Councils must combine Bombala Shire, Cooma-Monaro Shire and Snowy River Shire Councils have all been deemed ‘unfit’ to remain as stand-alone councils in a report released by the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) yesterday. It has been recommended the three councils either merge with each other or become a council within a South East Joint Organisation (JO). That JO would include Bega Valley, Eurobodalla, Palerang, Queanbeyan City and Shoalhaven City. Bega, Eurobodalla and Shoalhaven have all been deemed ‘Fit’. There is no real detail on how a JO would work. Cooma-Monaro mayor Dean Lynch, said the three local mayors will now meet to discuss what they want to do. They have 30 days to reply to the recommendations. There will, however, be no more community consultation. Bombala Shire mayor Bob Stewart, said last week he expected his council would be expected to join CoomaMonaro and Snowy River. Snowy River Shire’s general manager Joe Vescio said last week he thought his council had submitted a strong enough application to be able to stand-alone. Cooma-Monaro John Vucic predicted last Friday that the most likely outcome would be a JO. He said his council continued to work for the best outcome for ratepayers. If councils oppose the IPART findings, forced amalgamations could result. The review of all 144 councils was instigated under the State Government’s Fit For the Future program. IPART Chairman Dr Peter Boxall

said 52 of the 139 proposals were found to be ‘fit’ under the Fit for the Future criteria established by the Government last year. These included four merger proposals (covering nine councils) and 48 proposals from councils proposing to stand alone. “All proposals to either standalone or merge were assessed according to whether they delivered the scale and capacity, financial sustainability, the ability to effectively manage infrastructure and services, and efficiency for the community as required under the criteria,� he said. “Of the 87 proposals found to be unfit, 60 did not have sufficient scale and capacity, 18 did not meet the financial criteria and nine did not meet either of these criteria,� Dr Boxall said. “As we have said from the outset, our assessment of scale and capacity is about more than population and, in making these assessments, we have considered the Independent Local Government Review Panel’s preferred option and whether the proposal demonstrates the council can achieve the key elements of scale and capacity. “Despite smaller populations, more regional councils were assessed as satisfying the scale and capacity criteria than metropolitan councils because the ILGRP’s preferred option for regional councils recognised the local circumstances and in many cases did not propose a merger.� Dr Boxall said that IPART made the assessments based on information provided by councils, long-term financial reports and other available data. “We have not made any merger recommendations, but have assessed each council’s proposal as either ‘fit’ or ‘not fit’,� Dr Boxall said.

Agreement between campuses Cooma Tafe campus and the Cooma Universities Centre have signed a Memorandum of Understanding which hopefully will see more study opportunities available in Cooma. The MOU formalises a relationship between the two training facilities, offering vocational courses at Tafe which can be used as pathways to higher study through CUC. Courses such as Early Childhood training, Agriculture and Hospitality and Tourism are three which would fit the services available as well as the local demand. Chairman of the CUC management board, Duncan Taylor, said at the MOU signing last Thursday that the new agreement offers some exciting possibilities for students. He said study will be even more accessible in Cooma with the new agreement. TAFE Institute Director, Dianne Murray, said

the next step would be to get the working group activated to design and plan the implementation of suitable courses which can be offered. She said she did not want raise unrealistic expectations of what would be available, so it was important to get the planning right.

Cooma turns Red In a landmark partnership deal, Cooma-Monaro Shire Council has secured a major sponsorship with Red Energy to assist in accelerating the Shire’s economic development initiatives over the next three years. In announcing the unique partnership with the energy retailer, Mayor of Cooma-Monaro Shire Council, Dean Lynch, said it follows many months of confidential negotiations with Red Energy and its finalization reflects the faith the company has in the future of the local community. “This is the most significant sponsorship arrangement that the Shire Council has ever entered into, fidence and it reflects the confidence that Red Energy has e in the future of the Cooma-Monaro region. Additionally, Red Energy understands the sense and purpose of our new n marketing strategy in e’s delivering the Shire’s sion,” long-term economic vision,”

Intersection now a black spot after double fatality An intersection on the Middlingbank/ Rocky Plains Roads, will be listed as a black spot after a double fatality there on Monday. Two people have died after a semi-trailer and 4WD collided at the intersection on Monday morning. The driver and passenger inside the 4WD died at the scene. The driver of the truck was airlifted to Canberra Hospital, while their passenger was taken to Cooma Hospital by road ambulance. Diversions were in place and traffic affected throughout the day. The intersection has been a cause of concern for local resident Drew King for some time. He contacted The Monaro Post on Monday

to express his concerns. Mr King wrote “Again it has happened, this time two lives have been lost. “My approaches to the Snowy River Shire in the past seem to have fallen on deaf ears. This letter could be filled with cliches but the subject is way too serious. “Without prejudging the Coroner’s report, this intersection has before claimed a life and repeated requests to Shire staff haven’t been acted upon. “This has been a deadly intersection from its construction and no one wants to do anything about it. I use this intersection nearly everyday, with my heart in my mouth. Well now Shire

representatives, no more hiding behind the “no money” excuse, you should have been fighting with our State representative for the meagre funds required to shave the crest and adjacent scrap piles accumulated there by the Shire”. The Monaro Post contacted Snowy River Shire Council, which has control of the road as it is a regional road. Council’s manager of operations, Gary Shakespeare, advised that following this fatality, council will now be working to improve the intersection. He said he had no evidence the intersection had been the cause of the accident, but council will now be looking at

how it can improve it. Police will investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash and prepare a report for the information of the Coroner.

Mayor Lynch said. “This is a real partnership, with Red Energy financially contributing to our marketing program and providing assistance for specific activation purposes. One strategy is to create three major festival periods each year by clustering existing events and initiating new ones. Red Energy will become title sponsor of these festivals. The first of these will be announced in the next few days.” The financial details of the Red Energy sponsorship are commercialin- confidence. Based in Melbourne, Red Energy has provided affordable electricity and g gas to Australian households and bu businesses for over 10 years years. Australia’s fourth larg largest energy retailer, R Red Energy is 100% Australian-owned w with all operations a and customer service fu functions in Australia. Re Red Energy’s parent com company is Snowy Hydro Limited Limited.

Bredbo prepares for the Men from Snowy River March Last Tuesday three Bega Valley light horsemen travelled to Bredbo in preparation for the re-enactment of the Men from Snowy River recruitment march of the First World War. The entire route of the march runs from Delegate, Craigie, Mila, Bombala, Bibbenluke, Holt’s Flat, Nimitybelle (Nimmitabel), Summer Hill, Rock’s Flat, Cooma, Bunyan, Umeralla, Billylingera, Bredbo, Colinton, Michelago, Williamsdale, Q u e a n b e y a n , Bungendore, Deep Creek, Tarago, Inveralochy, Tiranna and finally finishes in Goulburn. The original march started on 6 January 1916 and finished on 29 January 1916, travelling a total of 202 miles. When they arrived in Goulburn there were 142 men who had joined to

fight for their country. Most of the men would go on to fight in the 55th Battalion. One of those men was Ernest Albert Corey who served as a stretcher-bearer and was the only Australian soldier to be awarded the Military Medal four times. Last Tuesday the Bredbo community came together at the local pub to learn more about the march and the plans for the reenactment next month. The students of the Bredbo Public School sang an old marching song from the First World War called ‘Long Way to Tipperary’. The march is set to reach Bredbo on Friday November 6 and all members of the community are invited to come along for the event.

It replaces the former Lakemba-based branch that was expelled by the National Executive in 2012 for failing to meet NSAA governance requirements. The Association’s National Council has recognised the new NSW Branch as the sole entity representing the NSAA in NSW.

The NSW branch is fostering relationships with organisations with similar interests and, more than ever, wishes to recognise the 1965-1972 Vietnam era ex-service personnel and the indigenous community. This has been borne out with our support of the other states in the recent 50th anniversary of the Second Era Commemoration Wreath Laying Service at the Australian War Memorial.

Coaches which was generously made possible with funding through Snowy River Cooma Monaro Community Transport. After much conversation and anticipation we arrived at our first ‘port of call’. The Bega Pioneers Museum volunteers were ready to greet us with a lovely morning tea of home-baked scones with jam and cream and a cuppa which was enjoyed whilst listening to a fascinating talk by Peter Rogers, President of the Bega Historical Society. The Bega Pioneers Museum was opened in 1977 and is full of fascinating historical items large and small. Sandra and Life Member Nita engaged our group with many stories - the tale of George Trad and the old Cobargo Ambulance is a beauty!! Many members of our group commented they will be returning with family and friends to further explore the Bega Pioneers Museum. After a scenic drive we

made our way to the Tathra Bowling Club where we were warmly greeted by Secretary Manager Grant and the team and treated to a delicious lunch where our group socialised, shared and created new memories. We also celebrated the birthday of Len Pawsey who was 97 years young on the day. Len was treated to a rousing rendition of ‘Happy Birthday’ and cake for all to share. As the group departed and said their farewells, all agreed it was a most enjoyable and memorable day... The Autumn Leaves Group meet on the first and third Wednesday of the month at various towns in the Snowy River Shire.

