THE THUMBS
Thumbs Up to Chris at Battery World who went above and beyond giving us fast, efficient and courteous service. Well done Chris!
Thumbs Up to the person/persons from the village who gave us money to help with medical expenses while Lorraine was going through five weeks of radiation in Orange. Thank you from Jim and Lorraine.
Thumbs Up to senior constable Steph Mcilroy and constable Connor Jarrett for service above and beyond the call of duty and on a day where you were both already flat out. You are a great credit to Dubbo police, thank you. Too often our police get criticised, yet every day our local officers would be out there helping members of the community.
Thumbs Up – Who says customer service doesn’t exist in Dubbo? Not with two fabulous ladies, Lorraine at Specsavers and Janet at Millers. Both of you have gone above and beyond and my mum and I sincerely Thank You for your kindness, patience and exemplary customer service. See you again on another Sunday.
Thumbs Up to the Dubbo Regional Council staff who set up roadside message boards, traffic management inside the show ground and supplied showground workers for the Covid testing at short notice last Thursday in pouring rain, no whingeing from these guys.
Thumbs Up also to the Covid-testing crews, a job well done.
Thumbs Down to that very selfish couple from Melbourne who broke the restrictions in Victoria and travelled through inland NSW and into Queensland and put the health of so many people at risk. And that’s without mentioning the livelihoods of so many people in business who had to close up for an anxious period, get staff to isolate and spend extra money deep-cleaning their premises. The mental and financial stress must have been immense, and all because two selfish people were too ignorant to care about anyone other than themselves. That couple should face a large fine.
Thumbs Up
to everyone involved in the statewide U13 rugby union carnival held at Apex Oval over the June long weekend. Thousands of people made the trip to Dubbo from all across NSW and stayed at local motels, ate out at local restaurants, pubs and clubs and the visitors I spoke to were full of praise for the way the event was run, and also for our fantastic facilities at Apex Oval.
Thumbs Up to the good ‘ol 3801 locomotive and the organisers and volunteers who keep this legendary steam train running on the winding tracks, how many people were left with giant smiles on their faces after seeing the legendary monster and having a ride out to various outlying centres. It’s just so good to see the old skills that are needed to preserve the 3801 being safeguarded and passed on to new generations of rail enthusiasts.
Thumbs Down to the vandals stealing rocks from the lake wall at South Lakes, leaving muddy holes to erode.
