Welcome to the September 2025 edition of the Milang Community News.
I will not hide the fact that I am a little bit excited to welcome Spring and hopefully some lovely warmer days.
It was great to see the community rally around and save the beautiful Norfolk Pine from being chopped down (for now at least), well done to all involved. (see page 11).
SALA was also held at Clayton Bay during August and you will find some fabulous photo’s on pages 12/13).
The MADCA AGM was held on Thursday 28th August 2025 and Wayne Footer has been appointed to the position of Chairperson (previously known as the role of President), congratulations Wayne, please see his report on the next page.
Please stay safe, keep warm and have a great month.
Cheers
Cathy Fish
