By SHARON BONTHUYS AN historic Narromine building known as the Girl Guides Hall suffered extensive damage when fire ripped through it at dawn on Sunday, February 20. The back half of the wooden building located on the corner of Meringo Street and Treseder Lane was completely destroyed in the blaze, which is believed to have started around 5am. The building was vacant at the time and had not been used for several years. Initial reports to fi re authorities had suggested the location was the Narromine High School, which is directly opposite the Girl Guides Hall. Several emergency services units responded, with two units from Fire and Rescue NSW Narromine and Trangie and two tankers from Rural Fire Service Narromine on the scene as well as a Hazmat van from Dubbo. Essential Energy and NSW Ambulance also attended the scene. Additional Fire and Rescue resources from Dubbo were called off. Strong winds pushed embers from the fire onto neighbouring houses and a small grass fire

Seven people were evacuated from the neighbouring properties as a precaution and water was sprayed onto the houses to extinguish any embers. No further fires resulted and no injuries were reported. The fire was extinguished by 7am.
The cause of the fire remains unknown and police are investigating. The World War II-era wooden building had been moved into Narromine after the war ended, sources told the Narromine Star. Although known as the Girl Guides Hall, it had not been used for Girl Guide activity for a very long time.
A spokesperson for Girl Guides NSW, ACT & NT said the guiding movement has not been active in Narromine for many years and that the property was relinquished to the NSW Government in about 2005. A spokesperson from the Department of Planning and Environment, the department responsible for the building, told the Narromine Star that the building was last used in 2016 by a religious organisation and had been disused for some time. “[While] the front part of the hall is still standing, it suffered extensive smoke and water damage and the ceiling has collapsed. The department has been advised that the building should be demolished for safety reasons,” the spokesperson said. As a safety measure, the Department will install exclusion fencing around the site as a matter of priority. The site will also be inspected for any hazardous material and made safe, the spokesperson said. No timeframe has been provided for the demolition and the future use of the site is yet to be determined. More photos: page 7
Harvest breaks another record in Narromine shire By SHARON BONTHUYS

GRAINCORP has reported another record-breaking year at its Narromine site, eclipsing last year’s record tonnage by an additional 9000 tonnes. A company spokesperson told the Narromine Star that it had been a very big harvest for local growers and the GrainCorp site, despite the long timeframe and challeng-
ing conditions. “Last season (2020-21 season), the Narromine site received 124,000 tonnes of grain. This harvest (2021-22 season) it received over 133,000 tonnes of grain, resulting in a site record,” the spokesperson said. “What’s more, last season's tonnages were received in a time period averaging four weeks. This harvest was drawn out to over 14 weeks.”
The spokesperson said that despite the widespread delays caused by wet weather, the site team worked incredibly hard to deliver for local growers. “The priority now is outloading by road and rail as much of the new season crop as possible, and repositioning grain for maximum utilisation of equipment, bunkers and storages on site.”

Narromine FOUNDATION SUPPORTERS A big thank-you to these businesses for their up-front support, helping to bring local news back to the Narromine Shire.
Narromine United Services Memorial Club Ltd
Men’s shed roaring into the new year By SHARON BONTHUYS DRIVING down Dandaloo Street at Narromine, you might miss the unassuming building that has housed the local men’s shed for almost seven years. Situated right next door to the United Services Memorial Club, the men’s shed will celebrate its seventh anniversary in the converted service station on March 3, 2022. The shed provides a place for local men to stay connected, meet with friends, socialise over smoko, fi x things – and sometimes each other – all while helping the local community through the proceeds of their activities selling preloved furniture and bric-a-brac. The Narromine Star visited the men’s shed this week and was taken on a tour of the complex by one of its longest-serving members, Roger Blackman. Mr Blackman and friend Keith Richardson joined the Men’s Shed when it fi rst formed on June 29, 2009 and are founding members. It’s a date Mr Blackman remembers well. “We started in the Scout Hall
and stayed there until we grew too big for it. Then we moved here,” he said, pointing to the meeting notice from May 7, 2009 seeking interested participants for the group which is proudly displayed in the smoko room. Mr Blackman is in charge of the crockery section of the men’s shed which displays an array of crockery, cups, glassware and other items. “We aim to help people get started. People coming to town who don’t have much, for example. People who are vulnerable,” Mr Blackman said. The shed also has an extensive range of furniture available. With a total membership numbering more than 40, 14 of the shed members are aged over 80, including Mr Blackman and Mr Richardson. The two oldest members are aged 92. Supervisor Ivan L Hales said the men’s shed welcomes donations of suitable furniture and other items, which are then onsold to the community at low cost. He asked the community not to donate items destined for “the tip”, as removing them only burdened the elderly participants. “Bulky items are hard for our older members to handle,” Mr Hales said. “Please call us if you would like to donate items and we can go from there.” Funds raised from the sale of shed items are returned to the community. For all that the men’s shed gives to the community, it is a shame that some community members feel the need to steal from it. In late 2021, thieves stole a shade sail covering the back lot of the Men’s shed which provided much needed shelter from the afternoon sun. Their work carries on, regardless. Roger Blackman in his section of the men’s shed.

Journalist Brooke Chandler bids community farewell... for now By BROOKE CHANDLER
AS of Friday February 25, I will be returning to Charles Sturt University’s Bathurst campus to complete the fi nal year of my Bachelor of Communications (Journalism). This will mean my name will no longer be a frequent byline in each week’s edition of the Narromine Star. Instead, you will hear from my wonderful colleague, Sharon Bonthuys, who – as I’m sure you have seen – has already proven tremendous passion and commitment to the Narromine Star. Although I am excited to complete my degree in a (hopefully) COVID-19 free world, I am extremely sad to hang up my Narromine Star lanyard and camera. When campus closed during last year’s lockdown and I returned to my hometown
of Dubbo, I never anticipated the opportunity that was awaiting me. I am eternally grateful to superstar editor, Lucie Peart, who approached me for the role. Trusting me more than I trusted myself, Lucie allowed me to plan, source, write and create 24 pages of weekly content. Sure it was stressful at the best of times, but it was also one of the most rewarding experiences. I believe the learnings, and not to mention the stories, I have been exposed to will stick with me for the rest of my working career. At 20 years old, my whole life thus far has been spent living in regional NSW. And as a budding journalist, witnessing the permanent closure of multiple newspaper and media outlets around the regions has been nothing more than heartwrenching.
There is plenty happening in our neck of the woods and it is often overlooked. I see that the enthusiasm of our readers proves the importance of regional and, particularly, print journalism. I must stress that although I am moving more than 200 kilometres away, this is a ‘see you later’ moment rather than a goodbye. During university breaks and holidays, I hope to get amongst the community happenings and strengthen, not only my growing skills as a journalist, but industry networks as well. This year I aim to decide where I want to live and work post graduation. However, please know that I do have future plans to return and give back to the central west community that has gifted me so much. Until next time, thank you!

