During Sunday’s services throughout the Wingham Parish the Advent candle wreath was lit. Mrs Lesley Timperley was given the honour of lighting the candle at St Luke’s.
A hot pot dinner was held on Tuesday evening, when around 20 folk were in attendance – I will have a full report next week.

Passing of Kirk Kristiansen
It is with sadness I report on the passing of Kirk on November 28. Kirk, formerly of Tinonee, was a resident of Whiddon’s Wingham Court, and had celebrated his 100th birthday on October 25. To his family and friends, including Nellie Hensing and her family, we extend our sincere condolences. A private cremation was held for Kirk as was his wish.
Tinonee Hall Bunnings Barbecue
Tinonee Memorial Hall conducted a very successful barbecue at Bunnings on Saturday last. All were exhausted by the end of a very warm and busy day. Nine members worked the various shifts from 8am to the close at 4pm and would like to thank everyone for their support – thankfully there weren’t too many onion jokes and everyone was friendly and appreciative.
Tinonee Public School Presentation Day
Students and staff will head to Taree’s Manning Entertainment Centre on Thursday, December 8, for their end of year presentation. I hope to have a complete report in next week’s column.
