Got A Bike In Your Shed? Sunday, 13th March is the day to dust off the cobwebs from your bikes and join a group of cyclists at the East Street end of the Pak Park cycle path. Whether you’re riding a trike, a flash mountain bike or a penny farthing, enjoy the 2km route with experienced riders who can help with your seat height and tyres. The event begins at 8am and will even include a mechanic to fix any minor repairs! For more information ring Peter on

Students Help Clean Up School! Students at Parkes Public School are participating in a tidy up of the school ground today as part of the ‘Clean up Australia Day Schools’ initiative. The school has been given packs which include gloves and rubbish bags and will present a great opportunity to teach students why it’s so important to look out for rubbish and clean up after themselves.

Circus Location Change: Australia’s largest animal circus has arrived in Parkes but has moved location! The new location of the circus, which will run until Sunday 6th March, is at Pioneer Oval, Alexandra Street. This family run circus is a must for lovers of our furry friends and includes mischievous monkeys, African lions and miniature trick ponies!