Red Cross demonstrates resilience in 2022 By SHARON BONTHUYS ZONE 23 representative Sue Strahorn visited the Narromine Red Cross volunteers on February 18 for their fi rst meeting of the year. Ms Strahorn, who lives on a property at Tomingley, joined the Red Cross in 2011 and has just received her long service badge. A member and secretary of the Peak Hill Red Cross branch, full-time volunteer Ms Stahorn attends branch annual general meetings (AGMs) and or other special meetings in zone 23 as part of her role. “It was Anne McCrae’s fi rst meeting as the newly elected president [at Narromine]. She was elected at the AGM last October, and I wanted to be here for this,” said Ms Strahorn. Twelve people attended the Narromine branch meeting, including three new members. The Narromine Star asked Ms Strahorn about the challenges for the Red Cross as an organisation in 2022.
“Red Cross is trying to raise awareness of the emergency services and resilience as a result of the pandemic and the bushfi res in particular,” Ms Strahorn said. The meeting was also attended by drought and resilience advocate Kerry Edwards, who made a presentation to the group about community resilience teams. Resilience in the Red Cross organisation has been demonstrated by the ongoing provision of valuable community programs despite the impact of COVID, Ms Strahorn said. One of these is the telecross telephony program. “The telecross program enables elderly people who live alone to receive a telephone call every day,” said Ms Strahorn. “This helps keep people connected. “We’ve had the bushfi res, COVID, the floods, years and years of drought before all that. COVID has changed the way people have worked, and people have had to work from home which has disjointed the community again.
“This has made it difficult for clubs and branches of Red Cross to make contact with the membership teams, or deal with queries or problems to resolve,” Ms Strahorn said. “The real challenge [for Red Cross] is getting people, new volunteers, new members, to build these teams. There are people who make a regular fi nancial donation to the organisation but you still need to have volunteers and active members in local branches,” Ms Strahorn said. She suggested that one of the challenges of attracting younger volunteers in small communities comes from the high proportion of young people who move away when they fi nish school. Ms Strahorn herself began volunteering after she retired from work. “I couldn’t stay at home, I had to do something. I live on a farm and it’s very quiet when you’re the only woman there. It has really changed my life in a very positive way.” Narromine branch member Gay Richardson, 87, who

PHOTO: NARROMINE STAR. joined Red Cross in 1982, suggested that some new retirees struggle with the idea of volunteering at that stage in their lives. “They can go have coffee, play sport, or do what they want to do,” Ms Richardson said. “It can be a challenge for some people.” The Narromine branch’s oldest member is 91-yearold Coral Jackson, who knits Trauma Teddies for the Red Cross, Ms Richardson said. Red Cross Calling is the organisation’s big fundraising event which will take place
next month. No longer a doorknock event due to security concerns for collectors, the annual fundraiser will be held in Narromine through a series of raffles sold locally. Narromine Red Cross will repeat this activity in October. Another event coming up for the branch includes a SoupDamper-Slice Day. “You learn new skills when you volunteer, and you meet wonderful people,” Ms Stahorn. “I never would have met so many wonderful people if I had never joined Red Cross.”

Narromine show will return in 2022 IF you were hanging out for the return of the Narromine Show, you won’t have to wait much longer. A spokesperson for the Narromine Agricultural Show Society has confi rmed that the committee “is very positive and excited to be working towards a bigger and brighter show in 2022”. The committee is unable to comment further at this stage about what may be planned for this year’s show, but it is likely the event may be staged mid-year. Last year’s event planned for early September 2021 had to be cancelled in August due to the impacts of COVID across NSW. In December 2021, Member for the Dubbo electorate Dugald Saunders said that the NSW Government’s $5 million Country Shows Support Package was available to provide organising bodies with funding for a range of reasons to help get shows running again. This includes making sure shows are COVID-safe, subsidising stall fees, equipment hire, upgrading facilities or engaging local artists or musicians. “Country shows are the heartbeat of our communities. After years of drought, COVID and now flooding, the social connection these events provide is more important than ever,” Mr Saunders said. The Narromine Star will provide a further update when information becomes available.
Zoe joins the Narromine Star in new graphic design role HI, I’m Zoe Rendall. I’m the new designer for the Narromine Star. I’ve lived in Narromine since January 2021. I used to live in Cobar all my life before I moved here. I’m an artist, and I have been drawing for the past eight years. I usually create Japanese animation style art for many shows and video games. I took visual arts all throughout high school and sold my major Higher School Certificate (HSC) body of work. It was a long rice paper scroll, about five metres long, depicting old original Japanese artworks remade into a more modern cartoon style. It was quite a challenge to make as I used new materials I had never used before, but my wonderful art teacher gave me the guidance I needed to fi nish my year long HSC artwork. She also pushed me to create better art, and I wouldn’t have been as happy with my art now if it weren’t for her. I like to collect and play video games in my spare time, as it is what inspired me to create art in my early childhood. One of my favourite series is Pokémon. I played HeartGold and
Zoe Rendall joins the Narromine Star. PHOTO: NARROMINE STAR. SoulSilver when I was only nine-years-old. For many years I couldn’t decide which Pokémon was my favourite, but now after buying too many items depicting it, I can safely say that Snorlax is my favourite.
I’ve been posting my art online for years, and have made some friends along the way. I would like to be able to show my art more offline, but most of my work is digital and not on traditional materials that I could display.
If you are interested in seeing my art that I work on, I mostly post to Instagram under the name @cartoonfansart, though searching up CartoonFansArt or TheCartoonFan on Google should help you fi nd me anywhere.

