Holbrook Happenings HOLBROOK HAPPENINGS Issue 369 28 August 2019 ‘DON’T DROP THE BALL ON HEALTH’ COMMUNITY GET-TOGETHER SUNDAY 18 TH AUGUST On Sunday 18 th August at exactly 2pm, a crazy idea conceived over several cups of coffee came to fruion. 600 tennis balls were tossed from a helicopter onto a football field, a community was brought together to raise awareness of not dropping the ball on health and in the process, over $60,000 was raised for charity. In excess of 500 people aended the community get- together held at The Holbrook Sporng Complex. There were delicious roast rolls from locally grown and butchered lamb and beef, fairy floss, giant games, lolly jar guessing, netball shoong and football kicking compeons. The Fight MND Holbrook Big Freeze was certainly a spectacle, with liquid nitrogen adding to the theatrics of those heading down the slide into 1°C water, containing 400kgs of ice. Then the much ancipated helicopter came in from the South West, did a couple of donuts around the oval and dropped every last ball before doing another lap or two and heading off into the distance, leaving the judges to discover the winners. A er which the aucon kicked off and it did not disappoint, with so many generously donated quality aucon items and keen bidders in the spirit of benefing a worthy cause (or four). The organising commiee have been overwhelmed by the generosity and support received by the Holbrook and District Community and by the amount of money raised for their chosen charies Research4Riney, Albury Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre Trust Fund, Bowel Cancer Australia and FightMND. There are so many people that made this day amazing and it would be impossible to name them all without missing someone. The Holbrook and District community should be extremely proud and give themselves a pat on the back for making this day such a success! From those who donated goods and services, to those who purchased balls and those bidding on aucon items, to those who just turned up on the day and were a part of this stunning community get-together. Ball Drop Prize Winners: First Prize, closest to the pin went to Kate Heijse, 2 nd to Ma Ralph and 3 rd to James Capell. Consolaon prizes going to Tom Davies, Simone Russell, Cathy Jones, Charlie Papworth, Joanne Siedle, Cath Mann, Richard Locke, Richard Jenkyn, Antonia Grunow & Joan Parker.

Children’s Book Week As all parents sigh with relief ll next year’s scramble for Book Week costumes, Library staff are reflecng on a happily busy week. We had a school visit or story me every day last week and we hope that all the children who came to visit enjoyed their experience. Not one of the book week tles, but one of the favourites this week, was The Koala Who Could! This is a story about a lile koala who was too scared to come down out of his tree but when forced to the ground is met with such love that he is no longer scared. The children learnt some new facts about koalas’ secret powers and made a very cute koala hand puppet. The library was also buzzing on Thursday morning with 44 parents, carers and children for a special Book Week story me. Dom read The Sloth Who Came to Stay and showed children the special bird with secret powers and a big shell where children could hear the sound of the sea. The children made a secret power mask.

My experience with target shoong dates back to 1986, when I won my first Australian Title. From there I went on to be part of the 1990 Commonwealth Games team. Having competed in 7 Commonwealth and 2 Olympic Games, I am sll shoong compevely 35 years later. Target shoong requires concentraon and a steady hand. People of all ages from 12 years to 112 years old can enjoy the sport. There are categories of Paralympic Indoor Shoong for wheelchair shooters and those with a disability. Able bodied shooters compete alongside Paralympic shooters – the aim being that ALL of us are included in the sport. Men and women shoot the same matches, and shooters are graded into secons according to ability – a handicap system, similar to a golf handicap can be applied, to level the playing field. Shoong has taken me around the world, from the World Top: Bruce, Gold Medallist, in 1990 Championships in Moscow, the Commonwealth Games at Auckland Olympic Games in Athens, Le : Victoria Rossiter 16 Yr Aus Air compeng in Cuba, Delhi, Rifle Shooter. The youngest shooter Manchester – all very excing at the 2018 Commonwealth Games compeons. I am looking forward to establishing an Indoor Air Range in Holbrook, so that I may pass on my experience to local shooters, and hopefully see some of them aspire to internaonal success. I am currently training towards the 2019 Oceania Shoong Championships, to be held in Sydney in November. These championships will decide on Olympic quota places for the Tokyo Olympic Games next year.

  • For the Glory of Sport
    For The Glory Of Sport The story of the Commonwealth Games from 1930 to 2014 By Bob Phillips Author€s Note The Commonwealth Games have always been particularly close to my heart in a lifetime of a passionate interest in sport. I saw them for the first time as a teenage fan in Cardiff in 1958 € when they were still known as the British Empire and Commonwealth Games € and was captivated then by the marvellous deeds of the athletes on a cinder track fitted tightly round the hallowed turf of the celebrated Arms Park rugby-football ground. Lithe and lightning-fast sprinters from the Caribbean islands, rugged middle-distance and long-distance runners from Australia and New Zealand, a gloriously fluent quarter-miler from India, jumpers and throwers from what then seemed such exotic far-flung corners of the globe as Fiji, North Borneo and Singapore € it was all intensely exciting and laid the foundations for what would be for me many more such delightful adventures to come as a professional journalist and broadcaster. Even so, there were only 35 countries competing at those Games of more than half-a-century ago. In Glasgow this year there will be twice that number. The Games have grown out of all recognition, but in the process of so doing they have managed to maintain an intimacy € even a coziness, if you like € which so many of the other forms of international sport have long since shunned in the relentless interests of commercialism. This is a favoured theme of mine which you will find recurring throughout this history of the Commonwealth Games € call me old-fashioned, if you wish, but there are inherent qualities of fair play, of sportsmanship, of comradely competition among members of a vastly extended but affectionate family, which have survived over more than 80 years at these Games, though not entirely unscathed, and they are not widely in evidence elsewhere these days.
