The Friends of Beyond Management Committee has agreed that a monthly email newsletter is the best means for regular communication with members of the Friends of Beyond Association. Any important member information that may arise outside of the newsletter will be emailed directly to members. The aim of the newsletter is to provide members with news from the FOB Management Committee and Alexandrina Council and to enhance a sense of community through feature articles about residents, the Beyond environment, flora and fauna and local ideas, events and projects.

We are still experiencing a variable climate at the moment with a mix of rain and sunshine! And haven’t the weeds been enjoying it! However we are fast approaching summer, the holiday season and the end of 2020. In many ways it is good to start looking forward to a new year after the trials and tribulations both here in Australia and around the world.

However it is important to remember that as we have all experienced the restrictions associated with COVID-19, we have had the option to go out and meet and greet local residents in the many paths and reserves of Beyond while still social distancing. And we are indeed fortunate to always have the opportunity to revel in our beautiful surroundings and the flora and fauna of Beyond rather than being isolated indoors like some.

And it is this appreciation that has led to the recent formation of the Friends of Beyond Association to preserve and improve our wonderful community assets.
