The following night was also a com­ petition night, this time against neighbor­ ing inland town of Palmwoods. The Palm- woods team numbered 12 and looked rural. Most had short hair and their ages ranged from teenage to middle aged. (Maroochydore players were in their 20s.) A blatant hierarchy existed: more experienced players told younger players what shots to play, and moral support was given to poorer players involving much back slapping. I felt that they had carefully worked out manoeuvres before the game. In short, Palmwoods played as a team, in stark contrast to the Maroochydore players. Although there was a structure in the group (the presi­ dent had numerous organisational duties to perform), the Maroochydore players managed to retain a loose individualism: it was impressive.

Cat Stevens w ill be out fo r Dainty early in june — the best news of that tour being that Linda Lewis, the West Indian vocalist, w ill be along as the support act. Apparently she could make it all worthwhile. The Dainty Corporation are concerned about their Adelaide venue. In a remarkably short sighted move the Apollo has banned rock con­ certs, because o f the behavior o f T Rex's fans, so Dainty is arguing that Stevens isnt rock. I th in k I agree w ith him. Dainty definitely has Van Morrison for later this year but isnt saying much about the Stones, who are rumored to be due in September. Also rumored but not confirmed are Yes. Melanie may be out before too long for the Uni Arts Festi­ val in may, but no confirmation on that either. One rumor which can be fa irly firm ly knocked on the head to date is Pink Floyd: they care a little too much about their music and image to put up with the poor sound and lighting facilities available to them out here. So for all of you who froze at Festival hall in '72 for Floyd, it looks like this just isnt your year. Robert Raymond, who after the B.B.
