Hall’s 90th birthday ~ community barbecue and AGM date set A community barbecue to help celebrate the easing of COVID 19 restrictions and annual general meeting will be at Merrijig Public Hall on Sunday, December 13. The AGM begins at 11 am followed by the barbecue.... Everyone in the community is welcome to attend. The food for the barbecue is provided - simply bring your own drinks and a mask to comply with Covid safety provisions. Everyone attending will be required to register on arrival. There is plenty of space to social distance however masks will be required to be worn indoors and outside if you can’t social distance. Still an integral part of the community, the Merrijig Public Hall was first opened in July of 1930, so 90 years old this year. Built by the local community for the community, the hall is still run by a committee of locals. Although all events this year had to be cancelled, the hall is still well looked after by the members of the committee. Everyone is welcome to the barbecue and meeting and if you’d like to be involved in the committee contact the secretary for a nomination form.

20.01.2022 Every year at 11am on 11 Novemberthe eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh monthwe pause to remember those men and women who have died or suffered in all wars, conflicts and peace operations. This year marks the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. As the world welcomed peace, thousands returned home to much fanfare, and their loved ones. Thousands more never made the journey home. While we are unable to mark this year’s Remembrance Day by gather...ing together at the Merrijig War and service memorial park, please honour the memory of those in your special way at home. Mr. Peter Howarth, retired Lt Col, will lower the flag to half-mast at dawn and he will raise the flag at 11 am.

11.01.2022 What a fitting tribute to one of our most outstanding sporting achievers. Following the tragic passing of Alex 'Chumpy' Pullin earlier this year, Council is pro...posing to name the new sports stadium precinct, consisting of the new dual court stadium and dual outdoor multipurpose courts, the Alex Pullin Stadium. We'd love to receive your thoughs and feedback which you can do via our 'Have Your Say' page on our website. Full details here - http://mshire.co/AlexPullinStadium See more

08.01.2022 November 11. Remembrance Day His legs were broke, his wounds did bleed, The soldier called him ‘Noble Steed’, And put a bullet through his brain.... Then the soldier kneeling down, Bent his head and cried, ‘You were the noblest beast of all, Did your duty - answered the call’, And I am filled with grateful pride Through all the charges you carried me, And never did you falter. Though bullets whistled past your side, And many men and horses died, Your pace would never alter. And so my friend this isgoodbye, I’ve done my best for you, I’ve sent you to a safer place, Where horses graze in gentle grace, And wish I could go too. Then in the sky above all noise, He heard a singing lark. He felt it was an Angel’s song, And knew his life would not be long, As the sniper’s bullet hit its mark. They found them lying side by side, A soldier and his noble Steed, What sacrifice by man and beast, Too high a price to pay for peace, More than God and Man agreed. (Grantham) See more