Glenn meets our McGrath nurse

Sandra McEwan, Glenn McGrath and Fiona Cooper Our local McGrath Foundation Breast Cancer nurse Fiona Cooper and one of her patients, Sandra McEwan, got to meet with Glenn McGrath last Wednesday. The Australian fast bowler was in Cooma as a speaker at the NSW Weeds Conference. Mrs Cooper said that it was a pleasure to meet the man in person and that she was proud to be part of the McGrath Foundation. McGrath Foundation nurses play a vital role in supporting people diagnosed with breast cancer and their families. “When a person is diagnosed with breast cancer, it can be a very overwhelming experience,” says Mrs Cooper, “Not only are they being bombarded with a

sudden and complicated medical pathway, they are also dealing with the emotional side of things.” “As a McGrath Foundation nurse, my role is to be a support person, coordinate their care, explain things and educate the patient, liaise with specialists, monitor their progress, help with symptom management and be a voice for them.” Sandra McEwan is one of the people that Mrs Cooper helps in our community, and she says the support she provides is invaluable. “Fiona, and Karen in Canberra, are a great support to me,” she says, “Sometimes it can feel like nothing is happening, and these ladies just seem to click their fingers and make everything right.”

Delegate community welcomes Scott The Delegate community has welcomed a new police officer, with Senior Constable Scott Brotherton having joined the district’s police force on October 12. As many will know, Scott was born and bred in Bombala, and having lived in the local area for most of his life, has a solid rapport with the community. Scott started policing in a very different environment, working in Redfern from 2010 until 2014 before being transferred to Queanbeyan. He was extremely pleased to be posted to

Delegate this year and will hold the position there for the next three years. “I have settled in really well, and all the locals have been fantastic so far,” he said. “I’m looking forward to the coming years, which will give me the chance to experience rural policing after being in the city for the majority of my career.” Pictured, Senior Constable Scott Brotherton has settled into his posting in Delegate, and is pictured here at Bombala’s Police Remembrance Day.

The Monaro Dance Centre’s eisteddfod rising stars The Monaro Dance Centre performed six solo, one duo and six group routines at the recent KAR (Kids Artistic Revue) Eisteddfod held at Erindale College in the ACT on October 9, 10 and 11. KAR is an American worldwide touring eisteddfod, with the judges assessing the “best of the best” as dance schools come from Canberra, Sydney and of course Cooma! Like most Dance Eisteddfods, awards are given based on a percentage score. Awards are High Gold, Gold, High Silver, Silver, High Bronze, Bronze. All routines are categorised by how many hours the students spend per week in the studio. All of Monaro Dance Centre’s routines were in the “Rising Star” Category, second only to the “Elite” category. All solo students placed in the top 10, performing flawlessly according to judges, in an extremely competitive Eisteddfod. All Monaro Dance Centre students also placed in the top 10, with Bombala’s Brady Jones taking out the highest scoring solo routine in the 13 years Rising Star category. All of the MDC troupe routines received a High Gold award. One of the troupes in the under 12 years age group received top honours, also gaining the “Highest Scoring” badge. Local troupes

also placed second and third in the under 10 years categories. MDC received the Judges Award for stage use and positioning, the Most Entertaining Routine Award, and the Video of the Week Award, which is able to be viewed on the KAR website and can be voted as the National Best Video of the Year. Beyond all this, Monaro Dance Centre had the highest Rising Star score and therefore was the winning studio of the whole competition in the Rising Star category. And even better, all students that competed were invited to attend workshops in New York, Hollywood, Disneyland and Las Vegas. This year Monaro Dance Centre has competed at Wagga Wagga Dance Eisteddfod, Canberra Dance Festival, Showcase National Dance Championships and Kids Artist Revue being our last for 2015. Showgroup along with the other students from Monaro Dance Centre are now working towards their end of year production ‘Monaro Dance Centre on Broadway’ which will be performed on December 10 and 11.

Romancing the Snowy October 30 – November 1

What better place for a weekend of romantic literature than beside the lake at Jindabyne in the heart of the Snowy Mountains. It’s going to be a magical event with nine of the best romance and rural romance Australian authors here to talk about their books, inspirations, characters and their art and craft. Come along to meet and greet your favourite authors at the welcome drinks on Friday night, at a workshop, a panel discussion or an author talk and book signing over the entire weekend. A fun ‘Spicks’n’Specks’ style dinner is to be held at Siesta Villa on Saturday night where plenty of secrets about

your favourite authors are sure to be revealed. “Rural Australian romance literature has become a very popular market in the last few years, thanks to some of the Festival authors like Rachael Treasure, Jennie Jones, Cathryn Hein and Karly Lane” Festival organiser Tanya West said. “Its where feminism meets farming.” Rachael Treasure added. The genre is quite relatable for the country readers but also something quite escapist for the city dwellers who love the fantasy of toughing it out on the land and having a strong romantic connection with a tough on-the-land man. Other authors attending will be Margareta Osborn, Amy Andrews, Shannon Curtis, Bronwyn Parry and Sandy Curtis. Expect a fun filled weekend with many special moments to treasure and stories galore to enjoy. All details about the workshops and events are available on the website at www.romancingthesnowy. com.au. Seats are booking fast so don’t be disappointed and book online today for that special weekend of romance, friendship and surprise.

Snowy Youth Council attend State Conference Snowy Youth Council members and the Shire’s Youth Development Officer attended the annual NSW Youth Council Conference on September 11-13, hosted by Eurobodalla Shire Council. The conference included inspirational speakers and was jampacked with news and ideas. It included team building activities from the area such as surfing lessons, sea kayaking and a trip to Mogo Zoo. A highlight was being able to personally question the Hon. Dr Peter Hendy, Federal Member for EdenMonaro on youth matters. Claire Rogerson, Snowy River Shire Council’s Youth Development Officer said, “Local Snowy Youth Council members are well informed on community affairs and all have an interest in local government and social justice. It was this interest, that they found common ground with other like minded youth at the Conference.” Whilst at the conference the Snowy Youth Council were challenged to examine what was lacking or needed in their local community. Elliott Pearson, from the youth council said,” We all agreed that there are many areas that youth struggle with

Mr Vescio commented, “At the end of our meeting they presented me with a very cool hat with their logo on it. I have invited local youth to attend a future council meeting to present their ideas to our elected representatives. In the mean time, I look forward to meeting with them again and listening to the needs and hopes of our Snowy River Shire youth. Keep up the good work Snowy Youth Council team!” Snowy Youth Council is open to young people aged over 12 years living and learning in the Snowy River Shire.

Smiles all around at the SMGS Let’s Explore program On Friday 16th October, the SMGS Let’s Explore transitional program began for students who are starting school in 2016. The program is designed to provide students with the opportunity to meet the Kindergarten teacher and the other children with whom they will be going to school the following year. It also enables them to engage in some learning experiences in a classroom environment to help them become familiar with the school. Each session has a different theme to allow children to experience different aspects of school life and things to expect next year. Kindergarten teacher, Ms Smith, said, “The children were all excited about being at school; some even wore their new school uniform, and they all eagerly joined in the learning experiences designed for the session.” The students participated in singing, dancing, games and educational activities

based on stories that had been read. There were happy faces from all the students and they were excited to share what they had done when they were collected by their parents. “The great thing about transition programs is that the teacher and children can start to develop positive and respectful relationships to allow the children to feel safe and secure in their new learning environment,” Ms Smith added. The SMGS Let’s Explore program runs every Friday morning from 9am to 11am, from now until Friday 13th November, and is open to the whole Jindabyne community. To register, please contact Registrar Mrs Joan Herringer on info@ smgs.nsw.edu.au.

Council supports CoomaMonaro as a Refugee Welcome Zone At last week’s Cooma-Monaro Shire Council meeting, a unanimous decision was made to support the Refugee Welcome Zone proposal. This issue has come to the fore as a result of the recent crisis in Syria. With the Australian government welcoming 12,000 additional refugees to the country, Federal Member for Eden-Monaro Dr Peter Hendy is encouraging our region to get behind the cause. A presentation was made by Yvi Henderson in public forum at the Council meeting last Monday. Ms Henderson is a member of the Multicultural Activity Group In Cooma (MAGIC) as well as the Monaro Refugee Support Group (MRSG). Being a multicultural community, and one that celebrates that multiculturalism, Ms Henderson said that Cooma would be the ideal place to welcome Syrian refugees. However, Ms Henderson also said that she understands the issues surrounding refugees often stir up many different emotions, but stressed that it is important to stick to the

facts. She also stated that at this stage, the MRSG is looking at the possibility of offering support to only three to five Syrian refugee families in the Cooma area. The MRSG would also like to look at providing refugee children with local school scholarships. In making their decision last Monday, Council have agreed to speak with government and other providers in progressing the possibility of any future settlement of Syrian refugees. The MRSG has a petition that members of the community can sign in support of Cooma-Monaro becoming a Refugee Welcome Zone. It currently has over 200 signatures. To sign the petition and to become involved with the MRSG, visit www. change.org/p/support-coomamonaro-council-in-becoming-arefugee-welcome-zone. Please note the Refugee Welcome Zone community forum that was due to be held this Sunday has been postponed as the MRSG collect and prepare more information.

