A dinner will be held at the Canowindra Services and Citizens Club on Saturday 8th September 2018. There will also be a breakfast at the School on the hill on Sunday morning, 9th September 2018.

Dress Like a Farmer Day: During the Cabonne/Blayney Family Day Care Dress Like a Farmer Day earlier this month, the Service raised a massive $300 for chosen charity, Buy a Bale. The Service was able to donate 15 hay bales with this money. If you wish to donate head to www.buyabale.com.au/donate/

New “Slow Down” Road Rule Now in Place: Drivers in NSW will now have to slow down to 40 km/h when passing stationary emergency vehicles with their red or blue lights flashing.

Motorists who ignore the speed limit will face penalties including a $448 fine and the loss of three demerit points.
