Referendum results: Emphatic “No”

By SHARON BONTHUYS PARKES, geographically the largest federal electorate in NSW, has returned an emphatic “No” vote of 79.38 per cent and a “Yes” vote of 20.62 per cent in the 2023 Referendum, according to the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC).

The latest fi gures provided by the AEC online referendum tally room prior to going to print show this is how the Narromine Shire – part of Parkes electorate – voted in the referendum: * Narromine - 1,423 No votes, 369 Yes votes, and 61 Informal votes, totalling 1,853 votes. * Tomingley - 129 No votes, 17 Yes votes, and no Informal votes, totalling 146 votes. * Trangie - 485 No votes, 101 Yes votes, and seven Informal votes, totalling 593.

Informal votes are those where the instructions were not followed during the voting process. For example, voters did not write in English ‘yes’ or ‘no’, or they may have drawn on, left messages, or defaced the ballot paper.

Postal, absent and declaration pre-poll voting for the Parkes electorate is not yet f inalised.

You can fi nd the voting results for your local community, by electoral division, via the online referendum tally room on the AEC website.

We’ll have a wrap up of local voting on page 10.

NARROMINE resident Grace Walker has realised a long-held dream with the opening of her new recreational f light training business at the local aerodrome.

“Flying With Grace” is a new satellite fl ight training school of Dubbo-based Wings Out West. Based in an aircraft hangar at the Narromine Aviation Business Park, Ms Walker, 36, has welcomed her fi rst trainees in recreational flying.

With the support of her instructor, friend and fellow aviator Dan Compton, Chief Flying Instructor (CFI) with Wings Out West, Ms Walker is now a Senior Instructor who is working towards becoming a CFI herself.

In the next three to five years, she also aims to transition into flying General Aviation aircraft.

Narromine is a long way from Sydney, where she grew up watching planes with her father. That passion led to her joining the Air Force cadets in high school, where she would teach aviation theory and volunteer at aviation museums on restoration projects.

Although she pursued other career options after leaving school, including social work and working as a paramedic, f lying was always something that remained a strong interest.

Moving to Narromine more than a decade ago proved instrumental in bringing to fruition Ms Walker’s childhood dreams to fly.

“I always wanted to be a pilot. Life had other plans for me when I left school but it came full circle when I became involved with the aviation community in Narromine,” she said.

Ms Walker began learning how

to f ly with Wings Out West and completed her first solo f light three years ago. Sadly, her father didn’t live to see his daughter achieve her dream. Ms Walker thinks he would be very proud and “chuffed” at her achievement.

“I bought my fi rst plane before I learnt how to fly, and dreamed of being an instructor. I’ve worked towards this goal since 2020, during and throughout COVID. “Since then, I have only grown to love what I do more and want to share this with others.”

And share she has. Ms Walker is the NSW Chair of the Women in Aviation International (WAI) Australian Chapter, an organisation dedicated to the encouragement and advancement of women in all aviation and aerospace career fields and interests.

In this role, Ms Walker has enjoyed getting involved and providing the community with information about aviation and the many career possibilities that don’t involve flying aeroplanes. These include air traffic control, engineering, management and maintenance roles, among others.

“I ran a Girls In Aviation Day in June in Dubbo to promote aviation to young girls. Next year I plan to work with the Girl Guides,” she said. She has also connected with another youth organisation to explore aviation as a possible diversionary activity.

Above all, Ms Walker has wanted to show her young daughter, Abigail, 8, that this was her dream and she made it happen.

“I want to show my daughter that if you have a goal you can chase and achieve your dreams. That it’s achievable,” she said.

mum’s achievements?

“She thinks it’s cool. [Flying with me] is normal for her,” Ms Walker said. Partner Brad Naylor also thinks it’s pretty cool.

Ms Walker is keen to continue volunteering with WAI Australian Chapter and her role as NSW Chair, as well as mentoring her students and those keen to explore roles in aviation.