Hidden treasures in Berridale Bruce wins at Cooma H Hardware Two Berridale women are among 106 community volunteers across NSW acknowledged as hidden treasures on the 2015 Rural Women’s Hidden Treasures Honour Roll. Myra McPhie and Robin Sevenoaks have been included on the Honour Roll for their valuable volunteer work within the Monaro. The Member for Monaro John Barilaro and Bronnie Taylor MLC said both women play a key role within their local communities. “These women provide unwavering support to our families, charities, organisations and businesses in the Monaro and are true treasures in our community,” said Mr Barilaro. “Myra has had a long association serving with

numerous volunteer groups such as the Berridale Anglican Church, Berridale Tennis Club, Berridale Aged Hostel and teaching children to read through the Reading Recovery program. “Robin is committed to her community through her former work as a Snowy River Shire Councillor where she helped introduce recycling to the shire waste management plan. She is a long-time member of the RFS, CWA and Landcare groups.” Ms Taylor said the women were nominated by others who have seen first-hand how their important work has enabled those needing assistance to flourish. “I thank them both for their commitment to improving our local area and for their

selflessness in sharing their time and energy for the benefit of others,” said Ms Taylor. “Volunteering is vital to ensure that those needing assistance in our communities are able to access help and to ensure local services continue to flourish. “We thank these women for their passion and commitment to keeping our communities across NSW strong.” The Honour Roll was unveiled by Ms Taylor at the 2015 Rural Women’s Gathering at Glen Innes on 9 October 2015. This year’s nominees join a growing list of nearly 700 rural women volunteers who have been recognised since the first Honour Roll was launched in 2010.

Next generation of poplars Local builder Bruce Geach was the lucky winner of the second prize in a competition run by H Hardware Timber and Building Supplies. Taking home a Makita Jobsite radio valued at $229, Bruce was happy with the result.

To enter the competition, which has been running for the last three months, participants had to simply spend $150 in store. First prize was a Quintrex 450 top ender boat and trailer, which went to a local electrician in Brassall, Queensland.

In 2014, Snowy River Shire Council made a commitment to the community that, as part of the Berridale Poplar Regeneration Project, 44 Lombardi Poplar Trees would be planted along the approach roads to Berridale; 11 at each approach. The significance of the number 44 is to replicate the number of trees planted by school children

in 1935. The first planting on October 28 2014 saw Mr Keven Burke, ably assisted by Mayor John Cahill plant the first tree on the approach to Berridale from Cooma. Mr Burke was one of the children that participated in the first planting in 1935. A total of 18 Lombardi Poplars have been removed from the

original avenue of trees that line the main road through Berridale and the next planting, scheduled for Wednesday November 18 at 10am will total 21 to have been planted. A request will be made to Berridale Public School to once again assist Council with the planting, keeping the tradition first established in 1935 alive.

The Mature Mob’s latest outing The day started with a cloudy sky and a real coolness in the Cooma air, but brightened beautifully after arrival at Tulip Top Gardens to show off the magnificence of the blooms on trees and in the gardens. Beauty surrounded the Mob as they walked between the gardens or enjoyed a morning cuppa under the shade of the flowering trees. A tasty lunch was served in the big marquee, after which folk again meandered or relaxed and chatted. Then it was off to the National Film and Sound Archives to be greeted by guide Cris. He ushered us into a big hall and explained the history of the heritage building. The site was formally gazetted in 1924 as the National Museum of Australian Zoology, and architectural plans show that zoological gardens were intended for the grounds. Then in 1930 it was refurbished to contain the Australian Institute of Anatomy. In 1984 the NFSA moved into its new national headquarters.

The Mob was then privileged to view the restored 1906 film “The Story of the Ned Kelly Gang” which traces the life of the Kelly Gang and includes the key scene of Kelly’s last stand. Moving on into the Arc Theatre in comfortable chairs, to celebrate PNG’s 50th anniversary of independence the Mob watched a couple of historic “Australian Diary” documentaries about Papua New Guinea Territory in the 1950’s. The travel was lightened with competitions relating to flowers and spring, making the whole day enjoyable and one of fun, friendship and education. The next Mature Mob outing is the annual Mystery Tour Thursday 3 December Contact Heather (6454 4305) for bookings maturemob@coomaanglican. org.au

After this date the 1.2 million scripts will be marked and results will be released at 6am on Wednesday, December 16.

BOMBALA COUNCIL GENERAL MANAGER: Ms Ngaire McCrindle Last week we attended the NSW Local Government Association Annual Conference and heard talks from the Premier and Minister for Local Government on their expectations and immediate process in the Fit for the Future reform. While the State is introducing some excellent reform in relation to legislative change, “red tape” and reviewing federal assistance grant allocation processes, the main topic of interest was the IPART Fit for the Future Report and potential mergers. Both the Premier and Minister advised that there will be change and indicated that there will be fewer local governments in the State after this reform. As I write this we are waiting for the IPART report to be presented to the Minister and then for the Government to release this report. They indicated that this will be sooner than later and that we have one last consultation opportunity prior to the end of this year. They indicated that at present the local government elections are still occurring in September next year following this reform.

Caring for the Carer‌Carers Week ‘Pamperfest’ Rydges Horizons Resort Jindabyne

On Tuesday October 13, a special Carers Week event was held at Rydges Horizons Resort Jindabyne to acknowledge and celebrate carers and the important role they play in our communities.It was a great opportunity to catch up with friends and other carers and to enjoy some ‘ME’ time. Mini massages by Lisa Green from Synergy Massage Jindabyne were very much appreciated and enjoyed by the group as were the ‘Taking care of you’ talks by Verity Jackson and Tracy Clifton. Just prior to lunch Lee Taylor-Friend gave a talk on ‘writing as therapy’ and shared her new book of poetry with the group expressing how poetry has supported her on her own carers journey. A delicious luncheon was served after which most of the group went for a lake side walk to explore and experience the new health and fitness equipment at the Jindabyne Clay Pits. Relaxed and renewed, our carers headed for home reflecting on a lovely day enjoyed by all. Many thanks to Lisa Green for the fabulous massages and Rydges Horizons Resort for their hospitality. Our next Carers Support Group lunch will be held in Cooma

The Bombala and District Carers Group indulged in some much needed pampering to celebrate Carers Week last Wednesday. The seven ladies began with a cheerful cuppa at Linga Longa before moving on to have their hair done at Hair on Main Street. From here they shared in some freshly prepared platters of food at the coordinator’s house, enjoying a happy afternoon in the sunshine. The relaxed day was made possible through the support of a grant from Carers NSW especially for Carers Week. If you are a carer in the Bombala district and

LEBANESE CEDAR TREE IN CENTENNIAL PARK The Lebanese Cedar located near the Cooma Visitors Centre in Centennial Park was inspected by an arborist following a large branch failure. This tree has lost several limbs during the past three years and as such warranted further monitoring The most recent inspection concluded that there are concerns for the safety of the public. The Arborist’s report recommended that this tree should be removed to eliminate the risk to the public. Staff realise that issues such as the removal of mature trees can often upset some members of the community but it is also important to maintain Centennial Park as a safe venue for public events and recreation.

DO YOU HAVE A POOL/SPA Pool Registrations All private pools/spa pools need to be registered with the NSW Governments new pool registration site – www. swimmingpoolregister.nsw.gov.au KEEP YOUR POOL SAFE: • Always keep your fence, gates, doors and window locks secure and in good condition. Regularly check them. • Always keep your gate and door latches and self-closing mechanisms in good working order. • Always close your gates and doors when not in actual use. • Never prop gates open. • Never leave climbable objects near the fence.

• Always keep trees, shrubs and creepers trimmed well away from the fence. • Always leave your filter covered so small children cannot get into it and keep chemicals out of view and reach. • Always supervise children around the pool at all times. A fence is no substitute for responsible supervision. • Teach your children to swim from an early age. • Undertake resuscitation (CPR) training for emergency situations. If you have any problems or are unsure if you have registered please contact Council’s Environmental Services on 6455 1901.

Valmai and her incredible collection Elle Mackintoch

Valmai Mylan’s interest in fashion began when she started catwalk modelling for David Jones as a teenager. Little did she know that this would spark what has developed into an impressive collection of clothing that she keeps in her garage in Cooma. Valmai was born in Kendall, NSW. Growing up here she met her husband at just six years old. Going through school together, they were married at St Mary’s church in North Sydney when Valmai was 22. Her husband being in the Navy, they travelled all over Australia together with their six children in tow. Their first two, Julie and Kerry, were born in Victoria, then Susan and John were born in Windsor followed by Peter in Cottleslow, WA and finally Louise in Windsor. Valmai now has 14 grandchildren ranging from 32 to 15 years old whom she adores and dotes upon. With thousands of pieces, Valmai’s collection is extensive. She has hundreds of wedding dresses, tails, bridesmaid dresses, Hawaiian outfits, clown costumes, safari suits,

colonial clothing, flapper dresses, hundreds of different shoes, hats and more than 500 wigs. She says she has collected many items from friends and family, as well as garage sales and op shops. She is also an accomplished seamstress and often creates garments as well as repairs and alters clothes in her collection. Hiring the pieces out for parties and functions, Valmai donates most of the proceeds to charities. She also hosts fashion parade fundraisers for charities and is happy to lend her clothes for any fundraising event in the area. “Being able to help people is why I love my collection,” says Valmai, “It all started when I organised a fashion parade fundraiser for St Anthony’s Home in Croydon. This was an orphanage that housed about 78 children under two years old that came from unmarried mothers.” Valmai also generously lent some clothes for the 60th

Snowy Reunion celebration at Adaminaby in 2009, which were mainly worn by children. The colonial clothes caught the eye of the then Governor General Quentin Bryce, who attended the official opening of the Snowy Scheme Museum in 2011. Ms Bryce requested to meet Valmai to discuss her collection, and subsequently offered to donate to Valmai her collection of hats. Valmai describes this as one of the highlights of her collecting career. Valmai also has a great collection of Scottish clothes which come in handy when

she takes part in Scottish dancing, another hobby of hers. “My husband was Irish, and I’ve always loved dancing, so it wasn’t hard to pick up,” she says. An admirer of all things vintage, Valmai is also a member of the Sapphire Coast Historic Vehicle Club and owns a beautiful Morris Minor. “I’ve always loved cars,” says Valmai, “I even taught myself to drive. When I was young, all you had to do was show that you could drive around the block and you would be given your licence.”

the

postman calls

It is amazing how this end of every year seems to speed up, with so many events and happenings. In the next few weeks we have a the Nimity Bell celebrations, the Motor Fest, the busking championships, the Snowy ride, the Bombala Bike show, a showjumping carnival, the Adaminaby races, followed by the Cooma races, the Thredbo Cannonball run and then, Christmas. Christmas could be a bit of an anticlimax after all that! This week, the circus is in town. The Postman can remember (just) the excitement of going to the circus as a kid. The trapeze artists used to be a favourite act, and the clowns, well, they were just silly! Current controversy about having big cats in cages has a few people excited – but as the cats are bred in captivity, their welfare is strictly legislated and their wellbeing essential to their attraction, it seems a bit of an over-reaction. It is sort of akin to keeping domestic moggies as inside pets, except lions and tigers need bigger and stronger climbing frames and toys.

