Whether you love a good dance but can’t deal with the nightclub vibe, need to hit the dance oor to work off the week’s stresses, or are looking for some regular fun exercise to work up a sweat.. We have got you! This nigh is run each Wednesday between 6.30p.m. and 7.30p.m. at the Maleny Community Centre. These vents are drug and alcohol free. The next event on December 6th is a Back To The 90's End Of Year Bash!! This is your time to switch off, drop in and let your body tell you how it wants to move. We nd that grown-up dancers gain the most bene ts when they leave distractions at the door and make space for themselves, which is why the dance oor is a talk/ mobile-free zone. Saying that, we absolutely encourage clapping, cheering, sing alongs and even screaming if you need to get it out! The aim in lighting is for the sweet spot between light enough so you can see the silhouettes of other dancers, but dark enough so that you can’t make out their features – this allows for a judgement free space while keeping it safe. This dance is most suited to ages 14+ OUR LOW-LIGHT DANCE SPACE ENCOURAGES FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION. ALL SONGS PLAYED ARE TICKET HOLDER REQUESTS – EVERY PLAYLIST IS COMMUNITYLED AND TAILORED TO EACH SESSION*. Song requests may be submitted via online ticket bookings only. Requests must be submitted via online booking at least 24 hours before your dance start time.

Maleny Dark Sky Reserve Proposal
The River Murray International Dark Sky Reserve was Australia's rst Dark Sky Reserve, having received accreditation in 2019 and one of only 15 in the world. It covers more than 3,200 square kilometres. In the coming year the Sunshine Coast Council will be speaking with the Sunshine Coast community, including residents in the proposed reserve area, about what a local dark sky reserve could mean and how communities can get involved in protecting the region from light pollution. Dark Sky Reserve locations around the world include Central Idaho (United States), The River Murray (Australia), Mercantour (France), Aoraki Mackenzie (New Zealand), Brecon Beacons (Wales) and the Rhon Mountains (Germany). In Maleny the Brisbane Astronomical Society has been conducting dark sky telescope nights at the Maleny Golf Club site for the last ve years and hopes to have created a dark sky reserve based on the southern Sunshine Coast Council area. South East Queensland is said to be one of the most light polluted areas in the world..

The Range Croquet Club - Maleny Summer, not winter, is coming. Time to drink lots of water during your game and take advantage of every bit of shade possible. Tuesday was too wet for play so ricochet was abandoned. Dianne Horsman and Helen Andrews had the wood on Wallace Roy and Carole Atkinson in their game on Thursday. The reported score was 11 - 1. A steward’s report is pending. Nick Cram and Ken Barker played. The result was a clear win for Nick 12 – 7. Sunday conversation was dominated by the up-andcoming end of year Christmas party to be held at Maleny Grove on the 9th. Preparations are well under way with many members looking to share the joy of the season, exchange gifts, and kick up their heels before 2024. Many thanks to Maleny Grove for providing their excellent venue. Six people played on Sunday, which began hot but, with a cooling sea-breeze turned pleasant about 4 pm. Sarah Widin and Wallace, after a slow start which saw Nick go to Rover managed 7 hoops against the team consisting of Nick and Helen who scored 11. The game of the week was Dianne against Ken which Dianne won in style 26 – 4. The attached photo shows Dianne setting up the second of her breaks as the shadows creep across the lawn.

Do you want to play croquet? Croquet provides non-strenuous exercise and an effective low-intensity workout. Croquet can be played at any age and is a great way to socialise while enjoying low impact outdoor exercise. The game was apparently invented in Ireland in the
