No one could’ve guessed that just five days later, Lachlan would be flown to Sydney’s Westmead Hospital with severe respiratory failure. Lochie’s loving and diligent parents, Luke and Kerry remained by his side every step of the way, but despite this and the Grace Ward medical staff’s best efforts, Lochie passed away at just thirteen weeks old. This prompted a desire within Luke and Kerry to not only keep Lochie’s spirit burning, but give a better chance to other parents who may find themselves in a similar situation. ‘Fundraising by Team Lochie’ is a non-for-profit charity that aims to raise at least $10,000 to go towards new machinery for the Grace Ward at Sydney’s Westmead Hospital and a plaque in memory of Lochie to be placed within the ward. One of their ventures is an upcoming auction and trivia night to be held on the 6th of September at Club Singleton which should prove to be a popular and fun evening! The trivia section of the evening will be hosted by DJ Ray McCoy who is the host of Drive from 4pm-7pm on Tamworth Radio 88.9fm. The questions are generalised which means everybody has a chance of winning the 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes towards the end. The Team Lochie auction will commence soon after on the same evening. The prizes for the auction include Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen signed-framed pictures; a Nicolas Cage ‘Gone in 60 Seconds’ framed picture; Matt Shirvington-signed and framed athletic suit; a fully-signed Australian cricket bat; a fully-signed NSW Speed Blitz Blues cricket jersey; 2014-signed Penrith Panthers/Brisbane Broncos/Parramatta Eels/ Newcastle Knights Jerseys; a 2014-signed Newcastle Jets Jersey; Champion Surfer Sally Fitzgibbon signed-Roxy rashy; Jimmy Barnes and Cold Chisel-signed memorabilia and much much more! It’ll be a full night of fun and frivolity, with the more serious undertone of helping families in medical need. Doors open at 6pm, with first question at 7pm. Tickets are $30 per person or for larger groups there are tables of ten available with possibility of finger food.

The perfect solution is located within the family-friendly walls of the Scone Golf Club. The recent change of bistro management has proven to be very successful with a flood of positive feedback being received since Wayne and Linda Mogdon took the helm. The Mogdon’s motto is to “keep the dining experience for families at an affordable price.” This they have certainly achieved! It’s been three weeks since their successful ‘10 main meals for $10 each’ specials menu was introduced, providing patrons with a variety of choices to fill their bellies for only $10 a dish! The value doesn’t stop there, with children under twelve able to eat free-of-charge on Monday and Tuesday nights (conditions apply); a brand new A La Carte menu and future prospects of ‘entertainment while you eat’ on a weekly basis! With plenty of seating, plus an al fresco dining and children’s area along with fantastic personable service - it’s no wonder the Mogdon’s are off to a good start. With a lucrative and well-travelled career that spans 40 years in hospitality that’s taken Wayne and Linda all over the country, one can certainly believe that they know how to treat the customer to a good well-rounded-dining Scone Golf Club Bistro experience. When asked what they enjoyed most about what they do, Wayne replied, “Being able to interact with the patrons and their children NOW OPEN 7 DAYS gives Linda and I the greatest satisfaction, as it seems that we are part of everyone’s family.” With a warm attitude such as this, who could blame any Dinner: Monday - Saturday from 3pm diner for wanting to return for a second helping?