RFID tags too pricey Editor, The word is that Australian agriculture is about to experience another golden age. But for sheep producers, the recent talk of governments mandating the use of RFID tags is making them very nervous. The reasons put forward are to improve traceability for biosecurity and for productivity gains. But the last thing the sheep industry needs is a massive cost base increase imposed on us by our governments. The RFID tags will only be a small part of the cost with massive changes to delivery and transport systems required. Our industry must do everything from a productivity and profitability perspective. No longer can we tolerate government imposed schemes that increase the cost of doing business for no gain. The current mob based system has outstanding traceability when the National Business Rules are implemented. All states signed up to these years ago, but few are entirely implementing or enforcing them including Victoria where many areas of risk have been identified. Most of these risks were where government had reduced resources over many years or in areas they never attempted to address ie peri-urban

spread. There are other key issues around national consistency, supply of information and disease prevention more broadly. Mandating RFIDs in sheep will not address these concerns and a piecemeal approach to mandating RFIDs in some states and not others would lead to enormous confusion and do nothing to enhance national traceability. There are currently no regulations preventing the use of RFIDs by producers in their flock. Producers are quite free to use them if they want to. Recently, Prime Minister Turnbull spoke of innovation, being flexible and adaptable and responding to the market to drive growth and employment. This is perhaps even more true in regional Australia than ever before. But sheep producers must be allowed to decide how to run their own businesses. Governments must do their bit to provide a profitable framework over the long term. Mandating a massive fixed cost impost onto sheep producers is not one of them. Ed Storey, Senior Vice President, WoolProducers Australia and Chair, NSW Farmers’ Wool Committee

Bombala police report This week Steve, Scott and I would like to commend the Local Community for yet another successful Bombala Race meet. There were large crowds at the race track and all were well behaved. I was at the track and witnessed a very happy and exited crowd with no incidents reported to Police. As local Police, we all feel proud to be part of the community and thank everyone for assisting on the day and for excellent behaviour throughout the night. We conveyed a number of people home during the night and it was great to see that no one was driving whilst intoxicated. Police conducted over 200 breath tests on the day with no driver being charged which is outstanding. In other news Police in the area will be conducting safe storage

audits for firearms. We are requesting that all licensed firearm holders ensure all firearms are accounted for and all requirements are met before Police arrive. Appointments will be made during the next few months to allow for compliance. If there are failed inspections, firearms will be seized and the registry notified. Please do the right thing. Any questions about this matter or if you wish for Police to assist with any other matter please do not hesitate to contact Steve or myself on 0264583444 or by email as below. mark1nat@police.nsw.gov.au and gay1ste@police.nsw.gov.au.

Bright sparks at SMGS Bright Sparks is the name of the weekly “homework” session at Snowy Mountains Grammar School. This session gives students the opportunity to complete homework in the presence of teachers who are able to assist them and has proven to be a very successful introduction at the school. Sessions attract students from Years Seven to 12, and often more than 30 students attend at any given time. It has had the effect of empowering students to take control of their own learning and assists them to complete work in what may be considered a more conducive study

environment. It also opens the possibility for collaboration with group work. Bright Sparks has been running for six months at SMGS after being conceived by Dr Michael Barton, the Director of Curriculum and Academic Development, and Dr Darryl Nelson, the Head of the Science and Technology Faculty, very early this year. Both teachers run the sessions on a regular basis with other dedicated teachers within the school. Bright Sparks is one link in the chain that improves student outcomes at SMGS.

It’s go, go, go at St Joseph’s Recent times at St Joseph’s, Bombala, have been anything but quiet with the students experiencing some very diversified activities at the same time that the school has been undergoing some much-needed physical refurbishments. The whole school recently enjoyed a Canberra “immersion day” where the aim was to give students a range of experiences at a diversity of the big

During the “quiet” time of the recent holidays the school was a hive of activity with new carpets installed as well as an acoustic ceiling and wall panelling.

Some of the Banks have some good special ‘spring’ offers happening, so it is a good time if you are considering buying, or even reviewing your existing loan. The Lenders are very hungry for your business and are often willing to negotiate on interest rates to win the deal. Let me do the comparisons for you, and maybe save you thousands! I offer my clients a personal approach when dealing with their finance needs. I take the time to listen, clarify, and understand your situation, to enable me to find the most suitable loan option for you. While I specialise in property lending solutions, I have also built up a range of referral partners who can assist with other areas of financial services. So whatever your financial needs, be it home loans, equipment finance, or insurance & financial planning, I am your first point of call. If I am unable to assist you directly, I can refer you to someone who can.

This year Hazeldean is celebrating 150 years of breeding merino sheep and it is with no small sense of pride and achievement the stud passes the historic milestone. James Litchfield, the great, great grandfather of present principal, Jim Litchfield, established the Hazeldean Merino Stud in 1865 and the Litchfield family have continued to own and manage the flock since that time. Jim Litchfield said “If there has been one defining feature of our continued management of the stud it has been the pursuit of economically important traits and using the latest technology to help us when possible.” The word ‘technology’ possibly didn’t even exist in 1865 however once the advance of science delivered improvements to breeding and selection the Litchfields thoroughly examined and introduced these modern selection methods into the real world of commercial wool production. Jim Litchfield said “I think this open mindedness and a realisation that the skill of the studbreeder was not omnipotent, gave us the edge to produce animals with far greater genetic merit than we would have otherwise.” He added that the families philosophy of breeding like with like and not embarking on a corrective mating strategy, had given Hazeldean sheep the predictability and genetic depth to maximise returns for commercial growers Hazeldean looks forward to the future and they say if that means another 150 years then they would welcome it. You can view the short 150th Anniversary video at: www.hazeldean.com.au The 2015 Hazeldean sale rams will be amongst the top end of all industry 2014 drop rams. The average ASBV’s across the whole sale team are far above industry average for fleece weight, fibre diameter and the FP+, MP+ and DP+ indexes. This year’s group of Auction rams has an average MP+ Index of 155% which put the average of these rams in the top 10% of Industry as a group.

It’s okay. We’re addicted too.

Training the trainee‌ Monaro Farming Systems leads the way As this year draws to a close, Monaro Farming Systems looks forward to continuing their successful traineeship program in 2016 for young school leavers on the Monaro who are looking for a long term career in agriculture. As of the end of 2015, seven young trainees will have been inducted and trained through the program. This year, the trainee was local girl Kelsey McDonald (Bunyan) who worked across eight to nine “hostâ€? properties in the Cooma and Bombala region. Kelsey, a local girl from Bunyan, near Cooma started her traineeship with MFS in February 2015. She was the successful candidate of approximately 17 applicants of which a shortlist of five locals were interviewed. Kelsey completed her

Year 12 last year at Monaro High and was attracted to the traineeship to try and build on her practical skills in agriculture. With a shearer as a father, she already had experience in shearing and crutching sheep and a head start in several other areas of farm work. Kelsey has enjoyed her experience this year and the chance to learn from some of the leading producers on the Monaro. Asked why he continues to participate in the program, Malcolm Pearce from Coolringdon replied “Having been through the jackeroo system myself, I still look back on those years as being a good introduction to learning many skills that I often use today. I see the traineeship as mirroring that system with the added benefit that you can learn how to perform a particular task many different

ways.� Craig Mitchell (MFS member) was the main initiator of the traineeships due to the growing concern of retaining and attracting young local youth to choose a career in the agricultural industry and to stay and work on the Monaro. Craig wanted to “give young people the opportunity to gain skills and get an understanding of a broad view of successful management practices across the Monaro�. Kelsey hopes to perhaps get work in the pastoral industry further north next year and then return to the Monaro to continue working in the rural community. Kelsey has completed a Cert III in Agriculture as part of the traineeship. Funding for the program has been sourced mainly out of the MFS

operating budget with help from RDASI (Rural Development Association Southern Inland), Australian Wool Innovation (AWI) which paid the trainees to attend the shearing school at “Coolringdon� in May 2015 as well as NSW Farmers (Cooma Branch) and RB Sellars who has donated work clothing each year. Advertising for the trainee/s positions for 2016 is due to start in early November via local papers. For more information and to obtain an expression of intrest form please contact Nancy Spoljaric – MFS Project Officer, Nancy@Meridian-ag.com.au / 0438 066 322 or visit the MFS website www. monarofarmingsystems.com.au and look for MFS Agricultural Traineeships under the projects tab.

