Top Dogs! That long awaited day in September finally arrived
last weekend and WOW, what a
weekend it was.........the only thing that could have been
better would have been the
weather but I’m guessing no one really cares about that now! The
U/18’s started our
day off with a repeat of last years Grand Final. The howling
wind made conditions
difficult and scoring nearly impossible, we really struggled to
hit targets and the game
hung in the balance to the very end. Fortunately when the final
siren sounded we were 3
points up and more than happy to accept the winning trophy in
the driving rain! The
Reserves game was also a very tight knit affair. Two early
injuries to a couple of
important players sent shock waves through the camp but to the
teams credit they never
put their heads down and went on to take the win by 9 points,
ending Bridgewater’s
quest to win 4 in a row!

At Pyramid Hill
Respect Aged Care we
encourage the commu-
nity to come in and
help us raise money to
buy a bale for the
drought affected
farmers.
Throughout the month
of September we will be raising money for farmers.
Each Friday we will be dressing up as farmers for a
gold coin donation.
It would be great to see some of the community
dress up as a farmer & come in to help us help
farmers!
Happy Anniversary
It was ninety-one when we met and ninety-three when we wed
Lots of water under the bridge now with not many moments we’ve
dread.
Some moments in hospitals, some with joy and few with pain
Both sharing the times, with support from each other through joy
and the strain.
It’s twenty-five years we’re celebrating, so there’s more than a
line for each year
No need to cringe or to worry as you’ve really nothing to
fear.
The stories and memories are all positive and filled with
fun
The other ones you’ll not read here, ‘cause really there’s
none,
What you see is what you get as you still love a laugh and share
a good joke
But further afield do you search for material as you’re now a
‘technological’ bloke.
The Weekly Times and the Joke book are no longer the prevalent
source
As ‘Bookface’ is what you open each morning as your routinely
daily course.
Twenty-five years has certainly flown and our future continues
to look fine
You make allowances now with indigestion tablets for where we
may dine.
You take more gambles with jobs and with the odd taste of
food
Garlic, onion, spicy and smelly are all cuisines which continue
to alter your mood.
Your attire really has not altered much, particularly in the
heat of the sun
Give you shorts, the singlet, the thongs and the high temps for
your idea of fun.
You tell it how it is – it’s black or it’s white, it’s straight
down the line
No need to worry or stress, as always with you, it will work out
just fine.
Home is still where the heart is, in your own surrounds with
your things close by
Clear heat, the higher the temperature the better, overhead a
clear blue sky.
Still a big kid at heart with tidiness and organisation not one
of your skills
Whilst Holden, V8’s and good clean fun provide some of your
thrills.
Happy anniversary to us as we move on to the next phase
More memories to make and share in a variety of ways.
‘To the moon and back’ is an old line that will not be the
measure to use
As it’s time not distance that is the measurement as we continue
to cruise.
It’s the stories, the history and the fun that we have and
continue to share
That are the true measure of our love, our friendship and how
much we care.
Neither is perfect, we’ve got a few faults and yes, the odd
flaw
The journey continues with love and each other, and of that I’m
sure.
Happy anniversary!

Social Justice Immersion Experience
Sarah Vevers from St. Patrick's Primary School, Pyramid Hill
will be travelling to
Cebu, Philippines with 14 other teachers & 2 leading staff
from the Sandhurst Diocese
as part of a Social Justice Immersion Experience. Participants
depart on Wednesday
the 19th of September & return to Australia in the middle
weekend of the school
holidays.
Before the teachers depart on their trip, they commit to
fundraising which will support
the families & children in Cebu that are in need.
On Tuesday the 4th of September, St. Patrick's Primary School
hosted a Cebu fundrais-
ing night at the Memorial Hall, which included Ventriloquist
entertainment, Learners
Art exhibition, a silent auction, raffle & a two course meal
of Filipino style cuisine.
Local businesses generously donated goods & services raising
a total of $1426.00. This
incredible amount will certainly make a difference in the lives
of so many. Thank you.
I will be very proud to deliver these funds in person.
In Cebu, the group will meet families & children, spend time
with children of different
schools, participate in activities that will expose them to the
living conditions &
educational facilities that are available, as well as visit the
local market & orphanage.
The money that has been raised will be either donated or used to
buy supplies for those
in need.
Thank you to all that have supported or donated towards the
cause. Your generosity is
certainly appreciated.
Thank you.

