May Crescent Burglary  26th Feb 2010
The Community House, May Crescent was burgled overnight Friday 20th – Saturday 21st February whereby laptop computers, money and a camera were stolen.  The Community House is for the use of the community and local residents have worked hard over the years to provide an environment whereby the whole of the community can utilise the building and its equipment to their advantage.  It is of great regret that now due to mindless vandals items of property will need to be replaced.

Comment: What was with the British press during the recent Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics?
I could not believe the purely negative press. I could understand it from "rags" such as the Sun, or The News of the World. But The Guardian and the Times. What the he##?
Your 2012 Olympics had better be good otherwise every journalist outside of the UK will be on your case.

Comment: Congratulations to the first person to be caught on camera allowing his jack russel dog to dirty on the grassed area opposite Langdale Oval, without cleaning it up. This image will be passed on to the local council and I am sure he will enjoy the fixed penalty that he will receive. This occurred at 9.10am on Saturday morning. I did warn people that I would be doing this and I will continue to do so