ANNA ROBINSON was on a family trip to Lightning Ridge when she realised she had unexpectedly gone into labour – four weeks early. The out-of-the-blue delivery was completely unplanned, with Ms Robinson worried most about giving birth in a town with no maternity ward. Her relief at learning she would be taken to Dubbo Hospital was short-lived when her fear of flying kicked in. A whirlwind panic ensued, however the attentive care of the Royal Flying Doctor Ser-
vice (RFDS) helped the experience go smoothly. With the help of the dedicated and experienced RFDS (South Eastern Section) crew, Anna was quickly reassured when introduced to flight nurse Kerry Lyn Ukena. “I told Kerry I had a fear of flying and she was fantastic,” Ms Robinson said. “She worked to reassure me. I was introduced to the rest of the team and they got me in the plane. “It was strange being in labour in the air but Kerry was so lovely.” In December 2021, Anna
and her family, including new son Zidan, visited Dubbo’s Flying Doctor base to see Ms Ukena and thank her and the RFDS team for their assistance. “It was so touching that Anna tracked me down,” Ms Ukena. “One of the unfortunate parts about our job is once you get the person on the ground and they’re put into a transport vehicle, we don’t see them again and often we don’t hear what happens. “To get to hold Zidan and hear that everything went well for Anna and her family was fantastic.”

Field day showcases dung beetles and carbon farming By SHARON BONTHUYS ALMOST 30 landholders attended the carbon farming and dung beetle field day staged in the Narromine Shire on February 16. Held at Willydah, the 1600-hectare property of Roz and Bruce Maynard midway between Trangie and Narromine, it was the second of three field days on these topics in the central west. Organised by Central West Local Land Services (LLS) in conjunction with Landcare NSW, the event attracted attendees from as far away as Forbes and Yeoval. Speakers at the event included dung beetle expert Dr Russell Barrow from the Graham Centre for Agricultural Innovation, Charles Sturt University Wagga Wagga, and Kieren Whittock from AgriProve, facilitators of soil carbon projects. Dr Barrow gave an in-depth presentation on dung beetles in the morning, which he said the industry calls ‘ecosystem engineers’ for the valuable work they do in the environment. These “beetles with benefits” have many species and may be active in different locations at different times of the year. Attendees learned how to identify different species, and looked more closely at the important role dung beetles play in the environment. By making holes in the soil, dung beetles make infi ltration points for water to enter the ground and bring nutrients to the surface. These natural recyclers further help with soil fertility by disposing of dung and contribute to herd health by improving grazing environments. “Dung beetles are a great biological introduction. They shred the dung pats and stop fl ies from breeding in them,” station host Bruce Maynard told the Narromine Star. All attendees had some experience working with dung beetles on their land and were further educated on how to
provide the best environments for the beetles to do their work. “How clever are dung beetles? I’ve learnt more today about how to assist them to do their job on my land,” said John Kerin, who travelled from Yeoval for the field day. Mr Kerin said he enjoyed the thorough presentation on dung beetles and was looking forward to the afternoon session on carbon farming. Attendees toured an adjacent paddock where Dr Barrow and colleague Graeme Heath pulled apart fresh dung pats showing several species of dung beetles had moved in and were hard at work. Some landholders followed their lead, donning latex gloves and exploring the world of the dung beetles for themselves. “This [dung pat] is less than 24 hours old and look at what’s happening inside,” Dr Barrow said, indicating that the tiny ecosystem engineers happily co-exist with other dung beetle species in their environment and work together. Attendees also enjoyed the bush food samples provided by LLS staffer Bek Shepherd, who said she aims to put together a guide for bush foods from an agricultural perspective. In the afternoon, Kieren Whittock spoke about soil carbon farming, something that was also of great interest to the attendees. His company works with landholders to improve productivity through implementing management practices to build soil carbon and sell carbon credits. “Soil carbon improves water holding capacity and infi ltration, nutrient availability and soil biology,” according to the company’s website. “I’m interested in how carbon cycling works,” said Narromine landholder Robert Webb, who also enjoyed the field day. “The whole Earth is a natural recycling process. It only has trouble with man-made things. The natural world has stood the test of time. Humans need to work skilfully with it,” Mr Webb said.

Regional, State & National news
Media reform promises robust local media A LONG overdue media reform package including funding for regional journalists has been announced by the federal government. Minister for communications, urban infrastructure, cities and the arts, Paul Fletcher said the new Media Policy Statement consisted of a number of measures that would benefit local communities like those in the Narromine shire. “This statement follows an extensive consultation process through the Media Reform Green Paper process which saw a range of feedback delivered to the Australian government, including from regional stakeholders, culminating in the policy announcement,” minister Fletcher said. “Key measures include support for local broadcasters through the extension of transitional support for eligible regional commercial broadcasters and the announcement of a new $10 million Journalist Fund that will help regional publications recruit new journalists. “Importantly we’re also taking action to ensure residents have access to high quality local content and regional coverage. This includes understanding how streaming services are investing in local content and ensuring that they continue to do so through the Streaming Services Investment and Reporting Scheme, as well as asking the ABC to report on its regional footprint. “A strong media sector is important for so many regional communities, including in the Parkes electorate, and we are taking action to ensure they are served well.” Member for Parkes Mark Coulton welcomed the reform package and looks forward to seeing how local communities could take advantage. “The Parkes electorate is home to some wonderful and dedicated local

