It’s the Villagers who build the Village
Celebrating all the good stuff makes for a pretty special environment.
Main Beach's successes coninue to build through it's disconnection from the sport of public social critiquing and a greater focus on all the good stuff and the momentum it creates from the grass roots up. That's pretty basic and simplistic thinking, but it works.
A Community is people in proximatey.  A Village is more defined by a villager culture of 'we' galvanised around their shared vision, purpose and direction. It's a perception that finds it's own reality.  Destination Main Beach just helps our Villagers to achieve this.

Villagers with the VibeÂ
A little over 2 years ago, Kellie and Jenna took their vision head on and put all their skills and passion on the line and opened their cafe called called "Hot Shott."
Â
They transcended the norm and created a new vibe on Tedder - a vibe that beat expectations and hauling in awards and accolades from afar.
Â
Kelly and Jenna have not only redefined the corner of Tedder and Woodroffe Avenues, they have played a significant role in redefining our Village experience.Â
Â
Congratulations Kellie and Jenna you have created something special, and a special thank you to Kellie's Mum and Dad (Ron and Helen) you have made such a difference - sorry there is no flash award to go with this - just a bunch of words :)Â
Â
Â
Hot Shott has set in motion a villager vibe that is flourishing throughout all the lands of Main Beach, with Blacksmith, then Flowers on Tedder - the accolades don't stop there ...read moreÂ

Apologies to all those who signed up for the Christmas ride - we just couldn't fit it in our ever tightening schedule - perhaps someone could volunteer to set up next year - a foldup bike dress up event in a tight circuit around Tedder ??? Please let me know if you are up to this
Â
More Events
December 25 - 6:30am Deck Chairs on Tedder with a bit on the side - not really an event - more of a popup for lost coffee souls like myself. I have been doing this for years. Grab a deck chair and a takeaway coffee - and join me - you will have to bring your own bit of chrissie cheer on the side :)- last year was on the corner near Hard Coffee - who were selling takeaway coffee only.

Why is mould growing in my home?
There is no set season of the year where mould will grow, and it is an issue that can occur all year round. Mould will begin to form and grow on surfaces in your home when there is a combination of moisture and poor ventilation. If mould is left untreated in these conditions, it will typically begin to spread, becoming detrimental to your health and comfort of living... quick online quote

Deborah Kelly - re Cable Street Park
"Hi Steve, what a great job you have done with this community newsletter!! Thank you. I will look forward to the next edition.
Possible future topic: the history of Cable St Park. It’s a very interesting story, and a lot of people in Main Beach and beyond don’t seem to know about the importance of this tiny and much neglected park. There are some photos in the old Surf Pavilion showing cable laying work..[continue reading]

Field + Forest Photography:  We've always believed that the best photos are those that are hard to look away from. The kind that catch your eye and make you want to study every tiny detail and just as you think you've seen it all, you have to look back just once more to make sure you didn't miss anything  [view our portfolio]
