Clean Up Australia Day

It's the time of year again to have a big clean-up of Marburg. Of course, as a tidy and friendly town, we try to keep the town clean all the time, but a special effort is made at this time of year.

As an aside, Barry Gratton, president of the Residents' Association, has taken it upon himself to keep the Rosewood approach to the town tidy all year around. If you see him picking up rubbish, stop and help out. Or you could adopt another part of town to look after. If everyone picks up rubbish or stops themselves from littering, it will make a big difference.

Please meet at the community hall on Sunday 1 March at 9.30am. Bring gloves and a lot of enthusiasm. A very warm day is forecast so don't forget the hats and sunscreen. Kids are welcome too.

Our very own Sam Truloff won Young Sportsman of the Year.
