    Nmbngee checking out potential new members

    Forest has tenants in his place currently who wish to purchase his house and a share. They have started their six month stint and will be close to 6 months by the time of the AGM, so will possibly be on the agenda for share transfers at next yeas AGM.

    Their names are Matt and Lisa. They will hopefully be in attendance at the community dinner on the 8th, and this would be a great opportunity to meet them and get to know them (and them us).

They will then travel up Lillian Rock road and along the Murwillumbah Kyogle road, (Barkers Vale) down Stoney Chute road and into Nimbin Central School. They can take any students along the way.

    Just letting you all know, I have implemented email notifications for new posts, just to help keep us all up to date with news.

    If you wish to be removed just email me on info@nmbngee.org.  They won’t be a lot of emails though, only new posts, and they will be useful.  Nevertheless if you still wish not to be notified just let me know and I will remove you from the list.  You will still remain a member of the website and will be able to log in to see new posts.

     

  • There shall be food at the next SGM!

    • Turn up Early!

    • Bring a Plate if you can.

    • Coffee/Tea will be available.

    People are planning to arrive at the meeting half an hour early (9.30am) with food, so we are hoping you will too! So reminder, the SGM will be at the Mainhouse on the 4th of September, starting at 10am, breaky at 9.30am.

    Let’s get back to our roots and approach this meeting with a resolve to move forward in positivity and community spirit! One of the problems we have faced as a community is that we haven’t been a community! We don’t have any regular community forum that everyone can contribute to, so by the time General Meetings come around problems and issues have stewed and festered. So lets fix that! Lets be a community again!

    I’d also like to encourage people to use this website, and the facebook page, to contribute their thoughts, hopes and aspirations, their achievements and goals, their histories and plans, so that the electronic mediums can be an extension of community and enhance our communications with each other.

    Ross, Chris and Aaron did a sterling effort in coming up with a home made, professionally built, road surface roller. Consisting of a row of tyres weighted down with drums of water, the equipment allows the crew to compact the road surface after grading. Check out the pics below:

    Nmbngee Farm Meetings are an opportunity for the community to meet and share vitals and conversation. That is, after the work is done of course!

    Nmbngee members love to dress up, or dress down as the case may be. This wasn't just an everyday event! Usually a dress up meant a party somewhere.