Sniffing out the weeds - weed detector dogs do their stuff What has four legs, a nose and is the new weapon in the war against weeds? Sally and Connor are Weed Eradication Detector Dogs (WEDD), trained to sniff out weeds that are difficult to spot. Sally and Connor were in Cooma last week for the NSW Weeds Conference. They gave demonstrations of their skills with National Parks and Wildlife Services (NPWS) staff hiding weeds on the showground for the dogs to detect. At the moment they are only being trained to find one weed in particular – hawkweed. There are two kinds of hawkweed that are the focus of the eradication campaign, and they are orange hawkweed and mouse-ear hawkweed. This weed is a member of the daisy family and is a prolific seeder. In New Zealand hawkweed is widespread, covering about 22 per cent of the country. It was found in the Kosciuszko National Park in 2003 and has been reeled in over the last 10 years. Now with continuing monitoring and research, the hawkweed is at a stage where eradication is possible. Initial trials were undertaken by the Victorian Department of Primary Industries (DPI), which found that the dogs are able to differentiate

between different plant species. Hawkweed is particularly difficult for humans to sight, particularly when they are not flowering. However, with a strong metallic smell, it seems to be easy for the dogs to pick up. In terms of training techniques, the dogs are introduced to the scent and given a tennis ball as their reward. They are also given cues, such as having a little jacket put on, as well as the trainer dressing in a high visibility jacket. Sally is 15 months old and the more experienced of the two as Connor is only seven months old. They spend most of their time in Sydney with their expert trainer, Steve Austin. However they will go out into the field in November, December and January to search out and help eradicate the hawkweed in Kosciuszko National Park.

Be on the lookout for snakes and spiders NSW Ambulance paramedics are asking people to be mindful that the arrival of spring and the warmer weather has coincided with increased snake and spider activity and the potential for bites. NSW Ambulance Inspector John Brotherhood said snakes in particular are on the move, looking for food and a mate after their winter hibernation. Inspector Brotherhood said in the 12 months to August 31 this year, paramedics attended 813 incidents involving snakes and spiders.

This included 65 patients with suspected funnel web bites, 248 with suspected snake bites and the balance with spider bites. (Please note these were suspected cases reported to the Triple Zero (000) call taker.) Inspector Brotherhood, who is based in Sydney’s South West, said the recent hot weather is bringing out increasing numbers of snakes. “We’re basically urging caution. Around the home, remove piled up debris from the yard and keep lawns mowed to reduce the potential for unexpected visitors,” Inspector Brotherhood said. “Check items of clothing that have been left outside before wearing them. Paramedics attend many cases where people have put on boots and gloves and been bitten by spiders and even snakes which were hidden inside. Also, if you lift something such as a rock or log, lift so it’s facing away from you.” Inspector Brotherhood advised that in the event of a snake or spider bite, people should call Triple Zero (000) and ask for an ambulance. He added first aid for snake and spider bites varied depending on the species and included: For snakes and funnel web spiders: · if the bite is on a limb, apply a pressure immobilisation bandage. The bandage should not

cut off the circulation; · if the bite is not on a limb, apply direct, firm pressure to the bite site with your hands. Keep the patient still and discourage them from walking around; and · never cut or excise the wound. Do not attempt to suck out the venom out and don’t apply a tourniquet. For spiders (eg redbacks, white-tails, trapdoors): · apply an ice pack or cold compress to relieve the pain; and · if severe symptoms develop, seek medical aid; and · in the case of small children involved in a suspected redback spider bite, medical aid should be sought, irrespective of whether symptoms manifest. To have a snake safely removed from a property call your local wildlife care organisation, a licensed pest control operator or your local NPWS Office. Alternatively, if you need assistance or advice on snakes and other reptiles, contact WIRES on 1300 094 737. WIRES advises snakes are generally placid creatures and if left alone will invariably disappear of their own accord. People are advised to never approach a snake as many people are bitten either trying to catch or get rid of a snake.

Student reunion at Bombala races The Bombala Races was not just about horses and hats this year, it was also the scene of a number of very happy get togethers on Saturday. One of them was the reunion of the Class of 2005, with former students of Bombala High, Delegate and Bombala Public, and St Joseph’s Primary Schools celebrating their ten year reunion. The gang shared the afternoon in style in the marquee, with their area being decorated with old school photos. These were happily looked over by the 17 former students who gathered, as well as school staff, with Garry Herron, Donna Shelley, Leisa Mackey and Anne Caldwell all sharing in the reunion fun. “We held our reunion at the local races and the Bombala RSL Club to bring ex students back to the town we all grew up in,� one of the coordinators, Chelsea Crean said. “Some students hadn’t seen each other

for close to ten years.� Many of the former students travelled to attend, but some distances proved just too great, with regretful apologies coming from those living in New York, Canada, WA and QLD. “It was a great day to catch up with old friends and find out what students have achieved since leaving school,� Chelsea said.

Denis running again to raise money for MS Former Bombala local, Denis Reid is at it again taking on a mammoth run through the region to raise funds for MS. In December 2013, Denis ran from Eden to Bombala for the cause, now he’s set to run even further, taking on around 200kms in less than 48 hours as he runs from Merimbula to Jindabyne. “I’m 67 years of age and my wife, Annette, was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in 2000. Annette fought to maintain a ‘normal’ life for 10 years but now MS has taken its toll,” said Denis, who cares for Annette fulltime. “It’s too late for Annette, but through completing My Personal Challenge for MS I hope to raise financial support for MS sufferers and their families to bring them a little bit of relief for Christmas.” Denis will start running from Merimbula on October 31, passing through Wyndham, Cathcart and Bibbenluke before heading on to Dalgety, crossing the Snowy River at Buckley’s Crossing, and continuing on to Jindabyne. While supporters are encouraged to join Denis anywhere along the route to run alongside him or simply cheer him on, there will be some points of particular meaning to him.

“I’ve chosen to run this year to help mark the anniversary of the Men from Snowy River March, so I’ll be wearing a slouch hat and carrying an Aussie flag over the bridge at Bibbenluke to salute the Diggers,” he said. “I had three great uncles who served, and it’s very close to my heart. “I’ll also be calling in to lay flowers at the graves of some of my family members at the beautiful little cemetery at Beloka Church.” The site is also known as Boloco Cemetery, and Denis’s family originally comes from around the Little Popong area. Another touching moment on the run will be when a young Under 14s Vikings player from Canberra joins Denis to run into Jindabyne, dedicating the gesture to his late grandmother, who also suffered from MS. Overall the route will be around 190kms and will make a 915 metre ascent, a challenge for runners of any age, so it is fortunate Denis has a dedicated crew supporting him. Among them is Bombala’s Wendy Hampshire, who will join the team to help out with everything from raising awareness for the run in the lead-up to being a relief driver. To play your part you can support Denis by

meeting him along the way to cheer him on or even run alongside him for a ways, with details of the route and times through Hunter Reid on 0424 926 915 or Denis himself on 0414 635 805. Most importantly of all, please donate through www.give.everydayhero.com, being sure to search for Denis Reid and his ‘Sea to the Snow’ page. “I understand money can be a bit tight leading up to Christmas but I ask you to look at your loved ones and be truly grateful for all you have. Think of the little things taken for granted: running; walking; playing with your children and grandchildren; and even putting your own shoes on. These are daily challenges faced by MS sufferers,” Denis said. MS Australia aims to minimise the impact of multiple sclerosis on all individuals affected by the disease, their families, carers and the community by offering a wide range of assistance, services and equipment. MS’s goal is to assist everyone affected by MS to live life to their full potential and secure the care and support they need, until they ultimately find a cure.

The Cooma Car Club Girder Fork rally

The annual Girder Fork rally was held last weekend. Pictured, Bombala’s Simon Till admired the 1914 Douglas ridden into Bombala by Kevin Boardman of Camden. Inset: riders leave the Cooma Car Club on Saturday morning and some 1912 Girder Fork bikes, which were the oldest bikes in the rally.

MOTOR

The action this Sunday is at Mount Gladstone Following a wonderfully successful Girder Fork motorbike rally, Cooma Car Club’s attention this week returns to preparing for next Sunday’s Mount Gladstone Hill Climb. This has been a spectacular event over the last two years with the snow line clearly visible from Mount Gladstone. The event caters for vehicles ranging from Type 1 stock standard 2WD production vehicles up to highly modified Type 4 production based 2WD vehicles known as “Sports Sedans”. In line with the Club’s policy to encourage participation by Junior (under 18 drivers), the entry fee for junior drivers is $40 compared to the normal entry fee of $75. TIMES AND ACCESS FOR SPECTATORS The hill climb at Mount Gladstone, off the Snowy Mountains Highway west of Cooma will run from 9:30am to the presentation at 3:15pm. Spectators can arrive at any time as a courtesy shuttle bus will run all day taking spectators from the bottom to the top and back again after each run. There is no charge for spectators. Food and (non-alcoholic) drink will be available. PROGRAM FOR THE DAY • Scrutineering will be at the CMHAC Club House, Bolaro Street, Cooma on October 25 from 7am to 9am. • Driver’s briefing will be held at the pit area at the top of the hill at 9am. • The event will start at 9:30am and finish by 4pm.

Cooma field and game It was a big weekend at the Cooma Field and game with action on both Saturday and Sunday. Saturday was the second running of “Come and have a go day” which went off without a hitch. 30 new and beginner shooters shot a mixed bag of targets spread out over 6 stands. It was a casual day and all who attended seemed to enjoy themselves, with everybody hitting targets throughout the day. The clubs October monthly shoot was on Sunday. The event was sponsored by South East tile and bathroom and saw an excellent turn out of shooters with 58 attending. The set up crew really went out on a limb, setting up the whole range at the furthest point from the club house. So as not to wear out the shooters, it was decided to set up temporary facilities at the end of the range as well. This involved organizing the office, score boards, kitchen, and rest areas. A big effort and thanks to all who contributed. The result was worth the effort

Jockey, Rose Pearson on Summit Storm.

