Rotary members return from opening of Forbes project
Members from the Rotary Club of Umina Beach have recently returned from a visit to the city of Forbes in the NSW Central West.
The Rotary Clubs of Umina Beach and Forbes joined to refurbish the Moombi Hall Recreation Area, located half way between Forbes and Condoblin.
The Umina Beach members attended the official opening of the area.
The project provides camping facilities for Brisbane Water Secondary College agriculture students on their annual visit to the local Coles family farm.
Owners Mr and Mrs Richard and Heather Coles have provided high quality animals for students to raise, groom and show at agricultural shows, said Rotary club publicity officer Mr Pat Lewis.
"They also host a group of students on their farm every year giving them a week's invaluable insight into farm work and farm life, an experience far removed from the beach surroundings they are used to."
Mr Lewis said the refurbished area would also provide accommodation for activities for local schools and groups in the Forbes and Condobolin communities.
