MESSAGE FROM THE CEO We are truly thankful to all of you, our Members and Guests. Thank you for choosing to spend your time and money with us.
We are grateful for helping us to deliver on our purpose to improve the lives of members in our community. Thank-you for your patience and support as we all learn to adapt to ever changing rules. We understand the difficulties and inconvenience caused with all the changes and restrictions including a reduction in services, the introduction of masks and the mandated changes to our entry process which has been painful for all, particularly for those of you who don’t have a mobile phone. Despite the best laid plans for Christmas and the New Year, it was not to be this time. But we will keep planning until we can all celebrate together. Immediately on the horizon, is Lunar New Year which will be a great opportunity for people from all cultures to celebrate together at Mounties Group. We have been working hard to make this event bigger and better than normal to give you all a chance to bring in the Lunar New Year together.
In addition to this, we also have an exciting Membership promotion that gives members a chance to win a share of $121,900 in cash and prizes, including an Audi A3. During the month of March, we also plan to launch Major Fun at both Mounties and Harbord Diggers – Australia’s most exciting new kids play centres. These areas are designed to not only be fun but educational, and will include age specific play areas with soft play, multi-level obstacles, slides, interactive play elements, two designated party rooms, cafe seating area and the option to ‘Drop & Dine’ during select times. We have no doubt that Major Fun will become a favourite amongst Members, Guests and their little ones! Finally we are excited to announce we are one step closer to our proposed amalgamation with Halekulani Bowling Club and Wyong RSL – which are both situated on the Central Coast. We have provisional approval and expect to welcome these wonderful clubs, who are both rich in history and contribute so much to the Central Coast community, to join our Mounties Group family this March.

LIVE & LOCAL SPOTLIGHT D U A N & O N LY You may not be familiar with New Zealand born ‘Duan & Only’ but, take note. The Sydney based solo artist is making waves in the Australian music scene with his unique and soulful sound. Upon hearing the tracks ‘Addison Rd’ and ‘Gold & Honey’ it makes perfect sense that much of his inspiration is derived from Motown and Soul music. His sultry voice lends a modern R&B tone and makes it almost impossible to assign his music to a genre. Harbord Diggers had the pleasure to sit down and chat to Duan & Only. How did you start in the music industry? I moved to Manly late 2010 and was luckily enough to move in with a couple of local girls who introduced me to the owners of In Situ (Az & Sam). I started playing there once or twice a week and never looked back. Quit my job as an electrician and put all my focus into chasing gigs. Who inspired you to make music? I first started writing songs when I was listening to Silverchair around the age of 14 but I don't think I wrote anything decent until I'd left High School. I got into Jack Johnson and Ben Harper heavily in the early 2000's and started shaping songs around that kinda surf vibe, but it wasn't until around 2004 that I started listening to Kiwi bands 24
YOUR GUIDE - HARBORD DIGGERS
like The Blackseeds, KORA, Six60 and Fat Freddys Drop etc that I felt really comfortable with what I was writing. How do you feel COVID-19 has impacted the music industry? The Music Industry has been hugely affected by COVID-19 but, so have a lot of industries. For me personally, the financial loss was the biggest downside as I'm a full time working musician. The greatest positive (for me) that came out of COVID was 'Home Remedy'. I was living with my good mate in Freshwater when it all went down and we came up with the idea to live stream gigs from our apartment to ZOOM and
Facebook. This meant that people could join into our ZOOM meeting and be a part of a virtual audience while having some kind of interaction with friends and family during lockdown. We managed to work with a number of different sponsors/brands and even did virtual events for corporations, which was great for us being able to work from home and still earn money. Describe how your first performance went after lockdown? First performance was a mixed bag of emotions to be honest. It felt great to be performing again but the downside was the crowd had to be seated, which in
turn affects the vibe of the room and in some way my performance. What is it like performing at Harbord Diggers? I love the Diggers! It's a great venue for all ages and I always get great feedback from the patrons. What’s next for Duan & Only? It's still a really tricky time at the moment. Gigs are still being cancelled due to the effects of COVID and a lot of musicians are struggling both financially and mentally. I'll be looking to release new music soon, maybe an EP later in the year so it's back to the notebook for now!

