Obslife, Mar 2011

Local crafter Hailey Phillips made the welcome-to-Observatory mosaic signpost and notice board on the wall of the Hartleyvale stadium at the Station Road entrance to Observatory. The mural was commissioned by the OBSID,  which is planning to erect signs at all the entrances to Observatory.  The notice board has already been used to advertise  community sport events on the Village Green. Community organisations wishing to announce events on the notice board can contact the OBSID offices at 021 448 7090.
