Landcare: Free Health Check Program

Posted on July 25, 2012 by Julian Carroll

Hello all

Our Landcare Group has been given an opportunity to run a Sustainable Farming Families program at the Mudgegonga Hall the first two sessions will be held Wednesday 15th & Thursday 16th of August at the Mudgegonga Hall between 9 am and 4.30 however late arrivals or early departures can be accommodated.

The attachment explains the program and Alison Hescock, from Alpine Health runs it, she has suggested we try and get 18 participants as that may ensure we have at least 15 turn up. Alison encourages couples to attend.

The workshops includes health checks (eg. blood pressure, cholesterol, blood oxygen level, PIKO lung or breathing test etc) as well as health information re: rural health, diabetes, farm hlth & safety, nutrition, mental health and stress related illness the list goes on. The first session involves 2 days and the next two sessions one day each over a twelve month period.

The local Alpine Valleys Vignerons who were successful in getting the program last year have given some very positive reports about the program, there was an article in the local paper a few weeks back.

We hope our local members take advantage of this opportunity all free of cost.

Please either book with Cindy on 57534539, Paul 57534557 or Alison Hescock on 0458 228 013.

Hope to see you there.

Cheers

Community Info: ABC open ‘Now and Then’ images of Mudgegonga

Posted on May 24, 2012 by Julian Carroll

Hi to all

Suzi Taylor from ABC Open Albury-Wodonga has been running film and photography workshops with some interested locals capturing `Now & Then´ images in Mudgegonga. A selection of the photos and a post by Suzi can be viewed at the links below.

The photos are really clever and well worth having a look at – some are after the fires and now – some are a look back in history compared to now. Well done to all the crew involved – you definitely have more patience than me!