Murphy Transport and Building Supplies, Lou Black Memorial Race 1.

Another great day at Bombala Races Several rain scuds could not dampen the atmosphere in what was otherwise perfect conditions for patrons at the Bombala Cup Race-meeting on Saturday. In a thrilling finish, the Dongwha Timbers 2015 Bombala Cup was won by Ultima Chance ($3.50) trained at Goulburn by Scott Collings and ridden by Kayla Nisbet. In what was a very hotly contested battle over the final stages, Ultima Chance prevailed by a half length margin from Extreme Shot and Girls Own from the Joseph and Jones stable in third position. Redentes Edge, trained at Sale in Victoria, was the unplaced and heavily backed favourite. Ultima Chance, trained at Goulburn by Scott Collings, a former professional and amateur jockey whose formative years were spent in the Bombala district, was also the winner of the 2014 Bombala Cup. The winner is raced by MW and WP Leahy and Debbie Card and has now won eight races. Race One on Saturday was the the Murphy’s Transport and Building Supplies-Lou Black Memorial Class1 and Maiden Plate over 1700 metres and attracted a field of four runners who started in the straight in front of the crowd. The small number of participants did not detract from the spectacle in the keenly contested battle, but it was Ardimento, trained by Bernie Connell at Moruya, who prevailed over Pradier and the $1.90 favourite Going Kentucky was third. Race Two was the Monaro Wool and Shute Bell Maiden Plate over 1200 and saw the photo finish needed to

determine the outcome. In an exciting result for Jindabyne/ Cooma trainer Georgie Boucher, Abington Threat, the outsider ($17) in the six horse field, and ridden by Maddison Wright, prevailed by a half head margin from Blowdakitty, from the Joseph and Jones stable, and with the Joe Cleary trained Kismet ($2.10 fav) in third. Race Three was the Calabria Wines and The Monaro Post Benchmark 45 Hcp over 1400 metres and saw seven runners head to the barriers. In a commanding three length victory, Imminent ($2.25 fav), ridden by Maddison Wright, prevailed over Mister Gibson and Greenich Girl. Imminent is trained at Moruya by Matthew Stephens. Race Four was the Wilton Logging Pty Ltd and Village Ford Maiden HCP over 900 metres. The long trip from Griffith paid dividends for trainer Russell Hogan when Three RAR ($4.25), ridden by fledgling apprentice Rachel Pearson, prevailed by a half length margin. The Bob Kimber trained Ash ‘n’ Ell ($5.50), having her first run for almost two years, was second and Cappuccino Star ($3 fav) was third. The last race of the

day was the RSL Club and Landmark Benchmark 45 Hcp over 1100 metres. Canberra trainer Rado Buljon came away victorious when his honest gelding Fire and Flood ($4.25) prevailed by the narrowest of margins from Our Cracker ($3.50), another Joseph and Jones runner, and with Cape Henry ($8) from Moruya in another 1.1 lengths back in third. Berridale grazier and livestock transport operator, Guy Warner continues to enjoy the consistency of his mare Phoebe Irene who took out a 2200 metre Benchmark Hcp at Nowra on Sunday. The Scone yearling purchase by Grandera from Classic Keys was ridden to perfection by jockey Jeff Penza and came away to score by three lengths. The mare, trained in Queanbeyan by Michael Sparrow, has now won three races and has been placed on a further thirteen occasions from 35 starts for just over $50,000 in prize-money. Earlier in the week at Moruya, Red Hot Tango raced by Karen Warner was successful in a 1300 Maiden Hcp, at only her forth race start. Red Hot Tango is trained at Moruya by Debi lee Saxton and was ridden to victory by Nick Heywood.

Bombala Races

The occasional shower of rain did absolutely nothing to dampen the spirits of the happy crowd at the 2015 Bombala Races on Saturday. In fact, one racegoer was heard to ask afterwards, “did it actually rain?”. The Bombala and District Jockey Club was delighted to welcome in an eager swarm of locals and visitors to the much loved country race meet, with some even incorporating birthdays and school reunions into the mix. “It was just a great day and while it wasn’t our biggest, we still had around 700 in the gate,” Jockey Club President, Brad Yelds said. “It was a very successful meet.” Whether they relaxed in style in the marquee, or mingled between the bar, the bookies and the track, spirits were high amongst racegoers, with local schools doing a fantastic job of catering for the hungry crowd. Recent venue additions such as the big screen and the large shelter proved popular again, while high praise was heard for even the finer details such as the jumping castle and the marquee’s seafood platters. Conditions were perfect for really glamming up this year, and this led to an impressive Fashions of the Field, which was once again generously sponsored by Joseph and Jones Racing.

Taking the glory for the juniors were Ruby Smith and the adorable Guthrie triplets for the seven Years and Under, while Taylor Ventry and Max Murdoch took out the eight to 15 Years categories. Elizabeth Tatham was the popular victor of the 16 to 30 Years Ladies, with Joe Bobbin being voted the best in this category for the Men, while the Over 30s title went to visiting racegoer, Stacey Hinton. Finally the Best Dressed Couple of the day were Amy and Malcolm Stone, while Krissee Johnson sported the Best Hat in a very competitive field of stylish headwear. Naturally the main action of the day was to be found out on the racecourse, however, with six exciting local races run and won before a cheering bunch of spectators. In a crowd pleasing result, the feature race of the event, the $12,000 Dongwha Timbers Bombala Cup, was won by Ultima Chance, trained by former Bombala man, Scott Collings, with everyone appreciating the local connection. All six races were keenly followed, however, and both the bookies and tote van were kept busy right up until the end of the day as racegoers headed into town for further celebrations.

Group 16 continues to grow The success of the Group 16 rugby league competition last season and exciting new innovations such as the Red Energy High Performance camps currently being rolled out throughout the region, has seen two potential new clubs and one old club approach Group 16 at the 2015 Annual General Meeting on Sunday, seeking inclusion into the 2016 Group 16 Rugby League competition. Reelected Group 16 President Dean Lynch stated “The Bermagui Cobargo Eels, Mogo Warriors and Tathra Sea Eagles have all expressed interest in being part of our competition next year, which would see Group 16 potentially grow to 12 teams. “These teams would give rugby league a presence in all the major towns and villages throughout South East NSW, a claim no other sporting code can match.”

The Group 16 General Committee were given a presentation from these clubs and it was decided that these clubs could potentially be accepted into the competition once they demonstrate that they can meet the existing Group 16 entry criteria and have the playing strength to compete without depleting existing clubs . “All the club officials should all be congratulated on their proposals,” Mr Lynch said “But it’s now up to potential rugby league players to get behind their home clubs.” The Group 16 General Committee will make its final decision of these clubs inclusion at a meeting on November 25, meanwhile any aspiring young rugby league players are invited to register for the next High Performance Camp this Sunday in Bega.

Blue heelers stable expands After a cracker of a 2015 season kicking off their return to the Group 16 competition, the Bombala Blue Heelers and High Heelers are eagerly looking ahead to next year. With outstanding support being received from the community, the local Rugby League Club is very excited to be considering fielding three teams next year; First Grade, Ladies League Tag and Reserve Grade sides. While the Firsts and the Ladies were keenly cheered on this year, the Reserves would be a new addition to next season’s line up, and already many keen players have indicated their interest. The more the merrier of course, and all of those who are interested in playing in any of the Blue Heeler or High Heeler sides are now being encouraged to get their names down or find out more through Colin Ryan on 0427 584 246. Alternatively they can make sure

they come along to the Bombala District Blue Heelers RLFC Bonding Session to be held on December 6 this year. To kick start the 2016 season the club is inviting all past and new players that are interested in playing for the Bombala club to come to the casual get together from 12.30pm at Apex Park. All are invited to bring their family for a relaxing Sunday afternoon at the park, with food and refreshments supplied - just bring yourself, your family and a chair! Meanwhile, representatives of the Blue Heelers RLFC attended the Group 16 AGM in Bega last weekend, learning that three new teams are looking to get involved the 2016 season. If the Tathra Sea Eagles, Mogo Warriors and Cobargo/Bermagui Eels can meet the criteria by November 25 this year, the Group 16 Competition will certainly be expanded next year.

Athletes stride out on Cooma’s first Saturday morning ever An influx of new athletes boosting numbers tomore than 60 on the open day of the season, gave the new timing a solid work out on the track. These gates are far superior to the ones lost in a fire in 2012. The club welcomes all the new athletes to our centre and thank them for giving athletics ago. We also welcome all our other athletes back for another exciting season. It was fantastic to see so many new faces motoring down the 100 metres straight towards the timing gates, and learning new skills in the field events and meeting all the other athletes. Records tumble in throws events; U/14 Girls javelin record was set by Brenna Clayton at 19.79m. A weight change in this event from 600 gms back to 400 gms to bring U/14 in line with the changes that I.A.A.F. have introduce for the U/15- U/18 women’s javelin (500 gms).

