Our one and only pub only has about 5 poor souls in it at any given night,

and they all drive home

It's one of those pubs if the owner feels like shutting at 8pm, he does. Stuff the customers

Gary, thanks for that. I shall certainly add the info

I was invited by the Mayor to speak to council last night to get the ball rolling on the submission.

The other guest invited was Terry White from Central Highlands Sustainable Public Lighting Authority.

We both presented our goals (identical) to council, and they were very responsive and showed honest interest (especially about the money they can save with better lighting).

I had a call from the Mayor today to give me an update of the conversation after we left council chambers. She said it was well recieved and they will be persuing the matter further. The Mayor will be speaking briefly at Camp on Sunday evening to give us all an update of the proceedings and what's next.

Well, we are on our way! Lot's more meetings to go, but it is started.

Thank you to all who sent emails in support.
