Local Artist, Liz Darmody has created a new version on canvas of the old Carcoar Football Emblem "The Crow". She was inspired by Garry Nixon's old footy jumper which has the original emblem embroided on it. The 2017 "Crow" is a modern 'all-rounder' dressed in Carcoar colours of blue and black and carrying a cricket bat, tennis racquet and a football. All who see him agree that he is a most handsome crow with big, broad shoulders and a fuller figure in the middle. The painting hangs in the Royal Hotel and has been purchased by Chris and Trish Stonestreet who have donated it to the Club.

'Revive' Project Gets Green Light
Blayney Shire Parks and Gardens Manager, Brian Parker is pleased to announce that the grant application for the second stage of Carcoar's Pound Flat Revive Project has been successful and that a further $54,000 has been allocated by the NSW Environmental Trust Office of Environment and Heritage. The new funds will allow for the expansion of the 'Revive Project' to include the area on the eastern side of the Coombing Street causeway which will extend as far as the eastern boundary of the Show Ground. On a recent visit NSW Fisheries delegates were very impressed with the work formerly done and are keen to engage with council and the community on the next stage. Already there are signs of increased wildlife in the area and it has been suggested that guided night tours would be a great way of highlighting the benefits of improved biodiversity in the area.
Work on the next stage will begin later this year and will include the removal of weed willows, replanting with native stock and the installation of snags in the river. It is expected that the project will wrap up in 2020.
