SRA RESPONSE TO VISTA ESTATE RENAMING PROPOSAL
The Singleton Residents' Association Committee has decided on its vote in the postal survey by the City of Rockingham regarding the possible renaming of the Vista Estate Karnup and a potential merger with Singleton. Our vote will be for the Estate to remain as Karnup, and we have no objection to a renaming of the Estate as Paganoni. However, if there is a majority vote from the residents of Vista Estate wishing to merge with Singleton, then we request a postal survey of the households in Singleton.
The basis for our decision is from the comments we have received from the Singleton community at our meeting and from the online survey we hosted. The overwhelming responses we have received do not support a merger with Singleton at this stage. In regards to the online survey, we are not publishing the vote due to the data being unreliable. However, instead we have made the comments that were received available via the link below.

Anglican Op Shop Singleton
The Singleton Residents' Association was recently made aware of ongoing problems of people dumping rubbish at the collection bin for the Anglican Op Shop in Singleton. Many of the items being dumped are obviously not saleable for the Op Shop and the volunteer staff are being inconvenienced to remove the rubbish at their time and cost.
We ask that people please only place saleable goods at the collection bins for the Op Shop. That way, the time and money of the staff are not wasted and the shop can raise money for others in need.

Comet Bay Bowling Club is a small and friendly club, with the men and women joining as one club to play social bowls together. All positions are voluntary as is all the work and labour done around the club. A group of men meet every Monday morning to work on the club surrounds, with the ladies undertaking the more domestic side of the club.
The management committee is very active in making sure the club runs smoothly. Our Club is situated in a fast developing area, and the club aims to make changes to cater for an expected increase in membership. In recent years we have installed lights and carpeted both our greens.
In 2017 our club will be part of the new Singleton Social and Sporting Club at present being established by the City of Rockingham Council. This will result in a new club rooms adjacent to our greens, so we can move from the current temporary clubhouse into a larger, more comfortable and modern club rooms.
Our club makes a continual effort with fundraising in order to achieve financial stability. There are several ways in which we invite businesses to assist us.
- Sponsorship of a Club event for $350 or more.
- Placement of a business sign for an initial $100.
- Placement of an advertisement in our annual fixture book from $100 for a half page to $200 for a full page.
- A donation of goods or vouchers to be used for raffles or prizes.
We thank all our present sponsors and invite others to join us.

MUSIC JAM SESSIONS IN MADORA BAY
Hi Everyone, I am not sure if you are aware that the Madora Bay Community Association has started off a community Jam Session at the Madora Bay Hall – (top of the hill) Orelia St. Madora Bay. (this was advertised on the Madora Bay Community Association Facebook page) If you are musically inclined or a singer; or just wish to come along; then you are most welcome to attend. Presently there is no cost; but this is under review and a small charge to contribute towards costs may be introduced.
Currently this is scheduled for each second Thursday from 7pm to 9pm.
The music Genre so far has been generally Rock & Roll/Blues style by such artists as JJ Cale, Eric Clapton, Santana, The Doors; you can suggest songs to play too. The overall plan is to join like-minded people together, have some fun and eventually possibly play for community events like dances, Christmas Carols and the like. So if you would like to come to the next session to be held next week on Thursday 12 May 2016 from 7pm to 9pm (or future sessions); please contact me by email or phone to get on the mailing list or if you have any queries or otherwise, just turn up? (I have the songsheets for the songs played if you would like a copy) Kind Regards, Kim Dartnall Committee Member – Madora Bay Community Association Mob: 0405 406 269 Email: kim.dartnall@bigpond.com

SNAKES
Summer is almost here and snakes are VERY ACTIVE at this time of the year. A number of snakes have already been spotted in Singleton.
If you find a snake, keep an eye on it to see where it goes, keep your distance and your pets shut away. Call the Snake Whisperer 0439 941 004 (Secret Harbour) and he will relocate the snake safely.
The following link provides valuable information about snakes that inhabit the South West of WA. You must consider all snakes as potentially dangerous and avoid where possible.
