, meeting at Granville Park Gingin
on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays at 7am.
Do you enjoy walking? Would you like to be more
active and meet some new people? Want some extra
motivation to help you stay committed? Then why not
join Heart Foundation Walking. Heart Foundation
Walking is a network of free community based
walking groups that gives you an easy way to look
after your health. The National Heart Foundation
recognises that 70% of those over the age of 15 in the
Australian population are classified as sedentary or
have low exercise levels. Findings from the Adult
Physical Activity Survey 2006 indicate that the most
popular physical activity was walking for recreation
(63%). The survey recommends the continuation of
promoting 30 minutes of moderate physical activity on
most days of the week. Brisk walking is a good
example of moderate intensity activity; it is simple,
inexpensive and keeps you connected with people in
your community. Walkers will receive a free
handbook, water bottle and regular newsletter.
For more details on joining the Gingin Heart
Foundation Walking Group please contact Karen
Harris Health Promotion Officer on 9575 3172.
We emailed Karen back and asked if anything was
planned for the coast. If you are interested then phone
Karen to get something started.
As you can see the Woodridge Community Association
Melbourne Cup Day was full of fun. The WCA gave

to President Pauline Shelton and helper Fiona New Year. The tab tops can be taken to the Woodridge Art
Studio to help Wheelchair For Kids. The Gingin West Fire
Mountford for providing the entertainment.
Brigade benefit from the cans.
The Sovereign Hill Community Association was able to
hold its first Melbourne Cup luncheon at Sovereign

number of residents viewed the Cup and enjoyed the
social get together.

YOUR NEW YEARS RESOLUTION;
Must send the Moore River News

You will no doubt have read in the Sun City News
about our 20th Birthday celebration in Mandurah. It
was a real treat to met up with Mary, Bev, Pixie, Jenny,
Jan and Walter. It was a shame Sue could not make it. I
had the opportunity to browse though many of the 20
years worth of issues the other day. You would not
believe some of the events, photos and news.
A Happy Christmas from the current team.