When the Narromine Star stopped by the hangar to visit, Ms Walker’s recreational flying student Nick Allwright was busy plotting travel for a training exercise. He is close to fi nishing his training and intends to fly between Dubbo and a family property at Cobar, as well as other locations once qualified.

Ms Walker said that learning how to fly is easier and more achievable than readers might think. Teens can also become qualified to fly solo well before they can drive a car on their own.

“A recreational pilot certificate takes a minimum of 20 hours to achieve, which includes five hours solo [flying]. You can fi rst solo at 15 years old,” she said.

“Lots of people start recreationally, then move onto heavier planes [in General Aviation]. It’s a great entry step. [Older people] may come back to recreational flying or start to learn when their children have left the nest, or they have retired, or it’s something they have always wanted to do and now have the opportunity.

“Recreational f lying is very accessible and can appeal to anyone.”

You can follow Flying With Grace on social media or visit her training facility in the Narromine Aviation Business Park.

Dubbo High students at No. 5 Elementary Flying Training School

By PATRICK BOURKE THE military service of Dubbo High School’s former students is quite extensive, ranging from World War I (WWI) to Iraq and Afghanistan.

There are over 500 former student names on the Dubbo High School WWII honour boards which are now located at the Dubbo College’s Senior Campus. At least 47 former students made the supreme sacrifice during WWII. Many of these served in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) and at least 11 did their pilot training at the No.5 Elementary Flying Training School, Narromine during WWII. These brave men were: Flight Sergeant Bruce Astley 403422 Bruce Astley was the youngest son of Joseph Laurence Astley, a very prominent Dubbo businessman who donated the Astley Cup, an annual sporting competition which started in Dubbo in 1923 and is still going today, contested by Dubbo College, Orange High School and Bathurst High School. Bruce Astley represented Dubbo High in rugby league in the 1934 Astley Cup competition.

During WWII, Bruce Astley was a flying instructor in the United Kingdom (UK). He was killed in a flying school accident on January 28, 1942.

Flight Lieutenant Robert Lachlan Condon 402850 Robert Condon’s plane was shot down on August 28, 1942, off the coast of Italy but he survived the crash. He spent the rest of the war in Prisoner of War (POW) camps in Italy and Germany. The flying trousers worn by Robert Condon are in the Australian War Memorial.

Flight Lieutenant Everard Colin Edgar DFC 412414 Known as Colin Edgar, he was awarded the DFC for fortitude, courage and devotion on numerous operations. Colin Edgar survived the war.

Flying Officer Edward Maxwell England DFC 412418 Edward England received his Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC) for bombing attacks on targets in Germany, including Berlin and Hanover. He was killed in an aircraft accident near Brantingham-Brough, Yorkshire UK, on February 25, 1945.

Garage sale this weekend THE Narromine Uniting Church is holding another of its famous garage sales this weekend.

If you’re looking for bric-abrac, games, books, toys, crockery, plants and other items, get along to the church on Saturday as there are bargains to be had.

The garage sale is one of the primary fundraising events for the church and everyone is welcome. For further details, see classifieds.

Pilot Officer Rawdon Hume Middleton VC 402745 Rawdon (Ron) Middleton was the great nephew of the Australian explorer, Hamilton Hume. He represented Dubbo High in tennis in the 1933 and 1934 Astley Cup competitions.

Rawdon Middleton died on November 29, 1942, in the English Channel after returning most of his crew safely back home to England. They had completed a successful bombing mission over the Fiat Factory at Turin, Italy. For his extraordinary actions in saving his crew and preventing his aircraft from crashing into civilian houses in England, Middleton was awarded the Victoria Cross (VC).

Flight Lieutenant Frank Morris DFC 33446 Frank Morris was granted his DFC for completing many operational sorties against the enemy in which he displayed high skill, fortitude and devotion to duty. He survived the war.

