Editor, The Times:
It is no great secret that some individuals living in Upper Clearwater do not get along too well. Apparently, differences go back many years.
Whatever the rights and wrongs are that led to director Schaffer's survey, it is now out there. The results will speak for themselves. It may be a very positive thing that we take a fresh look at an agreement that was made 10 years ago.
Whichever way the result goes, the Upper Clearwater Farmers' Institute will do its best to continue operating the hall for the enjoyment of all.
The financial assistance given over previous years, combined with considerable voluntary labour, has built something rather special.
The hall is still available for use, not just by local residents, but for the wider community of Clearwater and beyond. The rental fees are very reasonable.
Come see for yourself!
Nick Frost, secretary
Upper Clearwater Farmers Institute
