The residents also�received a handmade card from the�students and got to meet the�performers at the end of the concert�to thank them in person.

Supporters, families, along with�Agricultural Societies from the South�West gathered on June 29th at the�Dinninup Hall to watch the finals of�the Rural Ambassador award.�The award is open to young men and�women between 20 and 30 years of�age who have an Agricultural�background or affinity, who would like�to further networking, communication�and promotion of youth in the�Agricultural Sector, and enjoy a�challenge.�Local farmer Anthony Snell�represented Waroona, commencing�with an initial trial final and dinner held�at the Drakesbrook Tavern. At the�finals, Anthony and three other South�West representatives presented�judges with their resumes, delivered a�two minute speech on a rural topic of�their interest and then were�questioned on issues facing Rural�Australia today.�Supporters were entertained by a�fashion parade, a local choir and an�Australian Bush Poet whilst the�entrants were being judged. Anthony�spoke of his involvement with his�families Beef farming operations both�
in Waroona and at Wongawol and�Carniegie Stations in the north. He�then stated his concern over the�divide of understanding between city�and rural backgrounds and the need�to broaden the city knowledge of rural�concerns through social media.�The South West finals were won by�Jessica Sheehan from Donnybrook,�however Anthony's farming�knowledge and experience were�obvious through his meaningful�speech.�Anthony is the Rural Ambassador for�the Waroona Show and amongst his�other community involvement, will be,�as his family has done for many�years, assisting with the many helpers�at the 2013 Waroona Show on�October 12th.�
Congratulations Anthony! �

Contemporary writing is a composition�that is set in the ‘here and now’. This is�where the setting, characters, and�dialogue are modern. For example, in�a contemporary setting we would have�the technological advances of the day.�These would include cars, telephones,�and computers to name a few. The�characters would dress in modern�clothing such as jeans and sneakers,�and would possibly have piercings,�modern hairstyles etc. The dialogue�would carry the popular sayings of the�day, common words, euphemisms and�expressions, such as ‘whatever’, ‘no�problem’, ‘babe’, ‘what-the-hell’,�‘Google’, ‘LOL’ etc. All these things�need to be taken into consideration. It�is easy to revert to the speech an�author may have used in a different�era, so the writer needs to be vigilant�in these matters when writing a�contemporary story.�To connect with Jeanette go to her�website�:�www.jeanettehornby.com.au�

Due to the�recent cold snap�in the weather,�there has been a�call for scarves�and beanies so�our ladies have�
been busily knitting scarves for�Vinnies as well as beanies for the new�babies at Peel Health Campus.�Thanks go to Yvonne, Ella and�another lady whose name we did not�catch. Please let us know who you�are! All these beanies were made�from the pattern published in Last�Month’s Despatch. Judy gave us a�very interesting talk on the work of St�Vinnies in general. We never realised�just how much call there is for help in�
the community, yes, even in small�country communities such as ours.�Times are proving difficult for many�people. To help us help others we�still need donations of wool (8ply is�our favourite) and fibre fill which can�be left at the library.�In September we are having a talk by�Suzanne Hunter on the work of the�Strong Angels, a group in Gelorup�who support an orphanage in Bali.�Her website�[email protected]� tells�us of the great work they do there.�Donations of children’s wear,�household linen and school supplies�are very welcome.�Nola Turner�

We recently farewelled one of our�very much loved members,�
Bobbie Plotecki. It was with great�sadness we attended the service�held at St John’s Anglican Church�and it was our privilege to host the�luncheon for her family and friends�
who came from Perth and the�Eastern States to say their�
farewell. Bobbie was a member�for many years and President until�
her illness caused her to leave�Waroona. As “Mrs Polly,” she was�
very popular with the children in�our after-school classes in recent�years. We extend our sympathy to�
her children, grandchildren and�great grandchildren – they have�lost a gentle, loving nanna. We�
have lost a gentle friend.�

