Thumbs Up
to all the wonderful people who work at Oncology at Dubbo Hospital.
Thumbs down
to the Medical Receptionist who cancelled my appointment and did not notify me. I travelled over 250km to be told that my appointment had been cancelled.
Thumbs Up
to Adrian at Harvey Norman. He went out of his way to fix a cable on our recliner. Thanks again.
&
Thumbs Up to Dubbo Council who helped make Harry & Meghan’s visit so wonderful.
Thumbs Up
to Glass & Window Centre at Dubbo for their great customer service on Tuesday last week.
&
Thumbs Up and thanks to the two kind gentlemen who rescued me when my car broke down near the roundabout at Fitzroy Street last Tuesday morning. They were very kind and most helpful. Also thank you to the NRMA for their speedy assistance.
&
Thumbs Up to the Dubbo Council for the excellent job they have done on No.2 and No.3 ovals with their picket fences. They now look like sporting fields again for the first time in many, many years.
&
Thumbs Up to the volunteers who laid the turf at the new picnic area at the bottom of Tamworth Street.
&
Thumbs Up to The Athlete’s Foot Dubbo. Great care and attention!
&
Thumbs Up to local business houses doing their best to keep Dubbo looking tidy by maintaining their frontages. The same can’t be said for DCC which seems to have lost the keys to the slasher.

Thumbs down to the person who took the walking stick from the bench in front of Easy Living Shoes in Macquarie Street on Friday, November 2. A walking stick is usually an indication of some form of disability and to steal from the disabled is about as low as you can go. Perhaps Karma will make sure that you will need that walking stick much earlier than you anticipated, or perhaps you might drop it in to the Police Station.
&
Thumbs Up to the electrician from Wayne Stonestreet Electrical who installed three ceiling fans for us. He was punctual, polite, attentive to keeping the workspace clean and tidy, and did a fantastic job at a reasonable rate. Thanks!
&
Thumbs Up and many thanks to the very kind gentleman who had already paid for our coffees at Café Delissio Orana Mall, and then disappeared. He was completely unknown to us. How very kind.
&
Thumbs Up to Sharon who gave me a bottle of cold water on a hot Thursday in the car park behind Macquarie Mall while I was waiting for the NRMA. My car self-locked with my purse and keys inside.

ORANA Physical Culture Club members and their families travelled to Parkes on the weekend of October 20 and 21 to compete against clubs from across the entire central west.
We are absolutely thrilled with everyone’s performances and results. Each girl and lady danced beautifully and performed to their very best. Some members have never competed at that level before, some made the finals for the very first time, some we awarded places and some took out first place to become Zone Champions.
All our members who won a place at Zone are now off to the BJP Nationals competition to compete against the very best girls and ladies from across the country. We wish Polly, Lucy, Matilda, Haylie, Giaan, Lauren, Rhiannon and Kylie the very best.
Orana Club entered two teams this year and both walked away with medals! Our 5-6 years team took out 3rd place and our 9-10 years team were awarded 4th place. Both teams performed beautifully and all the girls had a lot of fun.
We were very fortunate to have received a grant earlier in the year from Regional Australia Bank to assist us in purchasing brand new team leotards for our Orana members.
Orana Physie would also like to thank Macquarie Anglican Grammar School for making their hall, rooms and amazing facilities available to us all year and for being so accommodating.
Orana Physie teachers Sarah, Sarah, Rhiannon, Kristy and Holly are extremely proud of all our members. Their sportsmanship, comradery and performance on the competition floor is to be commended. The elation, joy and happy tears shown by our members is a reflection of the fun and friendships forged at Orana Physie Club this year.
