COMMUNITY & EVENTS PAGE 7 Clarence Town & District Historical Museum Assoc. Building Connections Our March meeting featured a visit from Dungog’s Men’s Shed, a visit organised by our Young Ambassadors. The four visitors toured the museum and especially the outdoor covered area to see if they might, with their skills and knowledge, become involved in maintaining some of the historical equipment. They addressed the meeting to explain their organization and were greatly impressed that we had young people who were involved in Museum activities. This sort of interaction is also part of Rural Aid’s vision whereby different voluntary organisations meet and so become more aware of each other’s contributions within the Dungog Shire. Sexton’s bus trip will definitely occur later this April, followed on the same day by Dungog Shire’s Emerging Leaders’ Workshop – Dungog High, Glen William Public School and Clarence Town Public School will definitely have representatives. Exciting times for Clarence Town! Open the 2nd Sat of each month, 10am–2pm or by appointment.

The screening aims to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and spark vital conversations in regional communities. All are welcome – please note the content is not suitable for children under 15. Let’s come together to listen, learn, and support each other. Just turn up on the night – no need to reserve a spot. Clarence Town First Responders (CFR) More Than Fighting Fires – Join the RFS & CFR Teams The Clarence Town Rural Fire Brigade (RFB) is currently running a recruitment campaign. Fighting fires is one the main roles of the RFS but there are many other roles that you can take up to support the brigade and the community. One of those roles is as part of the local Community First Responders medical response team. We have had some great response recently but we need more to ensure we can provide a high level of response to calls for medical assistance within our community. The CFR team do a great job and have grown to be a much welcomed response for people needing urgent medical assistance. If you feel you have some time throughout the week to volunteer and help your community as a CFR team members or as part of the general Clarence Town RFB, please get in touch. You can call Brad (CFR) on 0417 651 577 or Shaun (RFB Captain) on 0429 540 422.
