Passengers aboard the Memo Club’s courtesy bus last Saturday received a shock when a rock came flying through the side window, shattering glass everywhere.
Luckily the passengers were uninjured, however it meant the Memo was without a bus for a few days while it was in for repairs.
To add insult to injury, the same thing happened on the prior Saturday, costing the Memo around $1,000 in repairs in a single week.
What’s meant to be the time of giving in the lead-up to Christmas, it seems the disrespectful youths in town are determined to be the grinches – causing emotional and financial anguish to residents and businesses.
Little Rippers had entered the Barkly Regional Council’s Christmas Lights Competition, however vandals broke or stole their lights and decorations, causing staff to take what was left down.
The Memo Club’s courtesy bus will be up and running at 4pm today ready for the last two nights before Christmas.
However, if it happens again, members and guests will have to wait a while for the free service to resume due to the upcoming Christmas and New Year public holidays.
