AT THE MEETING PLACE CAFÉ! The Meeting Place Café has now reopened on Thursday 8th January, 2015 and will continue to serve local residents and visitors each Thursday morning together with the Kendall Bazaar. We regret the article in the December edition of the Chronicle incorrectly stated the Café would not be reopening until 22 January. Due to a shortfall in volunteers together with the retirement of key volunteer, Reggie Crane, the Café will not be serving meals but will continue to serve morning teas with their usual large selection of delicious homemade cakes together with superb coffee and teas. The Kendall Bazaar will also be active supplying fresh garden produce, seedlings/plants, home- made jams, chutneys and relishes plus gift items and more. So we trust our customers will continue to come and enjoy their Thursday mornings with us at the Café and the Bazaar. Due to the great success of the Meeting Place Café over the past years, customer numbers have been steadily rising, howev- er our volunteers are in decline and the workload on our current team has been taking its toll. That the Meeting Place Café and Kendall Bazaar are an integral part of the social and economic fabric of Kendall is irrefu- table. Created some ten years ago and operated by a team of dedicated volunteers the Café has raised many tens of thou- sands of dollars which have been used to maintain and repair our great Community Hall together with the purchase of a number of assets required for the successful operation of the Hall and Community Centre office. For the Meeting Place Café to provide morning teas AND lunches in the future, new volunteers such as cooks, wait staff, dishwashers and baristas are needed to maintain the Café’s successful operations. If you are interested in this type of vol- unteering and feel you would be able to assist, please see any of the current volunteers on a Thursday or phone the Commu- nity Centre Office on 6559 0055 and leave your details. We thank you for your custom over past years and look forward to welcoming you in the future.

Member for Port Macquarie Leslie Williams today an-nounced that the Kendall community would benefit from
over $40,000 in grant funding for community infrastructure committed to rebuilding NSW.
The funding has been provided under the NSW Govern-ment’s Community Building Partnership program.
Leslie Williams said she was the delighted the NSW Prem-ier Mike Baird announced the roll out of these local pro-jects which brings the total funding of projects for the Port Macquarie electorate to $1.4 million over the past four years.
“There was a strong level of interest from the community for the available funds, with 82 applications from across the Port Macquarie electorate,” Mrs Williams said.
The Kendall community will receive over $40,000 in fund-ing which will directly assist four community organisations and provide significant benefits to the public broadly.
The Camden Haven Show Society applied for $27,730 in funding on behalf of their own organisation as well as the Camden Haven Boxing Team and the Kendall Men’s Shed to seal the driveway which runs between the two entrance gates of the showground. The provision of a bitumen seal to the internal roadway will also include the installation of a speed hump to improve road safety.
The Camden Haven Show Society were also successful in their funding application for $10,000 to replace the roof on the amenities block and install a commercial dryer and washing machine for use by campers.
The Kendall Riding for the Disabled will also receive $2500 to purchase and install two rainwater tanks to irrigate the riding arena.
“Local businesses will benefit from this investment in com-munity infrastructure,” Mrs Williams said.
“Since 2011 it’s been a privilege to support community pro-jects that make a real difference to local organisations in the Port Macquarie electorate worth $1.4 million.
“I look forward to seeing the benefits of these local projects announced today for the Kendall community as they pro-gress.
What a great night we had at the Kendall Community Hall on
5th December! Wonderful performances in the first half of
the night, and then, once STIX n STONZ came on, they really
got everyone going – what a great sound - all those drums and
instruments. People even got up and danced! For their last
number, they handed out percussion instruments to everyone
in the audience. It was such good fun to be able to join in!
So, what’s next? On Friday 6th February, it will be a great
honour to have KEVIN ATKINS from Lake Cathie as our
main guest artist. Kevin plays piano – he plays at the Glass-
house every Wednesday! When I asked him, would he play
for us, he said: “Well – I am 82 years old – so I better not
wait too long – why not make it February”.
On Friday 6th March, the wonderful voice of ROBYN
THOMAS from Lakewood will fill the hall. Robyn sang a
few songs for us on 5th December and everybody was just in
awe about her beautiful voice. Robyn says she has always
sung. She started taking lessons at around the age of six and
used to participate in the Railway Institute Eistedfodds. As
for the guitar,she started to teach herself to play when she was
10. During her teens and twenties she used to play a lot in
coffee houses and folk clubs. Robyn did Cert III in Music at
TAFE in 2011. As well as her folk and rock music she also
does classical singing. In that vein she has taken part in sev-
eral of the Glasshouse lunchtime concerts but, she says: “put
a guitar in my hands and I am home”. Make sure you mark
these two nights in your diary so you don’t forget about them.
Bring your instrument along – all musicians are always en-
couraged and welcome to play a few songs – or just come and
enjoy a great evening of music, light supper and great compa-
ny.
Doors open at 6.30pm for a 7pm start, entry is by dona-
tion.