PHOTO: SUPPLIED. news outlets, which play a crucial role in their respective communities,” Mr Coulton said. “The Journalist Fund is an excellent opportunity for local news outlets to secure new talent, upskill existing talent, and to ensure local stories are captured and reported on. “Likewise, there are potential opportunities there for the electorate if streaming services are developing new content; we have a number of great locations available, along with quality businesses who can provide support, and I am keen to see our communities take advantage of those opportunities should they arise. “Local media is essential for social cohesion, keeping people informed, and ensuring our democracy remains robust. This reform package provides a number of opportunities to ensure that happens and I welcome the federal government’s announcement,” Mr Coulton said. The government will continue to consult with industry and communities on a number of measures, including the Streaming Services Investment and Reporting Scheme, with a Discussion
Paper released for comment on the Scheme. President of Country Press NSW Inc and general manager of the Narromine Star, Lucie Peart, said the reinstatement of funding for trainee journalists is a welcome outcome. "Country Press Australia, our peak body, has been calling for cadetship or trainee journalist funding to be reinstated, after it was abandoned in the reshuffle of the Public Interest News Gathering (PING) funding in 2020. “Many regional news outlets are family-run and can't afford to take on extra staff, which also decreases opportunities for young journalists to come and train in the bush. “We know how important regional areas are as training grounds for journalists as they get to experience all facets of the job, instead of being just focused on one area or one skill. This new funding will allow regional newspapers to grow their staff which in turn will give readers extra content. “We welcome the announcement of this funding and we are also looking forward to the outcomes of the parliamentary inquiry into regional news,” Ms Peart said.
Help for farmers doing it tough AUSTRALIAN farmers are known for being resilient and resourceful, but the vagaries of weather and ever-fluctuating prices can bring even the toughest to their knees. A website launched in 2018 to give farmers practical strategies to cope with factors beyond their control has proved so successful with rural communities that it has now been expanded. With further input from farmers and generous funding from multiple philanthropic organisations, ifarmwell has updated its content and features and broadened its reach and expertise. It has employed a psychologist and marketing officer to increase awareness and deliver more faceto-face training to improve wellbeing in rural areas. The development of the farmer-focused online toolkit has been led by Dr Kate Gunn from the University of South Australia, in conjunction with behavioural change and rural health experts from the University of Adelaide, University of Melbourne, the National Centre for Farmer Health and farmers from across Australia. Clinical psychologist and Senior Research Fellow at UniSA, Dr Kate Gunn, says the input from farmers to ensure that it meets their needs and speaks their language is invaluable. “While farmers are generally very good problem solvers, much of their stress is caused by things beyond their control, such as the weather and commodity prices – things they just can’t fi x,” Dr Gunn said. “The ifarmwell website gives farmers practical strategies to help them cope effectively with the things they can’t fi x and to get the most out of life, regardless of the circumstances they face. It also provides feedback on their wellbeing, including when to seek professional help and how to access it.” sed on 10 years’ ifarmwell is based put from hunresearch and input dreds of farmers and supporters from the health and agricultural sectors. nformed “ifarmwell is informed by a combination of farmences as ers’ lived experiences gical sciwell as psychological ence. Everything we do is carefully tested with farmers to ensure it is meaning” Dr ful and effective,” Gunn says. n Having grown d up on a farm and
with experience as a clinical psychologist, Dr Gunn is familiar with the challenges that farmers face and the evidence-based strategies that can help address them. “Despite the unique stressors and the elevated rate of suicide in the farming population, farmers are half as likely to access GP or mental health services than other rural people,” Dr Gunn said. “Part of the reason for this is that they are incredibly self-reliant and often believe they should be able to handle stress and not rely on others for help. There are also barriers to accessing mental health services in many rural and remote communities. These include some health professionals’ lack of awareness of how to communicate effectively with this group about their wellbeing. We need to address these issues.” Accessing confidential help online appears to be a preferable option, given the positive feedback to ifarmwell in the past four years, and the fact that up to 95 per cent of the agricultural sector are now connected to the internet with the roll out of the National Broadband Network. The website relies on videos, cartoons, case studies and text messages to communicate with farmers in a straightforward way, sometimes using humour without trivialising the situation. “Helping farmers to learn to accept things beyond their control, using language they understand and examples they can relate to, is the key,” Dr Gunn said. “New features include an option for people working directly with farmers to refer their clients to ifarmwell, and to monitor and encourage their progress through the modules. Other new updates include a self-guided wellbeing check-up and the ability for farmers who might be a bit worried about someone but not sure how to help, to easily share ifarmwell with a m mate. “This resource is designed to help people b build skills before they nee need them, as well as assist those th who are already feel feeling distressed. You do not need to have a mental health he problem to benefit,” D Dr Gunn said. Left: Dr Kate Gunn from the University of So South Australia. PH PHOTO: UNIVERSITY OF SO SOUTH AUSTRALIA.
Support available for COVID-impacted small business SMALL businesses that experienced a downturn over summer can now apply for a NSW Government support payment of up to $5000 per week through Service NSW. The Small Business Support Program will provide cashflow assistance to help local businesses get through the current COVID-19 outbreak and keep workers employed.
"Over the summer, Omicron meant many people chose to stay at home, which hit small businesses in our community hard, especially in the hospitality and tourism sectors," said Member for Dubbo, Dugald Saunders. "Our Small Business Support Program is about making sure businesses that are viable over the medium and long
term get through Omicron in good shape so we can bounce back better as case numbers fall.” Mr Saunders said the Service NSW Business Concierge team and grant assessors are standing by ready to assist with applications. “The majority of customers submitting complete and eligible applications can expect
to receive payment within five to 10 business days of approval of their application,” Mr Saunders said. The program will provide targeted support to businesses with an annual turnover of between $75,000 and $50 million that experienced a decline in turnover of at least 40 per cent in January 2022 and the start of February 2022.
The payment for employing businesses will cover up to 20 per cent of weekly payroll, up to a maximum of $5000 per week. Eligible non-employing businesses, such as sole traders, will receive $500 per week. Funds can be used to cover business expenses such as wages, rent, loss of perishable goods, professional services and other costs.

