‘I REMEMBER WHEN....’
HAVE YOU GOT A STORY TO TELL?
How many times have you been with a group of friends or relatives yarning about things that have happened in the past?  Has anyone ever said, "You should write that down because when you're gone, so is the experience!" 
We would like to encourage our 60 years (young) and over population to write down some "life experiences" so that they can be made available to others. Specially the younger generation. Many of the things we took for granted when we were children belong to a different world, to what our children and grandchildren experience. All these experiences are a part of history.  Would you be interested in meeting as a group to discuss the possibility of putting some of these experiences onto paper?  You don't have to be a story writer because when you write from experience the words just come! 
This course is a first for the Community College-Northern Inland, so please come along and put those memories onto paper – forever.
When: Commencing Wednesday 21 Oct 4 – 6pm; 92 Queen Street, Barraba. No final enrolment date for this course.

A HAPPY and HEALTHIER YOU!
Do you feel yuk? Think it would be great to learn some more about nutrition and exercise? Come along and see how to change your eating habits without going overboard or making yourself ill. This course is to encourage people to make informed decisions about how to look after themselves and perhaps shed those few kilos that don’t seem to want to go anywhere.
