"Rosa the Templer Community Bus"
The purchase of a 25 seat bus for the Templer Community which was approved by
the Regional Council at the May 2005 meeting is complete.
Rosa (the bus) has now been delivered and is parked at the Bayswater Hall. A
small group has been formed to manage the bus operations. The Templer Community
Bus Operations Group (TCBOG) is currently obtaining accreditation to enable us
to take passengers and we are also responsible for taking bookings for the bus
and providing drivers. We currently have 9 drivers who are Templer Community
members with appropriate licences that have volunteered to become bus drivers.
It is anticipated that everything will be in place to commence operation by
early July.
The bus will be used for "official" Templer Community activities which will
be advertised in the Templer Record. The bus may also be "booked" by members of
the TSA for "private" use (kindergarten, shopping tours, sports club outings,
friends groups outings, winery tours, camping holidays etc etc)
Bookings for the bus can be made by contacting:
the TSA Office on 9557 6713 (bh)
or TCBOG on
email : tsa_bus@yahoo.com.au
The bus usage/bookings can be viewed at :

so that people can see when the bus is in use and when it is available for
"hire".