Pilot Of f icer John Manelaus Panos DFC 4 030 01 John Panos represented Dubbo High in rugby union and tennis in the 1935 and 1936 Astley Cup competitions. He received his DFC for his skill and fortitude in operations against the enemy. He survived the war.

Pilot Officer Kenneth Alan Potts 412683 Ken Potts survived the war.

Flight Sergeant Bertram James Stanford 411543 Bertram Stanford was killed in a flying battle over Burma on May 19, 1943.

Pilot Officer John William Taylor 412735 John Taylor prior to his enlistment was a junior assistant gardener at Victoria Park, Dubbo, employed by the Dubbo Council. In a letter back home published in the Dubbo Liberal and Macquarie Advocate on July 27, 1943, he mentioned he had met up with two other RAAF servicemen from Dubbo, Ken Potts and Colin Edgar, in Bournemouth, England, who attended Dubbo High School. John Taylor died on September 5, 1943 during a flying battle over Germany.

Flying Officer James Stewart (Stuart) Wright 412746 James Wright was killed on March 16, 1944, in France during a flying battle. His brother, Arthur, drowned whilst trying to escape from a German POW camp on September 1, 1944.

Referendum result: nation votes ‘no’

By ANDREW TARRY WITH 78 per cent of the nationwide votes counted so far in the referendum the results are clear: a defi nitive ‘no’ vote has been passed, meaning the defeat of the referendum.

Some of the fallout has focused on the need to spend $364.6 million of taxpayer money for a resounding ‘no’ result. Despite the cost, the prime minister has argued that it was the right thing to do.

For the referendum to have passed the ‘yes’ vote needed a national majority of over 50 per cent. As it stands the ‘yes’ vote has 39.4 per cent and the ‘no’ vote 60.6 per cent. The referendum also required a majority of four states to vote ‘yes’

for the referendum to pass.

As results came in on Saturday night, the picture became clearer after NSW, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia, Queensland, Western Australia, and the Northern Territory all voted ‘no’. The ACT was the only territory or state to pass a ‘yes’ vote.

The votes were also counted per federal electorate with Gilgandra, Warren, Narromine, and Nyngan all within the Parkes electorate, which voted 20 per cent in favor of ‘yes’ and 79 per cent in favor of ‘no’ with 81 per cent of the vote counted.

The country has endured more than 12 months of campaigning with the messages from either side often difficult to understand. There were times when the rheto-

ric was hard to listen to, with name calling, stereotyping, accusations, and misinformation, being thrown across federal parliament, and state parliament floors.

Sometimes the disagreements made their way into workplaces or social settings and often households around the dinner table. What is clear from the ordeal that the nation has experienced, is that although one side was successful in attracting the majority of votes, there are no winners.

Communities have cast their lot; friends have taken sides.

The symbolic meaning of the result will continue to be digested as the practical reasons for voting are examined.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese addressed the country

on Saturday evening.

“My fellow Australians, the fi rst time I spoke to you as prime minister of this nation, I repeated a commitment I had given many times before as Labor leader,” Mr Albanese said.

“I promised that our government would seek to implement the Uluru Statement from the Heart.

“I gave my word to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leaders and elders who had poured their hopes and aspirations into that extraordinary statement.

“I spoke to people from all walks of life and all sides of politics, people of every faith and background and tradition, who had embraced this cause.

“I promised our government would seek to answer

the generous and gracious call of those 440 powerful words through a Voice, recognition, enshrined in the constitution.

“And of course, when you do the hard things, when you aim high, sometimes you fall short.

And tonight we acknowledge, understand and respect that we have.”

Leaders and advocates for the ‘no’ vote argue that the real work must now begin.

For the ‘yes’ side, leaders and advocates have asked for a week of silence as they come to terms with the result.

Politicians and communities are also calling on the prime minister, the instigator and most ardent proponent of the referendum to unify the country and provide a path forward.

