 You are invited to be a part of the ‘Glebe Community COVID Souvenir Sing!’ Have you seen any of the gallery style films of communities from around the world singing songs from the safety of their lounge rooms? Liz and Albert Lecoanet will be making this happen in Glebe (with the help of the City of Sydney). For all the details, see p.14 of the July Glebe Society Bulletin. Good news for our local footy club!The Dirty Reds are back! Just when you’d given up hope of watching footy in 2020, the NSWRL has today confirmed that Ron Massey Cup teams Wentworthville, Hills and the Dirty Reds will do battle with the North Sydney Bears, Cessnock Goannas and Maitland Pickers for the 2020 Presidents Cup. We will need all the support we can get, so keep an eye on our social media pages for further details! Competition will start early July. More details next week. Love the Bay Run?

Currently it is possible to do a loop from the Glebe foreshores via the Anzac Bridge, but there are too many places where you are forced to deviate along ugly roads – not to mention having to scale the massive Anzac Bridge! Imagine how much better the walk would be if it were foreshore all the way and included the gorgeous heritage-listed Glebe Island Bridge. The bridge should be returned to operation so it can once again be opened and closed, and used as a pedestrian/cycling pathway. Currently the bridge is being demolished by neglect – an absolute scandal! Check out the map - the blue line represents the proposed walk and the red line shows what is currently possible.
