Last for 2015: The final meeting of the year of the Houghton Valley Progressive Association will be held at the hall at 4 pm on Sunday, 6 December.  An agenda will go out the week before so any items to Ken.

School Fair Proceeds: Organiser Karen advises the (provisional) amount raised is $29,200 and comments: “That should go a long way towards sorting out the playground and getting some new IT Equipment, and the plant stall did exceptionally well this year.”

Coffee morning: The last coffee morning in the Hall for the year is Saturday, December 5. Rumour has it at the last gathering blokes of a certain age spent so much time playing table tennis they finished up a net calorie loss even after eating heaps of goodies. Call in after 11 am.

Fundraiser reminder: Wednesday, November 25 – tomorrow. Friends of Houghton Valley have booked one of the LightHouse Cinemas to show the James Bond movie Spectre.  Order tickets through FOHV.

Hall Hire: The hall will not be available for hire from mid-December to mid-January as we need to do some maintenance. The hall will be back in action by 20 January.

Wall wanted: Claudia of Houghton Valley Rd is looking for someone who can build a low concrete retaining wall for holding up plant beds etc.

Another last for 2015: If you have any items, community messages or items to buy/ sell/swap, the final newsletter for the year will be in three weeks and appear on Tuesday, December 15.