For some communities in the central west of NSW, the vote quantities and percentages are as follows: Location Yes votes Gilgandra 333 Narromine 369 Nyngan 175 Warren 202

Yes % 20.18 20.54 15.84 19.54

No votes 1317 1423 930 832

No % 79.82 79.41 84.16 80.46

Responses to the Referendum outcome

By SHARON BONTHUYS

THE strong “No” vote recorded in the federal electorate of Parkes at the Referendum last weekend surprised many, including the encumbent Federal Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton MP, and 2023 NSW Woman of the Year and NSW Aboriginal Woman of the Year, Lynda Edwards.

While Mr Coulton has been aware for some time that the Parkes electorate would be unlikely to support embedding a Voice to Parliament in the Constitution, he was surprised at how strongly this result came through in his electorate.

“I’ve been talking to constituents across the Parkes electorate in the leadup to this Referendum and there have been many people who were apprehensive about the proposed changes,” Mr Coulton said.

“Many people I spoke to held plenty of goodwill towards Aboriginal Australians, but simply did not understand or trust the proposal well enough to approve it.”

Ms Edwards was surprised at the high “No” vote right across the state and suggested the misinformation spread on social media played a role in driving that.

“I actually was surprised at the high percentage across NSW. It is disappointing that – due to what I believe is the misinformation that has been going crazy all over social media – the real message of what having this Voice means to many First Nations people [is lost],” she said.

Mr Coulton and Ms Edwards reflected on what voters had said to them in the lead up to the Referendum.

“Aboriginal Australians both in the Yes and No camps also spoke of concerns relating to representation within the Voice and whether it would actually help their communities,” Mr Coulton said.

“The insults levelled by the Yes campaign at people who were unsure about the proposal would not have helped their case, and evidently did little to bring undecided voters onside.

Ms Edwards said: “Some have been good like, this is what we need as a community to build our capacity. We need to be consulted otherwise we get programs etc that we don’t need. Some have said it is good to be finally recognised as the First People of this country.

“The misinformation that has been seen on social media, like Aborigi-

Shakespeare FUNERALS DUBBO

nal people will take people’s houses and land, that we would make our own laws or change laws, or why do you need to have First Nations in the constitution? Aren’t we all the same, don’t we all get the same benefits?” she said.

While the outcome of the Referendum has been determined, it is not the end of the conversation, Ms Edwards said.

“We are a resilient people and will continue to fight for recognition and a process that will hear our voices.

“Having all the support not only from First Nations people but Non-Indigenous people has shown me that there are more people out there who understand what we fight for and I thank each and everyone of them.”

“This is not the end of positive progress for Aboriginal Australians,” Mr Coulton said.

“As I’ve pointed out many times, there has already been progress – especially within the Parkes electorate – and where that occurs we need to build on it.

“I’m encouraging everyone to regroup and recover from this Referendum, to reflect on it, but ultimately to focus on the future and on creating better outcomes for all Australians.”

Correction: Conscription IN last week’s issue the story on the Nasho reunion made a statement about conscription schemes being used during the First and Second World Wars. This was incorrect, and for clarification, that information was not provided by those interviewed. The Narromine Star apologises for this error.

The Australian War Memorial (AWM) website states that legislation enabling conscription was passed in 1903 but not for overseas service, and in 1911 legislation was passed for compulsory military training in Australia. This scheme was abolished in 1929 but was “revived” in 1939, again not for overseas service.

However, the AWM website also states that in 1943 the Curtin Government passed a bill in which “‘Australia’ was defined in such a way as to include New Guinea and the adjacent islands. This obliged soldiers in the Citizen Military Force (CMF) to serve in this region, known as the South-West Pacific Area.”

Unique war memorial opens in Narromine

Charlotte Kazem.

From page 1 Some 39 bronze plaques and a number of photos are embedded into the memorial’s gently sloping top, honouring the memory of the 2,738 pilots that attended the No. 5 EFTS during World War II. Also listed on the plaques are the names of trainees and instructors who died in local training accidents and are buried at the war cemetery south of town.

