Because it’s been seen so rarely, scientists still know very little about it. But its striking features are already sparking debate about whether it should be given special protection, and some have even argued it could become an icon species for Papua New Guinea.
At a time when we so often hear about species disappearing, the return of this little shark is a reminder that nature can surprise us ... and that there’s always reason to hope.

We hope this brings a smile!

Be early!!! Seating is limited and it will be the early birds that get to sit.
There will be no-one else admitted once the seating capacity has been reached.
Is there anyone in the Hurworth area with a milling machine able to cut a couple of slots for mounting a motor.
Looking at about 5-6mm mild steel.
Cheers

Research published this year has demonstrated that playing music helps keep dementia at bay - no matter how late in life the skill is picked up.
The basic idea behind this research is not new - we know that 'cognitive reserve' (learning new things) plays a big role in delaying mental slowdown. But the reminder that "it is never too late" is welcome ...
We hope this news brings a smile!
The talented and amazing pianist Rosa Scaffidi will be performing next month as part of the lunchtime concert series.

Several of the adult members of the Val Deakin Dance Theatre, as well as the 5- and 7-year-old Bliss sisters, will be dancing to a selection of music by Debussy, Satie and Poulenc. Some very well know pieces will be on the programme, and some less familiar ones as well. Because of the lovely venue, this will be a site-specific performance.
The performance will be on Wednesday, October 8th at 12:10 pm. Entrance by donation. Note your calendars!! :)
