Hello Mentors (and 2 nearly-Mentors)
Just to let you know that Chris Brydon, from Modra Technology, showed his engineering skills today and replaced ALL 4 L signs cos THEY WERE ALL WRECKED!  Were your Learners chucking them in the boot at the end of each drive? Were you defending yourselves from errant cows or kangaroos on the road???
Whatever the problem, they are all new again, so that’s a better look.

The cars look dirty. PLEASE PLEASE MAKE THE LEARNERS WASH THE CARS ….A LOT OF TIMES. They can bring a couple of $ coins and pay for it themselves.

The interiors are also fairly awful. PLEASE PLEASE TAKE ALONG A DAMP CLOTH OR MATERIAL AND MAKE THE LEARNERS WIPE DOWN THE SURFACES. There’s a vacuum cleaner at Community House. That could be used too.

It’s Friday.

Oh, 5 Mentors gathered at Luciano’s on Thursday and put some ideas down about advertising.
As a result, I’ve taken these to The Copy Centre and the team of Dave & Michelle & Julie will develop a draft early next week. Wait for that!

The Shire Council Briefing happened on Wednesday at 5:00pm. Haven’t had any Councillors knocking at my cave entrance yet to find out more, but we will continue to work on their involvement. Thank you to all the folk who came along to show how gutsy we all are.

Thankyou to Mentor Marion, who’s agreed to represent L2P at the Motorfest at Lardner Park on 8th & 9th March. Anyone thinking they could join her???

Marion and I are going to a SP Ausnet talk at the Warragul Country Club next Monday at 5:00pm. There will be nibbles and I’m really looking forward to hearing about all the projects and activities of SPAustnet. Also, we will be putting L2P details onto the entry paperwork and that will entitle us to be in the draw for $1,000. Doesn’t that sound fascinating? Marion and I may have a long long evening at the Country Club. Any other takers?

The manual blue car is being serviced next Tuesday because of ‘funny noises’. I spent 12 minutes at Barry Bourke Warragul this morning, attempting to arrange a new car, but mysteriously, staff members seemed to disappear. oh well, I’ll try again next week, after the service.

The google booking calendar seems to be working…apart from several overlapping bookings and my sincerest apologies about that. It is so much easier to see when the cars are available.

Perhaps I should go home.
VicRoads is “reviewing” our program in 2 weeks – lots of paperwork to check. I might ring you to ask for some updated signatures if I find anything amiss.

Enjoy the good weather. Listen out for the Eastern Spinebills…they’ve just returned. The Grey Butcherbirds are singing heaps and the Rainbow Lorikeets are competing with Eastern Rosellas for blossom. How about those damned Little Corellas?? The population has really exploded and if you can get a look at the Corellas through binoculars, you’ll see they are really really ugly. Wedge tailed Eagles are being sighted in paddocks. Please let me know if there are any near you. I just LERV them.