NARROMINE STAR Local News for the Narromine, Trangie & Tomingley region Thursday, February 24, 2022
Community conduit a voice for locals SINCE turning the fi rst sod on the Tomingley Gold Operations (TGO) project in 2014, Alkane Resources has been acutely conscious of its responsibilities as part of the local community in which it operates. It’s a commitment the company and its people take seriously – that’s why TGO’s Community Consultative Committee (CCC) is such an integral part of the mix. Independent chair of the CCC, James Hamilton, is a born-and-bred Narromine Shire local with deep community ties and a commitment to the economic, environmental and social wellbeing of the region he loves and calls home. The committee he chairs is a collective of local representatives acting as a conduit between the broader community and TGO. If positions on the committee become vacant, expressions of interest are advertised locally with all appointments to the committee being approved by the NSW Department of Planning & Environment. This ensures a diverse cross section of demographics from the local region, with new representatives drawn from various sectors of the community. The CCC holds quarterly meetings at which information is shared about what’s going on at the mine by TGO representatives, and information is similarly fed back from the wider community to the company. It’s a two-way exchange of information, according to James. Queries or concerns from the community are communicated through the committee, and the TGO representatives will ask the relevant questions and come back with answers
and information. Consultation with communities by companies such as Alkane is a legislative requirement, and often those consultations are contentious and can be a pathway of great angst from local communities. Not so with the TGO CCC, says James. “The Tomingley gold mine has been so well supported by the local community we just haven’t had that angst. I put that down to the fact that Alkane has always been so open and transparent as to what’s happening,” he says. “They’ve been on the front foot as to what has happened, and importantly, what is going to happen in the future. The community sees them as approachable.” James’ roots are fi rmly planted in the region – he’s a farmer, but also has extensive corporate experience and runs his own successful facilitation consultancy, making him the perfect fit for the role of independent chair of the CCC. “I live on the other side of the Narromine Shire from the mine – I sit outside the tight knit community of Tomingley, so that goes to my independence as well. But being local to the region and a farmer, I am attuned to the issues that affect us. “I also wear my professional hat with previous experience in the corporate sector and with strategic planning and review.” As both the CCC chair and a local, James and his fellow committee members are keen to ensure a positive legacy for TGO in the local region. “The sharing of wealth from the mine is important, and the operation is conscious of reinvesting in the community,
which it has already done so in very practical ways.” Some of those investments include sponsorship of the Tomingley Races, and substantial fi nancial contributions to the maintenance and upgrading of facilities at both the Tomingley and Mungery community halls. Through its Community Fund, TGO has also invested in local education, supporting Narromine High School’s Science Spectacular and the Clontarf program. “So, there are amenities that all get to share that are made possible by Alkane’s reinvestment into the local community,” says James. ••• THE TGO Community Consultative Committee, independently chaired by James Hamilton, currently has seven community members – they are Amee Dennis, Barbara Dunn, Gavin Dart, Paul Brydon, Toni Clark, Tony Ellis and Greg Cannon. Narromine Shire Council is represented on the committee by a local Councillor. The previous representative resigned prior to the recent local government elections and a new representative will be nominated by Council. TGO usually has two or three representatives attend each of the CCC meetings. If you would like to bring anything to the attention of the committee, share information or express interest in joining the CCC, please contact James Hamilton on 0428 890 151 or email: ja me s @ c u lt iv at e a dv i s or y. com.au ••• f Tomingley Gold Operations is a foundation supporter of Narromine Star.
Flow-on effect: World events impacting local fuel prices By STEPH ALLEN FUEL prices have continued to rise across the country, with central west NSW seeing an average price of 181.6 at the start of this week. Fuel Check reported that the state’s average had increased by 0.01 cents in a day, and by 2.9 cents since last Wednesday. The lowest price recorded in the state was 161.2 and the highest was 197.9. The beginning of the week saw an increase in prices across the region. Dubbo’s average unleaded fuel price was 177.35. Narromine had an average of 175.7, Elong Elong 178.9, Wellington 175.9, Geurie 176.9, Molong 178.9, Cargo 181.9, Tomingley 175.9, Brocklehurst 169.9, Orange 171.15, and Bathurst 173.46. The cheapest service stations in each town were United Dubbo East (E10 173.7), Liberty Narromine (E10 169.5), Elong Rural (U91 178.9), Metro Petroleum Wellington
(172.9), Independent Geurie (176.9), Independent Molong (U91 178.9), Metro Orange and 7-Eleven Orange (E10 167.7), United Petroleum Bathurst Unmanned 162.9, Independent Cargo (U91 181.9), BP Tomingley (E10 175.9), and Shell Brocklehurst (E10 169.9). But don’t blame local staff and petrol station operators – the price hikes this year are being caused by factors out of local control. Market watchers are pointing to the international forces at play, including a dramatic increase in energy demands as Covid lockdowns ease, tensions on
the Ukraine border, and supply problems at the world’s biggest oil producers. Bloomberg reported this week that key per-barrel prices for oil had hit their highest levels since 2014. “The oil market globally is roaring higher because of demand that’s exceeding what some organisations – including the International Energy Agency – had been anticipating. That surge in consumption has compounded the fact that nations in the OPEC+ producer alliance are not managing to pump as much crude as they had said they would,” Bloomberg reported.
“(TGO has) been on the front foot as to what has happened, and importantly, what is going to happen in the future. The community sees them as approachable.” – James Hamilton, independent chair of the TGO Community Consultative Committee
Inquiry delivers final report into voluntary assisted dying AN Upper House inquiry into the Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill 2021 released its fi nal report this week. on February 22, 2022 The bill was referred to the Standing Committee on Law and Justice on October 19 last year, with the bill passing the Legislative Assembly on November 26. The Chair of the Law and Justice committee, the Hon Wes Fang MLC, said: “This inquiry, as expected, generated significant public interest and stakeholder engagement. The committee was able to hear from over 75 witnesses across three days of public hearings. “This was in addition to receiving around 39,000 responses to an online questionnaire, as well as 3070 submissions and three supplementary submissions. “The committee heard from stakeholders who supported the bill, and those that opposed the bill. This included various advocacy groups, academics, medical professionals, religious leaders and pri-
vate individuals with lived experience of the issues relating to the bill.” Mr Fang said that “the purpose of this inquiry was to give stakeholders the opportunity to put their views on the record, and to consolidate this evidence to inform the Upper House's consideration of the bill”. “This is an issue with strong and passionate opinions, which are felt deeply on both sides of the debate, and so unsurprisingly there was no consensus amongst stakeholders, or indeed committee members, as to the merits of the bill. “The committee's report does not take a position on the bill, but rather, sets out the background of the bill, and more importantly, the key arguments in support and in opposition to the bill for the Legislative Council to consider during its debate. As such, the committee has simply recommended that the Legislative Council proceed to consider the bill,” Mr Fang said.

I encourage all families to visit the website, and I know it will have a special appeal to the 250,000 families across Australia with more than one child aged under six who will get a higher subsidy soon. On average, families will be better off $2,260 per year, with families with three children in care saving up to $370 a week on out-of-pocket costs. Starting Blocks replaces the existing Child Care Finder website and reduces the burden on approved providers of early education and care services, who no longer need to provide their fee and vacancy data separately to Child Care Finder. traders, will receive $500 per week.

Community News Donations fund scripture materials at NPS By SHARON BONTHUYS FIVE volunteers from local churches have expressed appreciation to local organisations for helping to fund student workbooks and teaching resource materials for the scripture program at Narromine Public School (NPS). Spokesperson Sandra Edmunds from the Anglican church said more than $1500 was raised for the project and thanked donors Narromine Car Club, Narromine Men’s Shed and the Mudyigalang Craft Group for their support. “We acknowledge the wonderful donations. This money has paid for all the scripture materials for NPS,” Ms Edmunds said. Ms Edmunds said the wider community may not be aware that the NSW Government allows scripture to be taught in schools. The five volunteers vis-
it NPS each Tuesday to deliver their multi-faith, non-denominational program to participating students. Participation in the scripture program is voluntary for NPS school students, who receive their own workbook. Teachers also receive manuals through the program. “All churches in Narromine have been invited to provide scripture teachers to participate in the program,” Ms Edmunds said. “At the moment we have three Baptist, one Anglican and one Generocity scripture teachers participating. We feel very privileged to be made welcome at the school,” she said. Ms Edmunds says she gets great joy from her volunteer work and enjoys seeing the children’s faces light up when they see her each week.

