Surprise award for JM, SSS postponed, Volunteer for Loo Paper?

By now all past volunteer members and friends for Bunnings BBQ will have received their allocation of loo paper from the Surf Show and Shine surplus quantity.

 

Every volunteer received a "six pack" for every shift that they volunteered for in the past. We were able to do this because your club bought loo paper for the mobile toilets in anticipation for the 4,000 visitors to Surf Show and Shine.

 

Even more good news, we still have a large quantity available !

 

So if you find yourself in need, just write to the secretary volunteering to do "X" number of shifts (sic) at Bunnings and we'll get the essentials to you. Be sure to mark your request "Bunnings Scheme" or BS.

This is the look that you have when your club members arrange to surprise you with. Paul Harris fellowship. Modesty forbids this scribe for adding more to the words for everyone, other than a sincere thank you, and I'm very honoured. 

 

 

Also a big thank you to Prue, Linda, Gary, Denys, Bob and Duncan for attending the surprise award, it was great to see them and was much appreciated by everyone. 

We were delighted to help the women at the Alex SLSC with their recent celebrations of 40 years of Women in Surf. As well as donating the club trailer John was able to put Jackie and her team in touch with a few community minded people who helped out with the promotion of the event and the swim. We understand that the fantastic promo panels made by Paul Morton at Push Productions are now going to be. on permanent display in the new clubhouse.

We really need to get this Kombi to our next Surf Show and Shine !!

 

Steve thought he had dodged a bullet when he managed to get into NZ just before the government insisted all visitors self isolated for 14 days. Visions of 14 days in a motel in NZ before starting his tour were not good. However, things got even more interesting when a day later Australia insisted that all returning residents spent 14 days in self isolation on their return from overseas. What to do? 

 

Pleased to say that Steve had a short tour of the North Island before returning to Queensland where he is enjoying (?) self isolation in Beerwah. North Island was great, but Beerwah has never looked to attractive I'm told. 

 

John had a similar escape on his trip to Tasmania, where he observed cruise ship passengers deserting their cruise ships to get back to the safety of their home countries.

 

Late news: Steve is going well, and in a few days he'll be able to wander through the sights of Beerwah!

The club relinquished the ROMAC trivia quiz trophy, held for the past 2 years as winners of the prestigious ROMAC Trivia quiz, to give the other clubs a chance. You'll be pleased to know that nevertheless we have made a $500 contribution to this fantastic cause. Well done Bryan and the team. 

 

I'm told that Caboolture were this years winners. Well done Bryan Mason for the fantastic work he does in raising funds for the medical help of islanders through this great event and cause. Apparently no one has noticed the "modifications" to the trophy. Yet. 

 

No more club meetings till further notice, but we will be having Video Conferencing, which may come as quite a shock to some, but what doesn't kill us makes us stronger (Lisa Simpson).