Waroona Pensioners Social Club�Our July meeting was our AGM and�Eileen Doran our President,�announced her retirement after 22�years at the helm, so she did not�stand for re-election. She did,�however, agree to take on the position�of Vice President for 12 months to�ensure a smooth transition. Eileen will�be a hard-act to follow but our new�President, Dot Hansen, who has been�our very able Secretary for 7 years,�will we are sure, soon settle into the�job. The new Secretary is Grace Lay�and Jan Lepper was re-elected�unopposed to the position of�Treasurer. Eileen thanked the club�members for the support and respect�they had always shown her. Our�monthly Bingo on the last Friday of�the month at the Senior Citizen’s�Centre starting at 1.30 p.m. will�continue and everyone is welcome to�
attend. You do not have to be a�Pensioner’s Club member. It would be�good to see some new faces there.�Money raised helps finance our�outings.

Do you ever wonder�how our local roads get�their name and what is�the story behind the�name?�We recently learnt�more about where the�
road name Wingate Vista originated�when we received an enquiry from the�great-great granddaughter of John�Sutton. Wingate was the name of the�property owned by John and Betsy�Sutton of Burney Road in Hamel. John�Sutton was the first secretary and a�member of the Drakesbrook Settlers�Association which later became the�Drakesbrook Road Board and in that�capacity was never backward in�expressing his opinions. Mr. Sutton�took part in almost every movement�that would contribute to the prosperity�and progress of this district, also being�a local preacher for the Methodist�Church. John was also a keen apiarist�and so named his farm Wingate Bee�Farm. John became the State’s first�bee and apiary inspector for the WA�Agriculture Bureau and presided as a�honey judge at the Royal WA�Agricultural Society Show in the early�1900’s and also travelled the suburbs�giving talks on bee keeping. The�Waroona Historical Society now has�two photographs to add to the�collection thanks to his great-great�granddaughter – a portrait of John and�Betsy and a scene of bee hives at�Wingate Bee Farm. Both pictures can�be found on our Facebook Page and�also the Society’s website -�http://waroonahistsoc.myclub.org.au�

some cases adventures.�Vickie Cooper, Don Murphy’s�daughter, brought along daily time�books and pass for Alcoa’s Pinjarra�site. Working days and conditions�were clearly very different.

What a day!�What a great�crowd! Good on�you Waroona for�your awesome�spirit in giving�towards the�
Cancer Council WA. My friend Fiona�Wells who passed away two years to�the date of our BMT , would be so�happy to see how far we’ve come.�This year we choose to do our BMT at�the Waroona Farmers Market due to�the success at my home last year�raising a wonderful $7500 –�Mohawking in Memory of Fiona Wells,�and hoping to get more people to the�Local Farmers Market, to make it a�‘Win/Win’ situation for everyone, the�Lions Club kindly donated their trailer�and crew for the Big Breaky with�volunteers Linley Young, David�Battye, Gail Black and Glen Millier.�We also had a mulch raffle which was�won by Lisa Carrati and wine raffle�won by Roly Richardson (hot-rodder).�We also had The Biggest Morning�Tea in the hall. This was run by my�sisters Shirley Ducker, Denise Eade�and friend Barbara Hunt who catered�for a nice crowd. Also thank you to the�wonderful people who made cakes�and all the yummy goodies, on top of�all this we had a truck load of native�plants donated by WA Horticultural�Services. All proceeds from BMT,�Lions trailer, Raffles, Cakes and�Trash n Treasure raised a wonderful�$3000 on the day, with another $1500�
on line donations and pledges making a�wonderful success of $4500.�I would also like to say thank you to all�the Hot Rodders who brought their cars�to show on this very cold but Sunny�morning, all the people who donated�part proceeds from their stalls,�Waroona Tourist Centre and Post�Office for the donations to the BMT�Raffle. Also all the volunteers and�everyone who joined the spirit, and�local papers and radio who advertised�this event. These events are not only�about Fund Raising for a cause, but it is�also about Community Spirit and once�a again I Thank you Waroona for your�help.�Also a reminder to everyone who didn’t�come to the Farmers Market last�month, please try to go this month it’s�worth the visit for the whole family,�there is so much there Breakfast,�Conserves, Pickles, fruit and vegies,�gifts, really cool handbags and hair�
pieces, jewellery, candles, a man that�makes cool stuff out of recycled�things, body wraps, embroidery work,�baby goods, trash n treasure, ice�cream, cactus lady, Lena Deleo the�list goes on!�Why I do this was a question a friend�asked. I started doing this with a�friend Fiona Wells when she first got�Lung Cancer in 2009, Fiona saw how�much the Cancer Council helped her�with her illness and approached me to�do a Big Morning Tea together. Since�both of us don’t do anything by halves�we did a Trash n Treasure and BMT�and raised over $2500. The next year�Fi wasn’t well but we proceeded with�the cause raising $1200 , Fiona later�passed away on the 7�th� July. Last�year my friend was gone, but I�decided in memory to go hard at my�home with Hot rods, BBQ ,BMT AND�Mohaking raising a whopping $7500.�Since my friend got Cancer it has�opened my eyes to all the people�around us that have been touched by�cancer and the help that is needed.�Our Government doesn’t fund�everything and an illness like this can�be so draining on families in so many�ways, so for me I do this, as I can’t�walk away and stop helping our�friends and families around us.�Donations and Comments can still be�made to�http://�wa.cancercouncilfundraising.org.au/�thinkpinkforfriendsandfamily2013�, �

Building a Tradition – 4�th� Annual Foodbank Run Set to Begin�For three years now, Nationals’ Member for the South West Region Hon. Colin Holt has done an annual�Food Drive for Foodbank WA. Travelling from Mandurah to Albany collecting food donations and�delivering them to local Foodbank Branches. Delivering more than 7 tonnes of food – the equivalent of�11,000 meals.�
These donations have proven to be making a tremendous difference,�directly helping members of our own community. Last year saw a fantastic�response from the South West community; the donations provided a much�needed boost to the supplies at Foodbank depots across the South West�Region.�
Preparations have begun for the fourth Run, Foodbank will soon be delivering the�bins to local stores in your area – look out for the large maroon bins at your local�store. Every donation makes a difference; even a tin of soup is truly appreciated.�
Other businesses are also providing essential support for the run,�this year the team at�Classic Hire� have generously donated the�use of one of their trailers for the duration of the run.�
In September, I will drive around and collect the bins, delivering them to the nearest�Foodbank branch.�
“I call on anyone who is able to, to please help this worthwhile charity.”�
Anyone wishing to contribute can contact Mr Holt’s Office on 98417144 to find out more information.�
Foodbank WA is the pantry for the welfare sector and in partnership with over 1200 agencies it delivers�hunger relief to people state wide. It also operates life changing health programs including the Schools�Breakfast Program which provides a healthy breakfast to more than 15,000 students every week. Each�month 55,000 Western Australians receive food that has originated from Foodbank WA. Many of the�beneficiaries of Foodbank are located in regional WA and our support will help many families.�For additional information on Foodbank please visit�http://www.foodbankwa.org.au�

