Joyce’s Flying Visit

THE Minister for New England made the time to visit the Scone Neighbourhood Resource Centre on his way to inspect the damage cause by the Sir Ivan fire.

Lee Watts, manager of the Scone Neighbourhood Resource Centre said staff were glad he dropped by for a cuppa.

“It was nice of him to make the time to learn about what the Centre provides for the local community,” said Mrs Watts.

“Staff, volunteers and a few members of the Virtual Shed were there to say hello and explain what they do,” she said.

“The Virtual Shed has been a very successful and Belinda McKenzie who coordinates the project was able to talk about what they had achieved during the last eight years,” she said.

“It was a flying visit as he was on his way to the fire grounds, but we all appreciated his time,” Lee Watts said.
