Maleny Late Night Shopping 2023 Where friends meet for Christmas Maleny Late night shopping will be in Maple Street, Maleny and in Riverside Centre between 4pm & 8pm on Friday 8th December. What would Christmas be like in Maleny without the late night Christmas shopping night on Friday December 8th between 4p.m. and 8p.m.? Who could forget the nights when certain “allegedly responsible adults - doctor” and followers” would produce the aero shave cream? It didn’t matter if it rained. It is a night to meet new and long time friends for a chat and maybe a drink and discuss what has happened during the past year. Many times with our busy lifestyle friends only see each other a couple of times a year and this night gives them some time to socialise. Just to top this night off - who knowns you might even be lucky enough to win the $500 Maleny Gift Card sponsored by Maleny Commerce The kids will love the petting zoo at the Riverside Centre. These animals are looking forward to some friendly people to pat them whilst listening to the Salvation Army Big Brass Band. Have a great night on the run down to the 2023 Christmas season and enjoy a bit of rest and recuperation in preparation for 2024. https://issuu.com/Maleny-Grapevine-Community-News

The Range Croquet Club - Maleny There was a game of ricochet on Tuesday. Ted Gardner and Ken Barker teamed up against Sally Adams in what was an enjoyable and light-hearted game which resulted in a 6 – 4 win to Ken and Ted. Ken played Bill Habner at Nambour in a friendly game of association which resulted in a two point win 17 – 15 to Bill after good breaks were made on both sides. Donna Manning played Nick Cram in a game of singles in challenging conditions on Thursday. Heat was a factor. Donna won a close one 14 -13. Wallace Roy played a team consisting of Vince Carbery and Helen Andrews with a close but unrecorded result. Rumour has it that Wallace won but nothing was recorded in the score book. Helen and Ken appeared to have the game won against Dianne Horsman and Nick on a beautiful Sunday afternoon where the rain refused to appear and the temperature dropped. Both Nick and Dianne came good at the death to win a very chatty game 10 – 7.
At our AGM held on Saturday Sarah Widin retained the presidency with Vince Carbery returned as Vice, Priscilla Vickers secretary and Stuart Craig treasurer. This is the same team that successfully led us last year. We wish them the best in 2024.
