Here, at the Community House, the weeks and months just fly by keeping up with all of our activities and events. As our population has increased, we have welcomed many new members to our Community House this year who have joined one or several of our regular activities. As one of the largest member based organisations in Loch Sport we would like to thank all of our members, group facilitators and volunteers for all the help it takes to run our organisation. A very successful community day was held in the Public Hall last month showcasing to members of the public many of the groups and committee’s that exist in our town. Quite a few new-comers to the town were surprised to learn how much happens in Loch Sport. Some organisations acquired new members from this open day and others enlisted as committee members for their chosen interest. As most of you know, our Melbourne Cup community market changed its venue to the LakeView Bar & Bistro as a trial, allowing us to invite more stall holders and have more space. The morning was an overwhelming success, with stall holders reporting record sales and the general public loved the free-flowing, relaxed atmosphere with plenty of room to move around and socialise. We were absolutely blessed with a break in the weather. A big thank you again to all of the volunteers that worked together to make the market come together. We look forward to holding our March Labour Day market there also. Our annual Gippsport Walktober Challenge took place in November. Gippsport ask the regions Community Houses to encourage our members to take part in recording our walking steps for two weeks. We are proud to say that we have just been announced the winners for the second year in a row. This year we accumulated 4,062,147 steps. In early November, we hosted the boat licence course for Loch Sport Fishing Association and successfully hooked fourteen new captains.