Sylvaterre Spring The wind it is blowing, Cypress Pines
to-and-
froing, raised dust with each passing car. The
grass for a moment is green the sheep almost
clean and Canola glows yellow from afar
The wrens have started nesting, fly's and
mozzies started pesting and the wagtails are
whistling their claims. Native plants are in
flower I could search for an hour, but still
couldn't speak all their names
As the sun sets south of 'the hill' Honey-eaters
and Parrots drink their fill and the swallows rest
their delta shaped wings. And then just after
dark only 2ks from the park rabbits, cats and
foxes come to destroy all these things.

Pyramid Four Courts Tennis Working bee, Friday Sept 28th
from
5pm. Shovels, rakes cleaning equipment
Wanted Town Building
Blocks With Water & Power Available
Michael Jordon is currently building two houses in
Pyramid Hill & is interested in obtaining more
housing blocks to build on.
Michael is planning to hold a housing seminar in
A Step Back In Time
With The Historical Society
May 11 1928
Motor Gymkhana.
The motor gymkhana held in the recreation reserve to augment the
Church of
England building fund proved a novelty event in the district and
attracted a
large attendance. Motordom was present in all its varieties from
sad-eyed
belles of other days to flippant, high-kicking jazz babies of
the modern day
and sedate streamlined chaperones with a deeper purr of
slumbering power.
The procession was well made up and created a good deal of
interest and
provided plenty of scope for car decorators.
Mr R Stone's "White Swan" was a finely got up piece of work and
annexed
the first prize. All those who participated in the procession
took great pains
to make their decorations attractive and they all achieved a
splendid result.
Those who took part were, Mr H Manley, "Venetian Gondola, Mr W
Town-
send, "Battleship", Mr B Thomas represented Hawaii and with a
number of
schoolgirls easily captured the prize offering for a car load of
pretty girls, by
polling 361 votes to 78, 77 and 57 each by the other three
competitors. Mr T
Moore, "The Rapid" speedster. Rev. Clinch, Messrs F Bramley and
G
Manley went in for floral decorations.
Three entrants for the honour of possessing the "most
dilapidated car"
provided amusing speculation and Mr C Vallance took first in a
gallant relic
of the early Elizabethan period while close behind was Mr F
Perkins with a
1914 replica of Henry VIII's days and last but not least—in
noise— came Mr
D Bartels in a "Dodge'' which seemed to feature a hit and miss
ignition and a
firing system from 1 up to 4 and back again. The events put
through drew big
entries and entertained in a novel way. The musical chair
provided the most
excitement. The affair was conducted by a large number of
stewards secretar-
ied by Mr S Lewis. The ladies provided afternoon tea on the
ground and both
that and a sweets stall were well patronised.
The success of this initial effort should act as a stimulus to
similar gatherings
in the future. The results were. Bending race, Mr A Smith.
Potato race Mr A
Smith. Musical chairs, Miss G Chant. Motor cycle race, Mr R
Hodges.
WHY DO WE HAVE TO GO OUT SO FAR IN BARVER ST TO SEE
WHAT IS COMING.
SOG Notes
Railway Dept. wrote that the crossing in Pyramid Hill would be
widened 20ft
on the north side if the council paid the estimated cost of £32,
or more or less
as might be the case. The commissioners could not agree to the
council's
proposal to pay half. As the presence of the “cop” on the
western side of the
crossing made an awkward turn for motorist, which in turn
endangered
pedestrians. It was decided to remove it and apply to the dept.
for a pedestri-
an crossing.
November 30 1928
Railway Dept. wrote that it considered that the traffic button
(Cop) on the
west side of the railway crossing at Pyramid Hill created the
danger to
pedestrians crossing the line. The crossing would be widened if
the council
paid the cost. After another discussion upon the cops and the
crossing it was
resolved to remove the one on the west side and ask the police
to enforce
observance of that on the east.
Seniors Notes Members played Card Bingo there were 8 players
President June was the caller. The best players
were Bernie with 8 wins & Bill with 7, everyone
won at least one game.
On Friday our AGM was held after a yummy
luncheon. Trevor Walters was elected as our new
President.
Some members will be heading over to Kerang this
Friday to play Card Bingo.
Good Health To All, ‘Till Next Time.
A Note From Joan
Well I have made it back from THE FORUM in Yandina after
spending a pleasant week with my
sister, walking the dogs on Coolum beach, and
along the extensive length of sporting grounds and
facilities in Yandina, and also did the tourist trip
round the Buderim Ginger Factory (which is in
Yandina, oddly enough). I didn’t take a ride on
the steam train, so will have to go back again!
When you walk with
a “wobbly boot”, as I
do you don’t seem to
have a spare hand to
snap photos when
you see possibilities,
so most of the photos
were left right there
and hopefully stay in
my mind. Cheers J.