Ladies celebrate long friendship over lunch By SHARON BONTHUYS
A group of ladies with long associations to Narromine, and each other, met for lunch again last Sunday in what has become an ongoing celebration of friendship. The ladies have been meeting regularly every six weeks for 11 years for these luncheons, which have only been impacted in recent times by COVID restrictions. The Narromine Star caught up with the ladies at their most recent lunch at the USMC, the fi rst for 2022. Member Ann Reid delighted everyone by showing a beautiful soft blanket made for her by her granddaughter, Sophie, featuring photos of special events and family members. “I hang it over the back of the chair and change it round so there’s a different person showing each time,” she said, indicating the statement at the bottom of the blanket meant everything to her. “Love you Nan, although we may be far apart, we are always close at heart,” it reads. Catching up with each other is very important to the ladies, one of whom travels from Geurie to attend. The group’s origins are derived from a group known as the “25 Club” which was believed to have started locally in 1971. As spokesperson Velma Naylor told the Star, “We enjoy our friendship.”

Churches unite for world day of prayer NARROMINE’S churches will come together next month for this year’s “World Day of Prayer” (WDOP). Observed by 170 countries around the world by an estimated 16 million people speaking 90 different languages, the annual event is always staged on the fi rst Friday in March. The same religious service is held in churches across the participating countries and is hosted in turn each year by
the town’s churches, according to Gail Muldoon from the Narromine Baptist Church. “It’s very liturgical and the same service is conducted everywhere,” said the Narromine resident of 26 years who has attended most of the WDOP services held in that time. “The Baptist Church will host the service this year and the other churches will take part in it,” she said. “The churches have at-
tended a meeting about it already and each church has a different part to play in the service.” Congregations from the participating churches are welcome to attend the WDOP, which commences at 7pm, and stay for supper afterwards. Each year the multifaith program is written by the WDOP committee of a different country. The 2022 program has been written by the WDOP Committee of England,
Wales and Northern Ireland. Funds donated by parishioners at the worldwide event will be directed towards a community project identified by this committee. Over the past couple of years attendance numbers at the WDOP and other church activities including weekly worship have been low due to the impacts of COVID. Ms Muldoon hopes attendance numbers will improve this year as COVID restrictions lift.
“All the churches have found [COVID] difficult. It was hard keeping our community going during lockdown but we’re coming back,” she said. The WDOP service will be one of the fi rst big gatherings to be held following the removal of the mask-wearing mandate and the requirement to ‘check in’ by the NSW Government. “It’s a good time for all the churches to get together,” Ms Muldoon said.

efit to the local community. We are grateful to our community and the folk of neighbouring communities who support our endeavours to do this – by donating goods to our stalls, and purchasing tickets in our raffles. Without this support our
hospital would not be as well equipped as it is. If any community member feels that they would like to be a part of this very essential community organisation we are always pleased to welcome new members.

“ A tradition of caring
“
NARROMINE Hospital Auxiliary held its fi rst meeting for 2022 earlier this week, even though several members were unable to attend. It was a very productive meeting. Due to the resignation of our previous vice-president (VP), the fi rst order of business was to elect a new VP. John Shearman was nominated and has accepted this position. Fundraising as always was next to be discussed with everyone agreeing to follow a well known path of street stalls, raffles and anything else that we might be able to manage to do to raise funds for new equipment for the hospital. Health services manager (HSM) Sanu Joy gave his report to the meeting and shared the news of the new staffing that has taken place at the hospital. Also the good news that we will have Dr Andy Caldin at the hospital on a four-day rotation every two weeks, combining this with his four- day rotation at the Narromine Shire Family Clinic. This is great news for our local community. The flat attached to the hospital has been newly renovated and furniture purchased by our auxiliary. It has been very well used by staff as they wait

Narromine preschool recreates Macquarie River Contributed by KELLY MCPHERSON, EDUCATIONAL LEADER WE would love to share with you some of the amazing learning experiences that are happening in our beautiful preschool environment. Last week the children have been enjoying the water play in our back digging patch where we have been creating the ‘Macquarie River’ and cooking lots of cupcakes in our mud kitchen. We love this area in our
outdoor environment. This open-ended play creates so many different learning opportunities for the children, such as language development, physical development, mathematical concepts and discussions and understanding the world we live in. We love seeing the children exploring with mixing and stirring, lifting heavy things, asking lots of different questions, getting their hands dirty all whilst they are laughing, having fun and mixing with their friends.

Sport Cricket Report: Narromine 14Bs come away with strong win Contributed by MATT ELLIS THE Narromine 14Bs came away with a strong win against Macquarie Cricket Club on Saturday morning. Paddy Cusack top scored with an unbeaten 24 in Narromine’s total of 6-158 from their 28 overs having been sent into bat. Cusack was well supported by Jack Brewer who made 16 and Carter Magill notching up 15 not out. Magill backed up his efforts with the bat claiming 2-5 with the ball while Jake Sherwood also claimed 2 wickets, fi nishing with 2-6 to help ensure victory for Narromine. Macquarie was bowled out for 75. It was also a good morning for Narromine Black in the 12Bs notching up a win over Wellington. Luke Sherwood claimed 3-12 with the ball, with Kade Burns, John Kennedy and Ned Kerr each picking up two wickets. With the bat, there were good contributions throughout with Darcy Tink adding 23 and Luke Sherwood making 16 from his 17 balls. In the end it was a 48-run victory to Narromine Black. In senior cricket, Narromine were aiming to lift the Brewery Shield for the third consecutive season in Sunday in Dubbo. After winning the toss and batting fi rst, Dubbo was bowled out for 204 with just over 8 overs re-
maining in their innings. Thomas Masonwells was the key destroyer for Narromine, fi nishing knocking over the top 4 batters in the Dubbo batting order. Doug Potter also chimed in with three valuable wickets and Bart Goodman two in what was a good all round bowling performance. Unfortunately for Narromine, they were unable to reach the victory target and were bowled out for 172. Preston Beauchamp top scored for Narromine making 31, opening the batting with Henry Buttsworth adding a valuable 26 before he was the last player dismissed. Pinnington Cup action saw Narromine claim victory over Macquarie at Dundas Park on Saturday afternoon. The home side posted 7-172 from their 40 overs with Matt Ward notching his third half century of the season fi nishing 51 not out. The Narromine bowlers were on song with Goodman, Liam and Singh each claiming three wickets to ensure a big win for the hosts. Jordan and Ryan Richardson were the stars for Narromine in Kelly Cup action with Jordan finishing on 94 and Ryan 71 in an impressive total of 7-228 from their 40 overs. Robert Burns and Ryan Richardson each claimed two wickets to help ensure that Dubbo Rugby were restricted to 7-160 giving Narromine a solid win.
Gliding club busy in prep for nationals Contributed by BERYL HARTLEY THE Narromine Gliding Club has played host to the NSW coaching week this month. Eight coaches and 16 students flew a week of excellent training weather. The club is now hosting the second
week of the Bathurst Soaring Club annual gliding camp. The possibility of storms this week may challenge the pilots wishing for long distance fl ights. The club is busy preparing for the National Gliding Championships to be held in Narromine next month.