Animal trackers Part 1: Livestock identification�Some small landholders who own, say, just a riding pony or a pet alpaca may believe they are exempt from the livestock�ownership and identification regulations under the Biosecurity and Agriculture Management Act 2007, or they may not�even be aware of the legislation. All livestock owners, even of a single animal, must register as such. They will be issued�with a card containing their Property Identification Code (PIC) for the property where stock is kept and where their�allocated identifiers may be used. To register, contact the Brands Office on 9780 6207 or email [email protected]�Making your mark�The types and where an identity tags is placed varies between different animal species. Animals must have identification�tags before they leave the property of birth or before they reach a specified age.�Stud� animals may be identified with the approved Breed Society mark applied as per that society’s guidelines rather�than with their registered brand or earmark.�
Alpacas and llamas� must be identified by age six months or before leaving the�property of birth, with either an ear tag imprinted with your brand or with your earmark.�Cattle and buffalo� must be branded�or� earmarked before they leave the property�or by six months of age. The brand, if used, must be either a fire- or freeze-brand�on the left rump or shoulder. Buffalo may be fire-branded on their horns. All buffalo�and cattle must have a National Livestock Identification System (NLIS) electronic�device in their right ear before movement from a property. Movement of cattle or�buffalo on to your property must be recorded on the NLIS database.�Sheep� must have ear marks by weaning or the age of six months, or before they�leave the property. They must have an NLIS ear tag imprinted with the owner’s PIC�or registered brand. It is advisable to tag lambs at marking.�For sheep born on the property, use a year of birth colour tag in the opposite ear to�the earmark. For sheep brought on to the property, use a pink tag attached on the�same ear as the earmark before transporting but it is recommended you tag on�arrival.�Goats�must have an NLIS ear tag imprinted with the PIC or owner’s registered�brand by age six months or before they leave the property. Stud dairy goats are�exempt from NLIS identification if already identified with the approved Breed Society�mark.�Movement of sheep or goats on to your property must be recorded on the NLIS�database.�Deer� must be either branded with an ear tag in the designated ear, or be earmarked.�
Horses� should be fire- or freeze-branded on the left shoulder.�If a horse is already branded when purchased, you do not�have to re-brand.�Pigs� over 10 weeks of age must be identified with a pig slap�brand no more than seven days before leaving the property.�The brand is placed on the left shoulder if the owner has bred�the animal or on the right shoulder if the owner is not the�breeder.�Registration and identification of�ostriches� is optional.�However, if owners are registered and wish to identify their�birds, this must be done by using a neck tag or a leg band�embossed with the registered brand or Breed Society mark.�For further NLIS information email�[email protected]�Register for reliability�Identification of livestock assists with returning stray or stolen�stock and in the tracing of animals as they are moved from�one property to another. Should a disease breakout occur, it�is essential that an animal’s movements can be traced�throughout its life.�Registration is valid for three years, with this frequency maintaining the reliability of the register to have current property�owner and stock details.�

Come and check out our clothes and giftware lines� for your special fella�
20% off all Mens Warm Tracky pants�..........and that’s just a start�
Happy Birthday to all the Horses!�Returned Mail�If you have mail to return, we really�appreciate it if you can pass it to us�across the counter and explain what�the reason is. This better ensures that�the mail does not end up back at your�place. If there is a problem and it is�returned just thru the slots, it can be�difficult for us to know what the�problem was. We do understand that�this is an extra burden on your time,�but it should ensure that less time is�wasted overall.�Mail Packaging�Sometimes when you have an item to�post , it can be very confusing to work�out the most appropriate packaging.�The alternatives are many and varied.�Your starting point should be "Am I�posting a document or a parcel". If the�answer is Documents , then you need�to ask is it Domestic mail or�International mail? Each type has a�variety of envelope options ( size,�
weight, pre-paid, registered etc). If�the answer is Parcel, the next�question is the same as for the�documents, ie. Is it domestic or�international and a gain there is a�variety of purpose made packaging.�So when does a 'document' become a�parcel….once it is over 500gms in�weight and more than 20mm thick.�Post office staff are more than happy�to assist you with your selections.�Choosing the wrong packaging and�writing on it can be an expensive�mistake!�Bookings Please - reminder�Just a reminder that for those identity�interviews that the Post Office is�authorized to conduct, we appreciate�it if you can make an appointment�booking. This can be done online, or�customer care will book it for you if�you call 131318. We can also take�bookings across the counter.�
Appointment hours are between�10.am and 3.30pm. Doing this helps�us manage things better for all our�customers. Thanks for your support�with this.�Mail Munchers�It’s a good time to do Winter�maintenance on your letterbox. With�lots of rain about, your mail can get a�bit soggy if water gets in your box.�Mail is also very delicious for snails�about right now, so its good to take�precautions to deter them where�possible! Have you spotted Sharon?�Some of you may have thought you�were seeing things this week when�our previous Postie Sharon took to�the bike again! Sharon says there�were already a few cobwebs she had�to dust off but she is happy to be�helping Robyn out now and again.�Don’t forget to give her a wave!�Happy thoughts to all for�August…..Nearly Spring!�From the Post Office!�

