The Chambers of the Black Hand is holding a meeting at the Lightning Ridge Bowling Club on March 31 2010 at 7pm.

Twenty-two young people attended the Walgett Shire Youth Council AGM on Thursday March 4 2010 at the John Murray Meeting Room at the Lightning Ridge Bowling Club.

At the meeting of the Walgett Shire Council on Tuesday February 23, a tender was awarded to Bowyer Constructions to erect a toilet block on Harlequin Street in Lightning Ridge.

On March 1 and 2, 23 students from Lightning Ridge Central School travelled to Armidale to compete in the North-West Regional Carnivals. Eighteen of these students were from the primary school, while five students from the high school competed.

After much indecision because of the weather last Sunday March 7, the Opening Day went ahead with 14 players, who were very happy that it did. It was a very pleasant day for golf with just a slight mist of rain, but not enough to wet you.