Expecting a one-year-old to swim freestyle is about as realistic as asking her to drive your SUV down the road to buy the groceries. So why do countless experts insist that the best time to start swimming lessons is, as soon as possible? Laurie Lawrence has been teaching babies to swim for decades. He is a passionate advocate for getting babies in the water, but there was a time when Lawrence was a cynic. “I didn’t believe in baby teaching, then I had my own daughter and I started to investigate. But of course, Forbes (Carlile) had already started,” Lawrence told a Foxtel documentary on Australian Swimming. Lawrence visited the late swim coaching master Forbes Carlile at his home in 40
YOUR GUIDE - HARBORD DIGGERS
Sydney “one morning about five am there’s Laurie on the doorstep, he said I haven’t come to see your swimmers, I’ve come to see your babies,” Carlile recalled years later. “Once I saw it, I couldn’t believe it. It was amazing,” Lawrence added. Forbes and Ursula Carlile pioneered baby teaching in Australia, opening Sydney’s first indoor learn to swim centre. The company they founded, Carlile Swimming, is now regarded as one of the world’s leading swim schools. At Carlile, they run Waterbabies classes from three months of age. “By that stage their immune systems are developing, they are bonded with you and they love the buoyancy of the water,” said Carlile director and former Australian champion Richard Cahalan.
Richard Cahalan (right) teaching at Freshwater with his son Jesse
“It’s a perfect time for parents to help them explore and have fun, but beyond that, babies and young children learn important water safety skills. Everyone should learn to swim well and there is no doubt that starting young is ideal,” Cahalan added. Australia’s Griffith University conducted a ground-breaking four-year study on the benefits of swimming young. The study found children who attended regular swimming lessons improved physical, emotional, social and cognitive skills. In fact, compared to the non-swimming population, the 3 to 5 years olds in the study were: •
11 months ahead in verbal skills
•
6 months ahead in mathematic skills
•
2 months ahead in literacy skills
•
17 months ahead in story recall
•
20 months ahead in understanding directions
Mr Cahalan, stresses that finding the right pool and teaching program is a must. “The pool itself has to be warm, both in and out of the water. You also want a facility with quality filtration and water treatment, that ensures the highest level of hygiene,” he says. Finding the right facility is one thing, finding the right approach to teaching children to swim well is another. To book swimming lessons at Carlile Swimming call 02 9137 4545.

NORTHERN BEACHES BUSINESS AWARDS - YOUTH AWARD - TIANA LONG We could not be prouder of Tiana for winning the Northern Beaches Business Youth Award in December 2020. Tiana joined Beaches Baby in September 2019, not long after we opened our doors and she has been an integral part of our business ever since. So much wiser than her 17 years, she has been involved in the business with such enthusiasm and a hands on approach from day one and she has been fantastic at making instrumental changes in our retail store ever since. Her product knowledge, creative eye and willingness to do whatever I throw at her has been a phenomenal help to me. She is full of great ideas and she is a valued and trusted member of our team. When Covid-19 hit, we quickly had to pivot the business and take our products online. A quick crash course in website development and Tiana took on the responsibility for getting everything up onto the website and doing the quick turnaround, allowing us to keep providing a service to you in that crazy time. My heart nearly burst watching her win this award and I am thrilled that she will have 42

PRE AND POST N ATA L P H Y S I O L E D R E F O R M E R P I L AT E S Your Body, Your Way Wouldn’t it be great if our bodies bounced straight back after having a bub? Sometimes though, life doesn’t work out exactly the way we plan. That’s why it’s our vision to provide the support needed through that tricky period and get you back into a healthy exercise routine. Designed and individualised by Claire Mills (Physiotherapist with a Special Interest in Women’s Health) our small group classes will help expecting or new mums to get into safe and regular exercise.

YOUR GUIDE - HARBORD DIGGERS
Imagine an environment where you are supported all the way in your pre and post-natal journey. Where you build confidence, have fun and focus on you (for 45 minutes, at least!). We are sick and tired of women not getting the support that they need – not getting the right individualised care and guidance, and instead are put on ‘off the shelf’ post natal programs when their bodies are really craving. Our classes are designed to be a small group – so you’ll always get 1:1 time with our Physio. Rebound Health will be offering complimentary assessment for new mums entering into classes. Contact us on 02 9907 6023 or admin@reboundhealth.com.au to find out more.