During July/�August we have�been reading Deb-�bie Macomber an�American author�of over 150 con-�
temporary novels and winner of many�literary awards. Macomber writes�mainly for the female audience. Her�books encompass modern lives with�the issues of relationships, romance�and death. For those readers who like�a story with a bit of romance you will�find that the relationships in most�cases lead to marriage and if there is�any sex involved it usually ends at the�bedroom door for the reader. Ma-�comber has written a number of “series�books” which involve people living in�one location and amongst these are�the Cedar Cove books (which we have�been reading), another about a town�called Texas, the Midnight Sons�(which takes place in frozen Alaska),�and another which take place in Blos-�som Street. As Macomber is a fanati-�
cal knitter this latter series takes place�around a Yarn Store in a fictional�street. She has written many other�stand-along novels. Macomber’s�heart-warming novels are always filled�with love and laughter. In the last few�years Hallmark Television have begun�to make the Cedar Cove books into�television films with one of the leads�being played by Andie MacDowell.�Some of our members stated that they�will read Macomber again whilst others�found her a bit light, or that there were�too many characters in her stories and�because of this there is always a list of�characters in the front of the books.�Some members said that the stories�weren’t gutsy whereas another said�that they were too complex. So if you�like a modern day romance try reading�Debbie Macomber, but remember if�you do, try to read them in order so�that you are able to keep the story lines�and characters straight although this in�not strictly necessary. Meanwhile until�next Book Club.- HAPPY READING.�

Waroona Veterinary Clinic News�When will my Pullet lay? By Kellie�De Rosa RVN�Size, breed and maturity affect age of�lay. On average pullets will lay at�about 21-26 weeks of age. Slow�maturing breeds can take up to 32�weeks. It takes a hen 24-26 hours to�form an egg. The amount of eggs laid�varies tremendously between breeds�with other factors such as health,�stress, weather, feed quality and�daylight all playing a role in egg�production.�One important point to remember is�that a Hen that runs out of water for�as little as 4 hours may not lay�another egg for 6 weeks. Water is�extremely important for egg�production.�Can you tell if your hen is laying?�Yes, she will have a red waxy comb�and her feathers maybe a little dull as�she is putting lots of energy into eggs�and not into plumage. If you look at�her vent it should be moist/pink. If she�is not laying, her comb will be pale,�her vent will look dry and her pubic�bones will feel sharp.�What about hens that won’t lay?�Some hens are better producers than�others. Assuming that you've already�
done your research to figure out which�hen best fits your expectations for egg�laying, we can move on to some other�factors.�Diet:�On the diet issue, make sure your�girls are receiving a good complete�feed like a "laying" feed. This usually�comes in either a pellet or crumble.�Despite what a feed store may tell you,�scratch mix or wheat isn't a complete�feed. A complete feed on the other�hand will not only have the sufficient�protein for layers, but also a vitamin/�mineral package. The feed should be�fresh, so that the nutrients haven’t�degraded. Remember these are the�building blocks of eggs. Also to�produce good eggs your hens require�calcium in the form of shell grit.�Lighting:� The success of your laying�"team" also depends on lighting. To�keep up good production, hens depend�on 14 hours a day of light. That's why�so many people find their hens shut�down their laying in the winter; because�of�less daylight hours. You can 'trick'�hens by turning on lights in the coop in�the morning to make up a full 14 hour�daylight day. Most people just wait and�let the girls have a well-earned rest�Environment:�
Sometimes the girls will decide that�conditions aren't right for egg laying�despite your good feed and proper�lighting. Sometimes they feel too�vulnerable while laying and so they�just don't lay. You can help alleviate�their shyness by providing little�"nooks" in which they can lay and also�try encouraging them by putting 'fake'�eggs in their nests.�Remember, your girls do not lay�during times of stress like when they�molt (from around April- July�depending on breed, weather & age)�or illness.�
For those of you who don’t know�Waroona Veterinary Clinic has a�veterinary nurse who specialises in�Poultry. Nurse consults with Kellie for�your poultry can be made by calling�the clinic on 97331356. Kellie also�offers a FREE 12 page booklet she�has written herself with lots of�information on caring, feeding and�diseases seen in poultry; this can be�picked up for free at the Clinic.�This is the third in a series of articles�on chicken care by Nurse Kellie; look�out for more in upcoming issues.�

Waroona Demons News - by Forward Pocket�Waroona Colts�have greatly�improved from the�start of the season�and have�performed well�under the guidance�of Coach Rhys�Newman and�Club�
Legend Glen Wilson. They are likely�to finish in sixth spot just behind�South Mandurah in fifth spot.�Last�Sunday they outscored Souths by two�goals in the last term on the slippery�Falcon Oval.�Josh Commisso has had�an outstanding season and played in�all three grades in many different�positions.�He was also a member of�the Peel Combined U 18 Team and�an all-star in the great Southern�Carnival. Josh was also a member of�the State U 18�Country team as well.�Damien Young has also displayed his�talent by playing in the Ruck and as�an attacking half back.�Jayden Caratti�and Rowan Gardiner have also shown�their class when released from the�Peel Thunder Colts team in the WAFL�Competition.�Mitchell Morley as an U�20 has supported his younger�teammates and Jake Wilson as a�running wingman has improved every�game and also named in the Peel�Combined Team for the great�Southern Carnival.�The Bury Brothers�Robert and Ben earn the hard ball�despite their size and Joshua�Falkstrom is third in the Colts leading�Goal kicker Award with 28 goals.�Kohen Hart-Cole displayed his�versatility by competing in the Ruck�and Key Position.�This is a very young�team that will continue to improve and�provide Waroona Football Club with�great playing stocks in years to come.�Waroona Reserves lost only their�second game for the season against�South Mandurah by nine points last�Sunday.�They still lead the�Premiership ladder by percentage�from their nemesis South Mandurah�and are in a great position to defend�their first title in 42 years with their�success last season.�Playing Coach Rocky Caruso who�played his 251�st� club game on the�weekend is in the best form of his�career and has not missed a beat�since taking over as Coach in round�five.�His assistants Juddy Giumelli�,Vince Vitale together with vice�Captain Lindsay Gilbert who has�experienced the misfortune of serious�arm injuries have also played their�roles�Key Defenders Luke Hamson�
and Ben Howell are underrated and�supported by the best back pocket in�the league Adam Simpson.�Mathew�Mortimer and Jackson Hiscock give the�midfield real grunt and Alfred Angi is a�goal kicking forward pocket specialist.�Steve “Sav” Srhoj Goalsneak is second�on the Reserves Goalkicking�Tallyboard with 28 goals and brings�other forwards into the game with his�unselfish football.�Daniel Johnson can�play Ruck or a roving Centre Half�Forward and has been a great mid�season addition.�Rhys Newman and�Michael Vellacott lack nothing in skills�and Grant Coxon once he learns to�keep his feet will become an even more�allrounded player adding to his�smothering ability.�Zac Indich is an�improving defender and Utility player�Kurt Brown gives the team options.�A�Key to their finals success whether first�ruck Ayden Crook is on song and team�discipline is maintained at all times.�The team will be further strengthened�when talented Colts players Josh�Commisso and Damien Young become�available in the finals.�Waroona League Squad is in a great�position to win their fifth consecutive�League Premiership title and appear to�have more depth than last year.�They�have only lost two games for the�season and which included the “Fevola�Showtime”in Round 8.�The Ruck is well�covered with Steele Court and Mat�Thomas as the “Springing Jack”�backed up by Matt Atcheson and�Cameron Sommerville when they�become available.�Adam Clancy is�enjoying his best season for a couple�of years and with 43 goals is sitting�third on the League Goal Kicking�Tallyboard and blended well with Alan�“Foxy” Wilson.�Rover Eli Smith is in�scintillating form in his second League�season and displayed that form at a�higher level. Joel Catalano is back to�his form of a couple of years ago and�Utility Courtney Lakay�Skills will be�evident in the Fairest and Best Count.�Liam Thomas has settled down in the�backline and has allowed Rhys�Bloxsidge freedom to move further up�the ground.�Dusty Roberts has covered�the loss of Ben “Chief” Mathews Herald�on a wing and Jayden Derosa is�improving every game and especially�his leg speed.�Chad Peters, Ryan�McKinley and Tommy Carroll are all�tough hard players and when available�together form the best half back line in�the League.�Former Coach and AFL�Player Craig Callaghan and Captain�Benny Wright when they come off the�
injured list will be the trump cards.�Aaron Payrits can play either back or�forward and is running into form after�a short pre-season.�Clay Smith can�play in the Ruck, Key Positions and�showed his talent by holding Rod�Tregenza to only five goals when�covering for regular Full Back Ryan�Court last Sunday. The South�Mandurah and Goalsneak Rocket�Tregenza has kicked 95 goals this�season. Having Ryan Court available�who is tough and dour gives coach�Dean Taylor more options.�Rhett�Mason has returned from Peel�Thunder League Squad and this�talented utility player loves running,�kicking goals and rebounding from�defence, nothing like returning to your�home town and playing with your�mates.�League Coach Dean Taylor�still gives the midfield grunt and has a�great vocal assistant John Mason�running the bench which cannot be�undervalued.�Quinn Smith with a�serious knee injury is a loss the team�will have to cover as the rebounding�half back flanker was in great form�prior to his injury.�The documentary�on Win TVV earlier this year was a�great story.The teams ability to both�apply and defend under pressure is�another fine example of why the team�has done say well.�After Round 15 the�League Squad is in another strong�position to defend their title and break�another record.�They need to stay�mentally strong, disciplined and will to�win. Pinjarra Tigers have gone on a�recruiting drive andRockingham�Rams are desperate to beat Waroona�so it will be the toughest test in the�past five years.�
Scroungers game due to bad�weather. If you are interested in�playing Scroungers just come along to�the Club by 2.15pm and nominate.�We are usually on the green by�2.30pm and stay for a few drinks after�the game. Don’t worry if you haven’t�played much before, they are all a�great group of guys and a few old�chooks, all easy to get along with,�very social, very enjoyable, come�along and join us.�Saturday afternoon Meat pack Triples�is well under way. We like teams to�be nominated by Friday night. We�have had between 6 and 8 teams�each week. We play two games and�the winning team wins the meat�packs. We also have a meat raffle�with a first and second prize. We�normally have a few nibbles and�socialize after the games. If you dont�have a team, let the club know by�Friday night that you are interested,�as we often have teams looking for�spare players.�We often have people enquiring about�playing bowls, usually someone�wanting to learn. This year we intend�making more effort to teach beginners�how to play. Starting soon we will be�giving lessons to anyone who is�interested. We have plenty of bowls�available at the Club, a size to suit�any hand. The time for the lessons is�yet to be negotiated, but will be�starting soon. If you are interested at�all, please contact one of the following�
The Club Opening Day for the new�season will be on Sunday, Sept.1st.�This will be round two of ‘The War of�the Roses”. That means we need all�players in attendance. If you have�other plans, cancel them. We dont�want the Ladies to have an excuse�when they get beaten again, that�several of their good players were�missing. We also don’t want the men�to get beaten by NOT being able to�field their best team. So write that in�your diary and make sure you come�and have a practice before hand. We�are not playing for a sheep station,�just man pride.�
