6th October 2012 Working Bee at the gates of Willow Court Tasmania, former Resident, Geoffrey came to visit and helped us out with some safety tips and told me about some of his life inside Willow Court and outside. How apt to have a former resident visiting us to offer his advice at the first restoration working bee at the entrance to his former home. *LANGUAGE WARNING*

New buisness in private sector of Willow Court
The ongoing collection of local business continues with the adding of two more, Annette Lay is about to open a new business, OH LAH LAY selling her own hand made arts and crafts in the old Nurses Quarters while upstairs there has been reports of a recording studio being set up.
It’s a great place to enjoy a light meal and a brouse through the Artisans shops and Antique dealer. The “local” theme that Haydn and Penny Pearce had chosen has encouraged the small cottage industry in the district.

Formal Minutes of the DVC August
http://www.derwentvalley.tas.gov.au/webdata/resources/files/16%20August%202012.pdf
At last, the minutes of the DVC August meeting have appeared on the DVC website, we can now see the formal document and who voted which way. The minutes also have approval for stage five in the subdivision opposite Royal Derwent Hospital. Names are suggested for some of the streets, it would be nice to see a street name that recognises the history from the Residents side. What would be a good name?
