REMINDER ABOUT SUNDAY

11.09.2011
DEFEND OUR WATER
A reminder that the Running Stream Water Users’ Association is marking its 20th Anniversary at the start of National Water Week 2011 by celebrating the vitality of the Ilford/Running Stream water resource.

In collaboration with many other community groups around the country whose water is currently under threat from coal and coal seam gas industries, the Association will recognise this special day by supporting the movement to Defend Our Water.

At noon on Sunday October 16, members and friends are invited to gather at the Running Stream Hall for a picnic at the source of Running Stream.

This day also marks the official launch ‘The Puggles Club’, a sub-branch of the Association for kids. For more information on the Puggles Club: http://pugglesclub.blogspot.com.

And for more information on National Water Week: http://www.nationalwaterweek.org.au/index.php Our event is listed under ‘Defend Our Water’. There are also important water facts to be found there such as this:

“Australia is the driest inhabited continent, with a limited supply of fresh water. Water must be used wisely if there is to be enough to meet the needs of future generations.”
With this is mind we continue our mission to protect our water resource from the impacts of proposed coal mining in the area.
Come and help us! Bring a hamper! We look forward to seeing you there!