Cian Thornton U/8 showed he has a fair bit of pace in the 70m with 11.80 sec. 7. Ruby Mould paced herself well over the 400m with the fastest run over this distance on the day, recording 1:10.19 sec (94%). 8. Cameron Taylor U/8 boy was just 2.3m behind Cian when he crossed the line in 12.19 sec (92%). 9. Lucy Kamenz had great leg speed over the ground as she clocked 7.99 sec for the U/13 Girls 50m (92%). 10. Maria Tarasyuk U/13 girl in her 100m push Nick Zusak (U/14 Boy) all the way and posted 14.57 sec (92%). There were three other athletes whose performances put them into the 90% bracket: Michael Pevere (U/9) 50m 8.98 sec (91%), Lucy Thornton (U/12) 50m in 8.15 sec (91%) and Ruby Mould (U/13) 50m 8.09 sec (91%). Top Ten Field Performances 1. U/9 Joshua Southam tops the list with first and second best performances on the day with massive throw of the club out to 20.20m (less than 1.5m behind the record on his first attempt at this event (94%). 2. Again Joshua leapt to impressive height in the high jump to be 10cms behind the record (92%). 3. Hugo Steiner (U/13) is creeping closer to the triple jump record with PB performance of 9.04m (92%), this jump will encourage him to reach 10m this season and smash the record that’s been standing for more than 22 years. 4. Louie Mould (U/11) has some spring in his legs in clearing 1.29m (91%). This could see him in line to break one of the oldest records in our centre, which stands at 1.42m. 5. Jordan Davis (U/13) posted a PB in the triple jump just 10 cms behind Hugo to record 8.94m (91%). 6. Michael Pevere (U/9) is starting to leap higher this season in high jump with 1.05m leap (88%). 7. Kate Stanger (U/9) at her début at club throwing has clicked onto how to heave it. Her effort put her in range of claiming the record as the season unfolds. This week Kate threw 11.40m (87%) with the record just at 13.05m. 8. Max Boole (U/9) also has grasped the action of throwing the club and hurled it out to 18.71m (87%). 9. U/14 Maria Tarasyuk and Brenna Clayton battled out the high jump with Maria clearing 1.30m (86%). 10. Brenna Clayton unable to clear the 1.30m on the last jump but cleared 1.25m (82%). Our hurdles kick off next Saturday.

Cooma rifle club Last Saturday morning seven members turned up to shoot from 500yards, of whom four completed the course and others ran the event, marking targets and scoring. Damien Doyle won the day with 98.6 including a second stage possible, followed by Brent Cain with 96.11, Tom Reed with 89.2 and new shooters Jake Ross with 78.1.

With handicaps Damien 100 led Brent 98 and Tom 95. Recently Damien went to Sydney for the 2015 NSW Queen’s Shoot, dropping eight points but coming 44th due to the high standard of the state’s best A graders. We had our range inspection last week with the inspectors picking their way from one end to the other criticising almost

everything but leaving the range open while requiring a lot of things done. The range is no longer available for shooting on metallic targets and, for the time being unless we can comply with some special conditions, also closed to black powder shooters. Next week we will be shooting from 300 yards, starting at 9.30am.

Scene set for club triples final

Oh ah, Glenn McGrath

Australian cricketing legend Glenn McGrath swung by Nijong Oval on his way to the NSW Weeds Conference dinner last Wednesday. Mr McGrath came along for the final junior cricket registration day to encourage kids to sign up to the sport. Growing up in the regional town of Narromine, west of Dubbo, Mr McGrath said that team sports like cricket play a very important role in the community. Mr McGrath took the time to answer some questions from the kids and to also sign some autographs and take some photos. Giving some important advice, Mr McGrath told the kids and their parents that there were four main

things that led to his success as a fast bowler for the Australian cricket team. The first is self belief. “When I was younger I was told that I couldn’t bowl, but I believed that I could and I held onto that until I made it happen,” he said, “Secondly, you have to be prepared to work hard and keep practising.” The third key thing was always looking to improve and finally, to have fun. “This is the most important one,” said Mr McGrath, “If you always have a good time and stay passionate, you can’t help but be successful in whatever it is you are doing.”

First swim trials for the season The Cooma Swimming Club held its first time trials for the 2015/2016 season last Wednesday. An excellent first night roll up of forty seven swimmers took to the water in freestyle, backstroke and breaststroke. The Club welcomes new swimmers Charlie and Darcy Paul, Paloma and Suki Blyth, Lachlan and Sienna Sky, Tom Rudd, Cassidy Cook, Maddison Boucher, Keira Newson, Esther Perea, Callie Alcock, Chloe Sidery and Anna Behr. This week’s swims are freestyle, breaststroke and butterfly. Results Freestyle C Grade – Most Improved Esther Robinson (15 secs) There were no other improvers as most of this grade were having their first swim but Charlie Paul, Tom Rudd, Cassidy Cook, Paloma and Suki Blyth swam below the B grade qualifying time and if they do so again this week they will move up a grade. Great effort by all the swimmers. Freestyle B Grade – Anna Berh and Lachlan Sky had the fastest times and are also looking at moving up a grade after next week. Most improved was Georgina Rumball (nine seconds). Other improvers were Liam and Callum Davis, Rhys and Amelia Cleverley, Clara Thornton, Georgia and Brianna Nowland, Imogen Bateman, Tomas Carton, Shelley Kleven, Lilly Janota and Ellanor Boucher. Freestyle A Grade – Noah Saddler, Maai Johnson and Ella Davis had strong first up swims recording the fastest times Most Improved Belle Adams (eight seconds).

Most Improved Jonah Perea (three seconds) Improved Bentley Walker-Broose.

The second last round of Bill Elder Shield last Wednesday produced some close results and some very one-sided results. Judy Locker, Denis Steinfort and Renate Winckel were close all the way against Mary Philips, Mario Frezza and Bill McDonald and just got home 16/15. Bob Douglass, Max Butler and Mick Mayhew v Graham Henderson, Sergio Roncelli and Ron Wainwright was another close one with Mick’s team getting the points 18/15. At the other end of the scale Max Povey and Paul Cannell were 24/13 winners over Mary Boller and Ron Gammon. Jack Sajina, Ken Rees and Geoff Venables were too good for Innes Rees, Mike Mannile and Kevin Jackson, 29/13. Ken has the bragging rights for this week. With one round to go in November the following are the top contenders to be named on the Shield for 2015. Renate Winckel 13 +28, Paul Cannell 11 + 27,Geoff Venables 11 + 19, Judy Locker 11 + 16, Max Povey 10 + 25, Bob Douglas 10 + 24 Mick Mayhew 10 + 8, Ken Rees 10 – 5 ½, Olga Jebbink 9 +25 and Mario Frezza 9 – 17. Social bowls on Saturday was enjoyed by 16 players with some close matches and one not so close. Max Butler, Steve Seears and Denis Steinfort had a handy 19/10 lead over Graham Henderson, Wendy King and Mike Mannile and managed to hold off a late challenge to win 20/16. Sergio Roncelli, Daphne Buckley and Peter Marsicano trailed Dawn Russell, Renate Winckel and Geoff Venables 3/10 before getting the range and went on to win 16/14. Olga Jebbink and Ignazio Mondello were too consistent for Don Jarvis and Mario Frezza, allowing them only nine scoring ends to win 35/16. The Club Triples started on Saturday with two preliminary matches. Ross Russell, Wayne Lodge and Mel Storta kept Ron Wainwright, Brian Seears and Paul Cannell on four for seven ends whilst they advanced to lead 15/4. Four shots on end 20 to Mel’s team followed by five on 22 put an end to any hope Paul’s team had of pulling off a miracle. The final winning score for Mel and friends 28/14 put them into Sunday’s Quarter finals. It was a similar story for the other Triples match. Peter Caldwell, Terry George and Mark Buckley were much too good for Steve Lapham, Wayne Flynn and Richard Nichols when they took an 18/1 lead after just nine ends and went on to win 33/16 which also put them into Sunday’s Quarter Finals. In the first quarter final match on Sunday morning Peter Caldwell, Terry George and Mark Buckley won four of the first 10 ends against Denis Steinfort, John Barnes and John

Schoon to their opponents six but were 7/7 on the scoreboard. Mark’s team then put the foot down and scored 17 shots to four to win a spot in the semi, 24/11. Jack Sajina, Geoff Venables and Kim Weston made a good start against Skip Hamilton, Mick Mayhew and Don Jarvis to lead 20/4 on 14. Don and Co outscored the opposition 12 shots to six in the run home but went down 16/26. Ross Russell, Wayne Lodge and Mel Storta carried on their good form from Saturday against Steve Seears, Tom Reed and Colin Roberson when they established a 10/4 lead after eight ends. From that point to the end it was a

real battle, with Ross, Wayne and Mel getting home 20/17. The match of the day would have to be Bob Douglass, Ken Rees and Mike Mannile v Mario Frezza, Peter Marsicano and Ignazio Mondello. The scores were level on six occasions and the biggest margin was four shots in favour of Ignazio’s team on end 10. Bob, Ken and Mike eventually won 21/20. So the scene was set for the afternoon’s semi-finals. Peter Caldwell, Terry George and Mark Buckley had to produce some fine shots to stay with Jack Sajina, Geoff Venables and Kim Weston when the latter team scored four shots on 15 to lead 14/12. Eleven shots over the next three ends to Mark’s team proved the turning point with them going on to win 27/18. In the other semi-final, Bob Douglass, Ken Rees and Mike Mannile made a remarkable start against Ross Russell, Wayne Lodge and Mel Storta when they shot out to lead 17/6 on 16 and kept their nerve when they dropped five shots on 17 and a further five on 24 but had enough in the tank to be to run out winners 24/19 and move into the final against Peter Caldwell, Terry George and Mark Buckley to be played next Saturday commencing at 1pm The team to play Adaminaby at Cooma on October 31 in Monaro Clubs Challenge is; Pairs P.Marsicano and W.Lodge, Triples J.Barnes, T.George and M.Buckley, Fours M.Frezza, C.Roberson, G.D’Amico and G.Venables Don’t forget the District Fundraising Day at Cooma Club next Sunday October 25.

