CORPORATE CUP BOWLS NEWS

A very successful Corporate Cup was held at

the Macarthur Bowling Club over 4 weeks with

a number of new people being introduced to

bowls. The 16 teams entered filled the bowling

rink to capacity. We hope that this will start

them on the path to taking up bowls as a regu-

lar sport.

We also ran an extra night as a fundraiser for

Heart Kids Victoria which was an initiative of

the Bowls Women Charity Victoria. Anne

Wright announced the total raised from the

night of $431 going towards the state tally was

very pleasing.

MACARTHUR WINS A GRADE CRICKET COMP.

Macarthur claimed its first A grade premiership in the Hamilton and District Cricket Association on Saturday

27th March, outplaying reigning premiers Hamilton.

Hamilton was looking to winning the Dundas Cup for the second year running but the Macarthur batsmen re-

fused to hand them the chance of batting again in the match. Mark Brilley and Mick Carter began the day and

took the score to 141 with relative ease. Carter went out trapped in front, then Charlie Nield came and went as he

ran himself out. Mat Timms went for a duck, trapped lbw, and the Demons were teetering at 7-142, with a lead of

214 and at least three hours and 17 overs still to play. Hamilton tried everything to get the remaining batsmen out

but Macarthur stood their ground and held on.

Man of the match went to Michael Brilley for his two batting efforts and his three wickets when bowling.

Celebrations were in full swing that night at the Macarthur Pub.

Moyne Shire Council update

Important land studies – have your say

Moyne Shire Council and Warrnambool City Council have two important land studies out for public comment –

the Land Capability and Biodiversity Study and the Rural Housing Strategy. The two complementary studies look

at settlements, housing and rural areas in an attempt to properly manage agricultural land assets and the future

settlement needs in the Shire. To find out more or to make a comment, visit the Macarthur office in High Street

or visit www.moyne.vic.gov.au/planning.

Warrnambool Cup day a public holiday again in Moyne

Warrnambool Cup Day – Thursday May 6 – will be a public holiday in Moyne Shire in 2010. Moyne CEO Brett

Stonestreet said the Council agreed at its January meeting to declare the public holiday again this year and seek

the Minister’s approval and gazettal. Mr Stonestreet said the move comes after a State Government directive in

2008 for all Victorian councils to declare a public holiday in lieu of Melbourne Cup Day to ensure everyone

gained the benefit of the holiday. The Council is waiting on the formal gazettal process to be completed, which

will make the public holiday official.

POLICE NEWS.POLICE NEWS.POLICE NEWS.POLICE NEWS.

Recently there have been reports of people here being propositioned by individuals claiming to be roofing insulation installers.

On some occasions people have handed over money and in one case, received no goods or services. I urge anyone who has

been caught up in this way to contact me at the police station as the scheme was designed around no money changing hands and

being totally funded by the government. If you or anyone you know has been a victim of fraud, please have them contact police

asap. Please contact police if you are doubtful of any callers and if you hand over money make sure you get a receipt or details of

the company/person. It is also not wise to invite these people into your home and this insulation scheme has since been can-

celled by the Government.

With wet weather season approaching it is time to check your vehicles for roadworthiness to avoid potential collisions. Check

tyres, brakes and lights mainly and replace/repair where necessary.

A few queries regarding trailer registration. Here are some facts:

Does my trailer need to be registered?

A trailer must be registered if :

o it is used for business purposes, and

o is specifically constructed to carry a boat or is carrying a boat and

o weighs more than 200kg unladen, and

o is wider than the towing vehicle, and

o is more than three metres in length, including the draw-bar and load.

A trailer is exempt from registration if:

o it is not used for business purposes, and

o is not specifically constructed to carry a boat, and

o weighs less than 200kg unladen, and

o is not wider than the towing vehicle, and

o is less than three metres in length, including the draw-bar and load.

Exempt trailers must display the same registration number as the towing vehicle. You can purchase an 'Exempt Trailer Plate'

by:

o calling VicRoads on 13 11 71 (Mon-Fri 8.30am - 5pm, Sat 8.30am - 2pm). You can pay by credit card (Visa

or Mastercard)

o visiting a VicRoads Customer Service Centre. You can pay by cash, cheque, EFTPOS or credit card.

o pay the exempt trailer plate fee, refer to number plates fee

Exempt trailers may be registered upon request. Note: In many other states, including New South Wales

and South Australia, all trailers require registration. If you intend towing your trailer interstate, it is rec-

ommended that you register it in Victoria before you travel.

"How long have you been driving

without a tail light?" asked the police-

man after pulling over a motorist.

The driver jumped out, ran to the rear

of his car and gave a long, painful

groan and put his face in his hands.

He seemed so upset that the cop was

moved to ease up on him a bit.

"Come on, now," he said, "you don't

have to take it so hard. It isn't that

serious."

"It isn't?" cried the motorist. "Then

you know what happened to my boat

and trailer?"

Sorry Dave, saw this and couldn’t resist