Pyramid Hill Lawn Bowling Club News
60 & Over
The guys were back on the greens & relishing the beautiful
sunshine last Thursday as they
made their way to Barham Sports with a complete set of four
bowlers. Bill, Graham M., &
Allan were joined by Ray to combine as an “awesome foursome.”
They were certainly
pleased to be a foursome & are determined to work on their
awesome. Once again they
found the greens to be pretty slippery and it took a while for
them to acclimatize to the
pace. They managed to win one game out of their three, which is
better than none out of
three & again they experimented with different Skips at the
helm. After a lapse of just
three days, the informant couldn’t quite recall who all had a
turn of being Skip or who the
successful Skip was which makes it a bit difficult for the
reporter to pad out a good story if
the guys who played can’t actually remember what happened! So in
place of a chicken
joke this week there is just a bit of kindly advice: take a note
pad & write down anything
reportable…please!!!
Bowls Practice
All players are reminded that practice takes place on a Tuesday
night each week starting
at 4:30pm. The Pennant Season commences on Wednesday October the
3rd for Mid-week
bowlers & Saturday the 6th of October for the weekend
brigade. Please make an effort to
get in some solid practice.
Come and Try Day
A get-together of players & friends is planned for Saturday
the
22nd of September. All members are invited to bring along a
friend & together we can enjoy having a few rolls in the
form of
a friendly match. Starting time is 12:30pm Casual dress. A
Sausage Sizzle bbq will follow. An early finish is planned
to
enable AFL fans the opportunity to catch most of the finals
match. Everyone welcome.
Subs
A reminder that subs are now due. Please try & catch up with
Lionel in the next few weeks
with your subscription money.
Working Bee
There are quite a few jobs that need to be attended to prior
to the start of Pennant in order to get our venue looking
spick & span. The proposed Working Bee is to be held on
Saturday the 29th of September with an 8:30am start. With
the willingness of a large group of people we can get the
jobs knocked over in time for everyone to get back home
for the AFL Grand Final. Please be prepared to spare an hour or
two to help out.
Northern District Bowls Division Booklets
The Little Blue Book which outlines Pennant Dates, Division
Events & rules are now
available from the Club House for Members.
Congratulations Here, There & Everywhere
The PHBC sends hearty congratulations to the Under 18s & the
Seconds footy teams for
their Premiership successes. Both teams survived the challenges
by their strong opponents
& the elements. It was certainly not ideal weather
conditions but the squalls of wind
certainly blew in our favour at times.
Mighty congratulations are also extended to Kate Bartels &
Grant Mooney for their
amazing golf awards. Both Kate & Grant were winners of the
Northern District Champion-
ships and then went on to become Champion of Champions. Will we
see them on the PGA
Tours??
The Northern District Bowls Division can proudly boast two
players who were members
of the National Bowlers Arm Side Championships played at
Maitland over four days. Ron
Eckhart & Rod (Bluey) Fletcher are National Champions –
bring on the Olympics!
What a conglomerate of Champions in our area! Well done,
all!!
