NOT long back, Hill Street resident, Sea Eagles supporter and Telstra employee GJ Natty found himself in a situation where his dog Hairy was barking up a storm in his backyard while there was a party going on next door. Riley came up with the solution of locking his hound in the outside dunny but the story doesn't end there.

NEXT morning Riley couldn't find his Hairy mate so he jumped in his vehicle and went for a drive around town in search of his pooch. Suddenly Gary realised he hadn't let Harry out of his confined space and wasn't there some tail-wagging going on when he did.
ONE of the first two customers at the pool on opening day last Saturday was young Toby Rizzi and his mother Kathy. When they were leaving Kath asked me if I had a big snake, to which the reply was no I haven't but I can sell you a Killer Python. Straight away Kathy realised what she had said before going a shade of red.
SWIMMING Club held its sign-on day last Tuesday with around 80 kids registering for the upcoming season and that included at least 10 new members. Fllippers conduct their weekly swim meetings after school on Tuesdays and still have spare spots for anyone interested in going.
THE first Walcha world record set this season goes to Poppy McLaren who stopped the clock at 41.47 seconds to break her own 12 years age division 50m breaststroke time. Going on previous years no doubt there will be plenty more records broken during the 2019/2020 season. Way to go Poppy.
THERE is a big difference between Annabelle and Anna Bell. At a recent Walcha Council first aid course conducted by paramedic Scotty Upward he started the season session by asking everyone to say who they were and what position they held in the organisation.
WHEN it came to new pool attendant Annabelle Green she introduced herself with just her Christian name which surprised Johnny Bell because he thought his daughter Tracy and himself were the only Bells in town. No John, Annabelle not Anna Bell.
THE pool is off and running this season and although the low night-time temperatures have kept the water refreshing so far, the future weather forecast should raise the temperature fairly quickly. Hope to see you come in for a dip.
THE Apsley Arms Hotel has changed hands after new licensee Kathy Knaggs and her partner Rod Grey took over from Graham Hislop and Lizzy Mann last weekend. Kathy has one of her good friends Jen Evans giving her a hand at the moment as they settle into their new environment. A big warm welcome to Walcha girls.
WHO said romance and chivalry are dead in 2019? Last Sunday 'Coomooloo' grazier Lee Fletcher hit the most accurate tee shot at the ninth pin during his golf round and when he went to put his name on the NTP card, he noticed the previous best was by his wife Ruth who ended up winning the prize after 'Lethal' chose not to write his name down.
STILL at the golf club, the player who registers the least amount of putts during the stroke medal round collects the Manly Sea Eagles shirt which last Sunday went to Col Berry after he engaged his flat stick on 22 occasions.
WORD has it when Col was presented with the shirt the Parramatta supporter suggested to Manly Warringah tragic 'Smithy' that he should take the Eagles shirt to Nambucca with him when he leaves in a few weeks time.
ALTHOUGH it certainly isn't his fault, Walcha engineer Dylan Reeves is disappointed the new tables and chairs have not arrived for the pool as yet. 'Bob' ordered the outdoor furniture over two months ago but apparently, there is a problem with the suppliers despite their assurance the equipment should have been here. Hopefully that will happen sooner rather than later.
