OAC is delighted to have the fabulous six-piece band the 66Ers playing all the old favourites from the 60s.
There will be lucky door prizes, great raffle prizes and a Christmas hamper auction thanks to Brian Harman.
We hope the Oberon community will support this fabulous concert as we try to raise some money to put towards a defibrillator for the Oberon Golf Club.
Everyone needs a great day out and we assure you this will be good!
Bring some nibbles for your table and your meat to barbecue - salad, tea and coffee provided.
This group played on Sunday at the Bathurst Markets to a most appreciative audience – they just kept playing and everyone loved it. So come along and see for yourself.
WRITERS’ BRUNCH
WRITERS are welcome to attend a writers' brunch at Mayfield Garden in Oberon this Sunday, November 26 from 10am to noon. It's the monthly catch-up for the Central West Freelance Writers' Group, who meet in a different town each month just to keep things interesting.
Members write for pay or pleasure in a range of genres.
Bring along a piece of your writing for feedback, plus be prepared to do a little writing, if that's what we all decide at the brunch.
Please RSVP so your seat can be reserved. No cost to attend, but pay for your own cuppa and brunch. Looking forward to hearing how your respective writing journeys are going! Contact margaret.paton1@gmail.com or 0417 423 812.
SCIENCE AWARD
THIRTY-FOUR year 11 students from the Dubbo and Orange region will be awarded a Victor Chang School Science Award for their passion and outstanding achievements in the field of science and Oberon High School student Jasmin Nobel is one of them.
Nominated by their teachers, these bright students are being acknowledged for their tenacity and commitment in the classroom, despite a nationwide decline in participation in school science.
Enrolments in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects are at the lowest level in over two decades.
Named after the late cardiac surgeon and pioneer of modern heart transplantation, the Victor Chang School Science Awards were established to celebrate young, gifted students and to foster growth in scientific studies.
According to Dr Ralph Patrick from the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute, nurturing the future of Australian research is vital.
“Through acknowledging these young students we’re giving the next generation of scientists the opportunity to see how research can directly touch people’s everyday lives,” he said.
