Every month vintage car owners and enthusiasts in the Highlands gather to talk cars over coffee. They meet on the last Sunday at every month, 8am to 10am. Roll up and check out an array of classic, vintage, veteran, sports cars and much more. Due to a number of location changes, the group has been renamed from Bowral Cars & Coffee to Cars & Coffee Southern Highlands. This is a free community event with hot food, coffee and amenities available at the new meeting location Schmokin' in Berrima. Everyone is welcome, whether you bring your own classic car or just want to chat to fellow enthusiasts!

The Moss Vale Public School P&C (Parents and Citizen's Association) are gearing up for the Country Fair. This is the biggest and best event on the P&C calendar and they are thrilled to host it once again, especially as the last fair was way back in 2019! The fair will be held on Friday, 4th November from 4pm to 7pm. All money raised at the fair will go straight to the school to create an accessible sensory sand-play area for the kids to enjoy together. They're looking forward to welcoming the community to support this great cause.