Narromine Bowls Club weekly report By RICK BOHM WELL it’s been a while but here goes something. The A Grade Singles have now reached the semi-final stage and this Saturday Kevin Rider will take on Steve Buttworth in one semi-final, while the other semi-final features a couple of past champions in Danny Carnevale and Robbie Stanford. All four were successful in their quarter fi nal matches last Saturday, and for the record, the results went something like this: game one Kevie was a tad too good for Ray Anthony 31/19 and great to see Ray back playing after a couple of years’ hiatus. In game two Robbie had to pull out all stops to get over “YOGI”, 31/24. In game three the greenkeeper used all his guile to overcome Phil Harding 31/15, while the last of the quarter fi nals contained what most pundits would describe as a bit of an “UPSET” but maybe not with president Daniel getting the chocolates albeit just 31/28 over “Beaver”. So onward and upward to Saturday at 1.30pm and no doubt the window tappers will be out in full force. Best of luck to all four and may the luck be shared. In Social Bowls this week a handy field of 20 players had a hit out. Must be popular this little afternoon soiree as one competitor flew his own plane in to make sure he was part of the action. The usual suspects were also on hand and at day’s end, the winners were Fly Boy Mark M Fitzallen along with the Nyngan Kids Greg Wight and Col Hume. The
boys scored some 14 points along the way to a toweling up of Frenchy and Co (didn’t pay the bribe Frenchy, that’s why only your name was mentioned). The runner’s up refreshment prize went to Peter Pierce, Des Lincoln and Don Sullivan who scored 13 points and had a superior margin over the other two winning rinks who incidentally were the winning pairs teams of Noel Delboux and Danny Carnevale along with Bob Christof and Billy Wilkie. Sunday social bowls attracted a field of just 10 so, no runner’s up cheque for the unlucky triples combination of Bob McIntosh, Kerry Martin and Ray Anthony who defeated Piercy, Cliffy and David 13/06. So the triumphant pair of Murray Gillespie and Danny Carnevale got all the loot on offer after their decisive 25/04 win over Westy and the Barber. The club is commencing Friday Night Barefoot Bowls to entice a few more up to the bowly in an effort to both promote the sport and our wonderful facilities. Of course, cheap schooners won’t hurt the cause and perhaps some prizes thrown in as well depending upon numbers. The usual meat tray raffles will also be run and won and all this for a nominal green fee. Bowls kick off around 6pm and no doubt the starter will accommodate any requests for a match against your mates. Bowls NSW with its amalgamation with the Royal NSW Women’s Bowls Association has meant huge changes to the bowling season and the
type of events and the various conditions of play associated with these futuristic visions of how our game will progress into the 21st century. Plenty of “EXPERTS” have some interesting views on these changes, but as I have always said club’s seven members with the view of “we have always done it that way” are no longer in business. Change for change’s sake is, I agree, unwarranted but when your participation levels are less than 50 per cent of what they were a decade ago, well it’s time to think outside the box. Well that’s my soapbox moment for the week, now back to what’s happening around the traps. With the changes to the traditional calendar a number of clubs have added tournaments and official days to their respective programs. First off, Narromine will host a troupe from Trangie Bowling Club on the last Sunday this month. Should be a great morning and no doubt apart from the camaraderie, there will be a meal of sorts after morning bowls and perhaps the odd meat tray to be won. March features a couple of President’s Days, namely Tullamore and Nyngan. This could be a great opportunity to get out there and play at a couple of venues you may not have done so before. All the information for what’s happening around the traps can be found on the zone four website. Well that’s it for me this week, hopefully the secretary doesn’t send me a letter curtailing my ramblings. Oh, and the ladies kick off their season next Tuesday!

Connie Greig wins five of six races at Condobolin
RACING NG ORT REPORT By COLIN HODGES
By COLIN HODGES DUBBO trainer Connie Greig produced a remarkable feat to win five of the six races on Saturday at Condobolin. The only one of her six horse team not to win at the meeting was Get Up Alby which fi nished second to stablemate Valadyium in the $11,000 Inland Petroleum Condobolin Picnic Cup. Sharing the limelight was Brazilian born jockey Leandro Ribeiro with five winners including four for Connie Greig and the other on the Rodney Robb, Nyngan-trained Acres Midnight in the opening event. Brent Evans prevented a clean sweep by Ribeiro when winning the Cup (1400 metres) on Valadyium which the previous Saturday had won the Bedgerabong Picnic Cup with Will Stanley in the saddle. From back in the field, Vala-
dyium (Brent Evans, $3.80) began making ground from the 600 metres and fi nished too well for Get Up Alby (Leandro Ribeiro, $3 favourite) and the leader Sipharderson (John Wilson, $7). Backing up from winning the Clearview Bracelet at Bedgerabong for Connie Greig, Call Me Trinity (Leandro Ribeiro, $1.90 favourite) led throughout to win the KMWL feature sprint (1000 metres) at Condobolin from Jawsome (Breanna Bourke, $13) and Danetree Belle (Will Stanley, $3.80). Next up for the Greig stable, humping the 71kg top weight, Linden Tree (Leandro Ribeiro, $4.60) overhauled the leader My Shiromi (Brent Evans, $3.60) to win by over two lengths with Bold Louise (John Wilson, $2.40 favourite) third in the 1100 metres CWA Of NSW Centenary Class 1 Handicap. Yet another win for Connie Greig when Gossip (Leandro Ribeiro, $3.10) came from fourth in the 1400 metres Chamens IGA Class 2 Handicap to account for the leader Boys Home (John Wilson, $3.40) and Star Express (Breanna Bourke, $17)
Completing a memorable day for Connie Greig and Leandro Ribeiro, Merdeka ($2.40) in a line of three turning for home, fi nished best on the outside to win the 1700 metres Condobolin Milling Class 3 Handicap by a head from Nepenthes (Will Stanley, $2.30 favourite) with Bavarian Watts (Anaelle Gangotena, $5) a long neck away third. Getting in early for a share of the prizemoney was Nyngan trainer Rodney Robb with Acres Midnight (Leandro Ribeiro, $1.80 favourite) all the way winner of the 1000 metres Vella Stock Feeds Maiden Plate from Little Outa Reach (Breanna Bourke, $15) and Keep No Secrets (Brent Evans, $15). Meanwhile at the Orange TAB meeting, Rylan’s Pick (Jackson Searle, $9), owned by Ken and Kerry Wright from Nyngan and trained by Brett Robb, swept to the lead in the straight to win the 1000 metres Epiroc Benchmark 50 Handicap from Angie Emm (Elissa Meredith, $3.80) and In The Road (Tony Cavallo, $31). Condobolin attracted a big crowd and was considered the best meeting held in the town for many years.