Physio bike fitting service comes to the Snowy Mountains All of Snowy Mountains’ physiotherapists have specialised training in areas of greatest interest to them, and all regularly attend courses to keep up-todate with the latest techniques and the most useful technology. This ensures the best advice; the most effective treatment can be given. One of those specific areas that Snowy Mountains Physiotherapy specialise in is bike fitting and are pleased to announce that on Saturday October 24th they will be holding a bike fitting day at their Cooma clinic located within the Bombala Street Surgery. Physiotherapists Adam Woolacott and Edward Moore will be on hand to put the local cyclists through a comprehensive screening and fitting process to ensure they are performing at their best. “When you buy a bike from your bike shop, the size that is closest to your fit is recommended. However, it may still be far from a perfect fit because bikes are produced in standard frame sizes…and there is no such thing as a standard human being,” Adam explained. “We see many cyclists who complain of early fatigue, discomfort, tingling, stiffness or pain on the bike without realising their bike has not been correctly adjusted to their individual characteristics.” “Physiotherapists, with their advanced knowledge of physiology, biomechanics, motor control and injury management, are uniquely suited to address all the factors that may contribute to cyclists not feeling their best when riding.” “Not only can we adjust your bike to suit your specific body shape, but we can also adapt the bike to accommodate any of your not-so-perfect body parts. This is one of the advantages of having your bike fitted by a trained physiotherapist,” Adam explained. “Many of our cyclists also leave with a specific exercise program to address strength or flexibility limitations. This helps prevent future injuries or pain on their bike.”

This specialist bike fitting program is a welcome addition to the other specialised services that are offered by Snowy Mountains Physiotherapy including hand therapy, women’s health, sports physiotherapy, post-surgery and post-injury rehabilitation, human movement, and occupational health and safety. “Those wanting more information on any of these services should check out our website, www. snowymountainsphysio.com, and those wanting to make an appointment for a bike fit on Saturday 24th October can call us on 6452 4203, places are limited so best to get in early so you don’t miss out” Adam suggested.

Rep cricket season begins

Cricket season is underway on the Monaro, with Sunday seeing the first of the rep games played at Rotary Oval.

Coffeys major sponsor

Coffeys Hotel, Cooma, has become Monaro District Cricket Association’s major sponsor for 2015/16. Licensee Isobel Browne last week gave the association a cheque for $2000. It was accepted on behalf on the association by Ben Hearne. This cricket season is expected to be huge, with six senior teams, junior teams, primary school teams and representative teams.

Monaro cricket round one results Jindabyne v Coffeys Jindabyne won the toss and elected to bat first in a round one game with both sides missing a few stars. Jindy made a bright start with new opener Chris McLean making a patient 28. He was joined by Lucas Rixon (59) as they set about putting Jindabyne toward a handy total. Some lusty late hitting from Ben Hodgson (37) saw Jindy make a competitive 9/185. Locky Schofield 2/27 and Nathan Thompson 3/22 the pick of the Coffeys bowlers. In reply Coffeys got away to a poor start with Craig Dixon ripping through the top order with three quick wickets. Coffeys captain Nick Moon (43) joined in with Steve Summerville (39) to resurrect the innings and put on 88 for the fourth wicket before some late hitting from Steve Dunn got Coffeys agonisingly close. Three desperate runouts in the dying

overs saw Jindy hang on to win by 10 runs. Berridale V Dalgety Berridale won the toss and elected to bat M Bruce 62, A Bruce 20 odd, Jake Hedger two wickets. Berridale ended up 9/151. Dalgety got off to a start with Bailey Rogers scoring 52 and chef with 20 odd Dalgety got Berridale’s score in the 34 over with four down. Aussie v PVJ In a slow game where runs were very hard to score PVJ batted first and made it to 8/101. Stu wood taking 5/17 off 9. The chase was slow from the Aussie with regular wickets from some tight PVJ bowling, a patient knock of 55* from Harry Sindhu got them home. Special mention to Jimmy Hayden and Remy Oldrey both bowled absolutely superb today taking three wickets.

David Crawford makes it seven club championships Cooma Golf report by Terry Johnston Before we share the golf results with you we would like to pass onto the Devereux and Robinson families our deepest condolence for their recent family loss. Norm Devereux was a past club champion of Cooma Golf Club and Richard (Richie) Robinson raised two sons David and Adam who both are past club champions. Norm and Richie past away last week and will be sadly missed by their families and the community at large. We had a great week of golf at Cooma Golf Club the beautiful spring weather had it nice and warm and the golf out on the course was not as hot as the previous weekend but there was still some pretty good scores posted during the whole golfing week. Saturday October 17, we had over 40 players take to the course and played round three of the Club Championship for men in all three grades plus juniors. It was a very blustery day with some wind gusts getting up to around 40 and 50km per hour which made it tough going for all the players. The various winners of the day competition were Phil Patricks in A grade with a very honest nett 72 and the runner up was Col Langdon with a nett 73. B grade saw Steve Wheatley step into the winner’s circle with a nett 73 on a count back from Dave Douglass the runner up also with a nett 73, while in C grade it was great to see Kerry Blencowe back playing golf after an injury that sidelined him for around four months. In his first game back he went straight into the winners circle with a nett 72 for a fine win over Gordon Weston who had to settle for runner up this week with his nett 73. The long drives for the day went to Adam Robinson in A grade while B grade was taken out by Steve Wheatley and C grade went once again to the big hitting Steve Edgenton who also had a nett 81 on the day. The nearest the pin on the ninth hole went to Terry Johnston with a shot to around 70cm from the hole and then sank the putt for his birdie, on the 17th Cranky Frankie McKnight hit it to 650cm from the hole and missed a very tough putt for a birdie. The standings in the Club Championship after three rounds were David Crawford leading A grade with a four shot lead over David Robinson, in B grade Denis Minehan had a 12 shot lead on Richard Hanna and C grade there was a 12 shot lead going into the last round by Frank McKnight over Tony Monday while in the juniors Bailey Burke only has to finish round four to take it out. On Sunday October 18 there was a field of around 30 players took to the course for the final round, round four of the Club Championship and the scoring was not quite as hot as the previous day. The best scratch scores went to David Crawford with a par round 72 while Phil Patricks had a good round of seventy three. Now the day competition winners were Phil Patricks once again in A grade to finish off a good weekend for him with his great round on nett 67. In B grade Ray Bilbow had his first visit to the winners circle for some with a nett 72. While in C grade Wayne Flynn took the honours with a nett 73. The nearest the pin on the ninth hole went to Gary Batten with a fine shot 300cm from the hole and missed the putt for a birdie, while on the 17th hole David Crawford put in a nice shot to about two metres and unfortunately also missed his birdie putt. The Club Championships results are David Crawford who won his seventh Club Championship at the club with a gross score of 292 and congratulations must go to him for such a fine effort. The A grade scratch winner was David Robinson with 301, B grade went to Denis Minehan for the second year in a row with 350 while Frank McKnight took out the C grade championship with 384 and the champion junior was Bailey Burke. The handicap winners were Col Langdon in A grade with a nett 274, B grade was taken out by Jeff Burgess with a nett 300 (about his age) and C grade went to Tony Monday with a nett 325. Wednesday October 14 we had another good field of around 30 players take to the course on a beautiful morning for golf and they played a Single Stableford Medley event in three grades. The A grade winner was Kim Howard with 38 points, B grade went to Charlie Beaumont with the round of the day a super fine round of 43 points while the C grade winner for the second week in a row was Doug Parker with another marvellous

round of 40 points. The ball comp paid down to Bob Weston with 35 points who just pipped his wife Marilynne out on a count back (not your finest work Bob). It was a bit like the Doug Parker show today with him taking out C grade then almost acing the ninth hole with a shot to around 10cm to win that nearest the pin, followed up by sinking the birdie putt then on the 11th hole put in another good shot to take home that prize as well, ease up Doug and give all the others a chance. This coming weekend is a Single Stableford for the men on Saturday and the women are playing the Clifford Newbound Match Play while on Sunday there is a Single Stableford Medley scheduled for both men and women. Also the Coolamatong Open weekend is on for the men, Saturday is the 4BBB Championship and Sunday is the Open Championship, it is always a great weekend and the ladies put on a great feed so we hope to see you all at Coolamatong The next weekend is the big event for the year with the High Country Automotive Cooma Open for men being staged on Saturday and Sunday. Saturday is the Dalz Otto Wines Fourball Best Ball Championship which is a timesheet start with all the prizes being supply by Dalz Otto Fine Wines. On Sunday is the big one, the 2015 High Country Automotive Open Championship

played in three grades and also a veterans and junior division . On Sunday it is a Shot Gun start at 10am, check in is no later than 9.30am and at the end of the day the Cooma lady members are putting on lunch which is going to be great. There are still spots in the field for both Saturday and Sunday so come and get your name down. We are hoping the weather is good so we can expect a big field of players on both days of the Open Championship. See you on the course soon and remember a bad day on the golf course is better than a great day in the office, also any visitors to our region are always welcome to come and join us in our competitions or just for a social game of golf at Cooma Golf Club anytime they choose.
