A HUGE thank you to those who attended our Christmas BBQ today - you made it great.

Thank you to Cameron Dick for you exceptional (and strangely lucky) Raffle drawing skills.

To Sandy, Errolyn, Mel, Hank, David, Barry and kids - thank you for putting it on and keeping everyone entertained on the day.

And to our supporters at QPS thank you again for attending and supporting our community in the good times and not so good times (Justin don't share the mince pies - except with Mel!!)

Don't forget to keep any eye on this blog for upcoming meetings and events and if you have any photos from the BBQ please email them to us at nhwmarsden@gmail.com.

From Snr Sergeant Mulhern Crestmead Police Station:

In relation to increased thefts from motor vehicle across Crestmead and Marsden - 

“Over the past months there has been a rise in the number of instances of stealing of property from motor vehicles in the suburbs of Crestmead and Marsden. A majority of these stealing offences have occurred from vehicles parked in or at the front of private residences between the hours 4am and 12md. 

Crestmead Police are conducting patrols and investigations in an attempt to reduce and solve these offences but we request vehicle owners to make sure that valuables are not left inside vehicle and make sure that your vehicle is locked whenever you leave it unattended.

You can also assist in the prevention of number plate thefts by replacing your number plate screws with SafePlate Screws which are available to be fitted to your vehicle at Crestmead Police Station each Friday between 9am and 12md.

Residents of Marsden!!

As you know we have our NHW BBQ next Sunday - and we need your help.

Can you 

1. volunteer an hour or even half hour to help cook, set up, pull down or supervise on the day?
2. lend us your (in good working order) BBQ for the day?

If so please contact Sandy on 0409 206 625