It is unique in that there is no other memorial of this type that commemorates every graduate of a wartime air force training school. The RAAF had 12 EFTS and the fi fth school was located in Narromine. During the time it operated, some 80 Tiger Moth aircraft were based at the aerodome and on surrounding properties with airstrips.

As a nod to this particular part of the EFTS history, three vintage bright yellow Tiger Moths conducted a fly-past prior to the official opening. They were brought to Narromine by the Fighter Squadrons Branch of the RAAF Association (NSW Division) especially for the event.

Connections AUNTY Ruth Carney delivered a Welcome to Country and shared her own personal family connection to the aerodrome. Deputy Mayor Cr Dawn Collins represented

The Fighters Squadrons Branch of the RAAF Association brought three Tiger Moths to Narromine for the event.

A strong crowd gathered for the official unveiling.

Narromine Shire Council and acknowledged those involved in the project, including the Aviation Museum Chair, Peter Keirath OAM, Curator Mike Nelmes, and their Museum Committee, as well as council and its staff for their contributions to the project.

“I believe this memorial wall will increase our visitor numbers to Narromine which is vital for tourism and our community as a whole,” Cr Collins said.

Mr Kierath reflected on the personal connections that some of those in the crowd may have with those named on the memorial.

“I’m sure some of our guests would have relations named on the plaques,” he said.

He also welcomed members of the RAAF Association.

“Some of [them] have travelled long distances to be in Narromine for this wonderful event,” he said.

Five years in the making MR Keirath paid tribute to Angie O’Neil from Canberra, who meticulously compiled the list of names for the plaques over a five-year period, and also delved further into their RAAF records to create a computer database about each person’s service. “[Ms O’Neil] spent five

years checking the names, initials, ranks, units served, decorations, and most particularly, whether or not they returned. She found that 20 per cent of those pilots did not return. They have been recognised by a cross attached to their name on the plaques,” Mr Keirath said.

Obtaining funding to build the wall took just as long as the research, Mr Keirath said.

The museum unsuccessfully applied to the federal government three times during the five-year period for funding to build the memorial wall, Mr Keirath said. In 2022, the curator’s application to the NSW government was successful and the almost $150,000 project could begin with the support of the Narromine Aviation Museum and Narromine Returned and Services League (RSL) Sub-Branch.

What Sir Angus said DURING his speech, Sir Angus Houston gave a potted history of the No. 5 EFTS at Narromine Aerodrome and paid tribute to Mr Kierath.

“I can’t believe the state of the museum now. You’ve taken it a long, long way in six short years.

“It’s an absolute asset to this community, and I would also add, an asset to the RAAF. We need more museums like this around Australia so peo-

Peter Kierath and Sir Angus Houston. ple can learn about the great sacrifice and service that was done by the RAAF in World War II,” he said.

“The community should be incredibly proud of this memorial wall. It’s a place that will help visitors gain a better understanding of the journey of ordinary Australians who selflessly served their country in World War II. “Today as we open this memorial wall, we pause to remember and reflect on the service and sacrifice of Narromine veterans and other Australian airmen and airwomen who served and continue to serve our nation. We should always remember the contribution of our military veterans and their families, who have given so much to protect our freedom and way of life.

“I’m deeply humbled to be able to declare this memorial wall to some magnificent men open,” Sir Angus said.

Accompanied by his wife, Liz, Sir Angus joined those gathered for afternoon tea in the Narromine Aero Club function room.

What guests thought PAM Perry, 82, is the granddaughter of the late local identity and past patron of the Narromine Aero Club, Tom Perry.

She was thrilled with the new memorial wall.

“It has taken a lot of time and effort to do it,” she said.

Greg O’Mally attended the unveiling with his mother Maida, 95.

“This museum and the memorial wall are absolutely amazing. All the hard work people have put in to get it to this stage,” he said.

