Talking trades with your friendly local sparky

BRAD Jobe from Jobe Electrical has been an electrician for 14 years and moved to Beerwah in 2015 after growing up in Sydney.

Brad relocated to the Sunshine Coast hinterland with his wife Louise and two kids to enjoy the great weather, lifestyle and friendly people. Brad joined the army after school and spent 8 years in Artillery and did two peace-keeping trips to East Timor.

After leaving the army, Brad completed a mature-aged electrical apprenticeship and started his own business.

As a sole trader, Brad is the one who answers the phone and turns up to do the work. Brad prides himself on turning up on time and cleaning up at the end.

He loves doings small jobs like installing powerpoints, light fittings and smoke alarms, but can also do switchboard upgrades, light and power circuits, data and

TV antenna wiring, some aircon installations and general electrical work for renovation projects.

Brad gets good job satisfaction from helping his customers especially when faultfinding and fixing problems.

When he’s not working, Brad coaches his son’s under 7s rugby league team at Beerwah Bulldogs and plays in the AFL masters comp for the Suncoast Brewers.

Brad loves watching sport and supports the Cronulla Sharks and NSW Blues. Check out Brad in the GC&M News’ Pip the Pollies footy tipping comp (he’s at the top of the ladder!). Brad also enjoys dirt-bike riding, four-wheel driving, mountain climbing, and spending time with his family on their hobby farm with horses and cattle. If you’re looking for a friendly local electrician, give Brad from Jobe Electrical a call.

Range Croquet

Contributed by Ken Barker finish the season. Score was 48-18 games, 8-0 sets. Team was Paula Cudmore, Cindy Harris, Aki Lepper and Maree Hooley. We are in the Semi-Final next week, go team!

A KEEN group of players, consisting of Helen Uhlmann, Stuart Craig, Lynette Evans, Sally Adams, Helen Andrews, and Dianne Horseman, gathered on the lawn to play social ricochet on Tuesday morning, a good sign for this activity. No scores were recorded as many players are still getting their head around the rule differences with association and the tactics. Ricochet croquet was originally developed as a training exercise for association croquet, but it now has quite a following and several competitions feature it. The attached photo shows Helen looking to Stuart and Dianne for advice or support after an approach shot hasn’t landed where it should.

On Wednesday we played Caloundra in the Lochwood pennants competition. Sarah Widin, Nick Cram and Ken Barker played for the Range while Ted Singleton and Murray Tinker came up the hill. We had an excellent result winning both singles and the doubles. Ken beat Ted 21 – 7 in a game where Ted had difficulty getting started. Sarah played an exciting game against Murray to beat him by one hoop 18 – 17. The game of the day however was the doubles where Nick and Sarah with time upon them, escaped from jail when Nick made an eight-hoop break to peg out his ball and finish two ahead. Well done those cool heads.

Pennant Team in the 2023 Sunshine Coast District Competition with fixtures stating on Saturday 19 August 2023 and concluding with finals being played on 24 September 2023. We will be competing against teams from Palmwoods, Woombye and Pelican Waters. The club was successful in obtaining an RACQ Foundation Grant that allowed clearing of drainage pipes and treatment of bacteria on the bowls green surface following the inundation that occurred in early 2022. These works were carried out following the repairs to the bowls green surface and surrounds in June 2022.

Our Junior Academy is being launched on Saturday 17 June 2023 from 1:30pm to 3:30pm with free introduction to lawn bowls for ages 5 to 18.

“I missed out by one position to make the finals and it was from a visitor too so if they hadn’t have come from overseas I would have made it… but it was a good experience,” she said.
