Lions Clubs have been busy again. In the Spring edition of The Flame, I wrote of a Community Fair conducted by a southern Sydney Lions Club. We travelled north to witness how well this event is going. After 44 years, the fair has grown so much that the venue has moved three times. Unfortunately, 2025 was the last such popular event. The local council intends to make extensive changes to the current park, and there is no other park in the area large enough to accommodate the ever-increasing fair.

In September, Shellharbour City Council staged their Eats and Beats street day in Central Avenue, Oak Flats. The weather was not ideal – although sunny, the wind was very blusterly, so participants struggled to erect their marquees and signs. By early afternoon, the crowd started to head home.

Fortunately, Oak Flats Lions Club kept our Book Shop door open later than usual on a Saturday and the store turned out to be a safe haven. Our staff received many compliments, with visitors saying the shop was well presented and authors easy to find.

The Book Shop is at 59a Central Avenue, Oak Flats. We stock an extensive range of novels written by well-known and popular authors, plus hundreds of top-quality childrens’ books. If you are looking for a particular DVD or Blu-ray, chances are we have it on our shelf. You can also pick up extra copies of The Flame. We are open Monday through to Friday. 9am until 4pm and Saturday 9am-1pm. 

This year the Book Shop will close for the Christmas-New Year break on Friday, December 19 at 4pm and re-open on Monday, January 5 at 9am. The president and members of Oak Flats Lions Club would like to wish all our customers and visitors a Happy Festive Season and we look forward to welcoming you in the New Year.