Gerries golf notes: 17 starters tee off in weekly competition Contributed by NORM LEWIS SEVENTEEN starters faced the starter last Saturday for the weekly Gerries golf competition on the Narromine course. Playing the back nine first in pleasant but slightly windy conditions, the girls returned some very good scores. Dale Harding continued her great recent form and carded 23 points to win the event from Carol McCalman and Bev Woods, both
on 21. Carol took second place on a count back. Wendy Jeffery won the ladies nearest the pin worth two golf balls this week. There was also a tie for the dreaded NAGA prize with Jeanette O’Brien on 16 points taking the weekly prize from Vicki Gainsford, also on 16. The men played the front nine where we almost saw a family double with Chris Harding equal with Terry Willis
on 24 points. Unfortunately, the double was avoided when Willis took count back and the major prize. “Boof” Fraser won the men’s NTP and Greg Kearines won the men’s NAGA prize for the week with 16 points. The boys moved to the Pool table for the weekly comp with Terry Willis and Chris Harding drawn to play Steve Squires and Greg Kearines in the preliminary match. This match
was won by Willis and Harding who were playing in great form to reach the final. It appeared to be all over until the perennial late starter, Norm Lewis, arrived to be drawn with “ring-in” Kane Adams to face the challenge of Willis and Harding, who were in top form. It was only a matter of time before the hot shots had cleaned up the table and looked set for an easy win. An “elderly gent in the audi-
Parkrunners have fun as they get fit By LYNDAL COOPER LAST Saturday 29 people participated in Parkrun, with three fi rst timers and four recorded personal bests (PBs) including Miss Maya Cooper who came fi rst with a new PB of 22:05.

ence” called with the advice “their all in-offs”. Harding played what he thought was the winning shot, but alas, in went the black and the white for a stunning victory for Adams and Lewis in what was called ‘victory by default’ by many onlookers. An interesting result. On Saturday, the ladies will play the front nine and the men the back with the hit off at the usual time of 9am. See you all at the 19th.

Get your frocks out for this year’s Tomingley picnic races
By SHARON BONTHUYS
GET your frocks out, folks, the Tomingley picnic races will take place on Saturday, April 2. Billed as ‘where beautiful shoes meet dusty hooves’, gates will open at 11am with the fi rst runners out the gate at 1.30pm in the six race program. The ever popular Fashions on the Field is offering an extensive prize pool this year, with prizes across the age range. If you have an outstanding moustache or mullet, there are prizes for those as well. The event will be preceded by a Calcutta and auction of memorabilia at the Cross Roads Hotel on the evening of April Fool’s Day. The Narromine Star will be present at the race day to capture the action.
Aside from the action on track, Fashions on the Field is always a trackside feature at the Tomingley Picnic Races. Pictured are some of the fashionable racegoers at last year’s meeting. PHOTO: PHOTO: JANIAN MCMILLAN/RACINGPHOTOGRAPHY.COM.AU
Veterans golf tournament series tees off By SHARON BONTHUYS THE Western Districts Veterans Golf Association (WDVGA) program teed off on February 17, with the fi rst of 12 tournaments to be held at golf courses around the central west. Five veteran members of the Narromine Golf Club participated in the fi rst tournament at Dunedoo, an 18 Hole Stableford with the field divided into two grades. They joined 33 other players from clubs at Dunedoo, Dubbo, Gilgan-
dra, Gulgong, Coonabarabran, Binnaway, Trangie, Narromine, and Wellington in the tournament. “The Dunedoo Club is to be congratulated on the condition in which the course was presented, following extensive damage caused by vandals last year,” said Norm Lewis from the Narromine Golf Club, himself a veteran golfer. The A grade winner was Dubbo representative Tex Giddings with 35 points, who defeated Narromine’s Chris Peter on a count back. The B
grade winner was Alan Kelly from Dubbo. Other WDVGA tournaments will be held at Binnaway (March 22), Nyngan (April 9), Dubbo (May 20), Coonamble (June 1), Gilgandra (June 16), Coonabarabran (June 28), Trangie (July 14), Narromine (August 4), Cobar (August 19), Gulgong (September 1) and Warren (October 6). Veterans-only championships will also be staged concurrently with their scheduled tournaments at Trangie on July 14 (individual champion-
ship) and Warren on October 6 (4BBB championship). Additional NSW VGA competitions are planned for Narromine from September 17-18 (Sandgreen 4B championship), Dubbo from September 19-23 (Dubbo VGA Week of Golf), Forbes from October 2-4 (Medal Western Final), Binalong from October 15-16 (Men’s Sandgreen championship), and Dubbo from 31 October to 4 November (Stroke Play championship). Mr Lewis, who plays in the veterans competitions when
able to and reports regularly on the “Gerries” golf events for the Narromine Star, encouraged locals to consider golf for sport and fitness and to enter the veterans competitions if eligible. “To be classed as a ‘veteran’, players need to be aged 55 or over. Players must also be a member of a golf club but also a member of a veterans golf association,” Mr Lewis said. To fi nd out more about participating in veterans golf competitions, contact the Narromine Golf Club.