“It’s wonderful for the town,” said Chris Kelly, one of the volunteers who prepared the delicious afternoon tea. Ms Kelly believes the museum is not advertised enough.

“I reckon 60 per cent of the town doesn’t know it’s here,” she said.

David and Judy Taylor also attended the opening. David is the president of the Narromine RSL Sub-Branch.

“I think [the memorial] will raise awareness of exactly who went through here all those years ago. Nearly 2,800 pilots.

Narromine certainly has had a long aviation history,” Mr Taylor said.

“Just to be acknowledging this history is important. It’s what makes our little town important,” Mrs Taylor said.

The fi nal word on the official opening went to one of the youngest attendees, Charlotte Kazem, 6, who attended the event with her parents and has been learning about the memorial.

“I like this wall,” she said.

After the Referendum

IN the wake of the 2023 Referendum on a Voice to Parliament I know there will be many who are pleased with the outcome and also many who are deeply disappointed. At the time of writing the results are yet to be decided, however no matter the outcome I’m encouraging constituents to be respectful and considerate towards those either side of this debate.

This Referendum has brought to light many tensions and divisions across the electorate of Parkes, especially within families. I want to remind everyone that the majority of people across this nation want the best for Aboriginal Australians and want to Close the Gap – how this

THIS week is National Carers week, and I would like to take this opportunity to recognise the invaluable contributions of carers across the Dubbo electorate.

The theme, Millions of Reasons to Care, highlights the 2.65 million unpaid carers across the nation and reflects their immeasurable commitment and selfless support for their loved ones.

It is an opportunity to recognise and celebrate the vital work that carers do for family members and friends in the Dubbo electorate, particularly unpaid care, and support to people with a disability, mental health conditions, chronic illness, drug,

Talking trade and tourism I WELCOMED Shadow Minister for Trade and Tourism the Hon Kevin Hogan MP to Dubbo, Gunnedah, Narrabri and Moree last week and was able to showcase some leading examples of trade and tourism in the Parkes electorate.

With a focus on trade, especially export, we visited many local businesses that are exporting products on the international market such as equine nutrition, citrus, various commodities, and crops. The massive scale of quality production which comes out of this electorate is exceptional, and we were able to discuss strengths and barriers affecting industry in our regions. and alcohol dependency or who are ageing.

Narromine Aviation Museum THE Memorial Wall at the Narromine Aviation Museum is officially open!

From May 1940 to May 1944, 2850 pilots went through the RAAF No. 5 Elementary Flying Training School at the Narromine Aerodrome – over 20 per cent of all pilots trained in Australia during that period.

This memorial wall is a moving tribute to the region’s military history, and the finished product is truly a superb recognition of all those pilots who trained in Narromine.

Constructed using old English-style red bricks and standing 1m high, the wall

Tourism was also a point of discussion as we travelled across the eastern side of the electorate, with plenty of caravans’ evidence of the growing tourist trade in these parts of New South Wales as well as further west.

Get a skin check!

AS someone who spent the fi rst few decades of my working life in agriculture, sun exposure has been a major concern and has resulted in several surgeries over the years to remove skin cancers.

Getting a skin check has been so important to me personally, and I encourage all my constituents to make the most of any opportunity to have this done.

I was grateful to the Australian Skin Cancer Foundation and sponsors for providing a mobile skin check service to Narromine recently, where I and many other locals underwent a potentially life-saving skin check.

To find out where the National Skin Check Truck is heading next, please visit the Australian Skin Cancer Foundation website.

showcases 38 plaques, honouring all 2850 pilots who trained at the Flying Training School, including 16 who died during training, and about 780 pilots who served but never returned home.

For a region that is still internationally renowned for its fantastic thermals and is widely considered one of the top three locations in the world for gliding, this Memorial wall is an incredible way to educate both locals and visitors on the rich history of aviation in Narromine and pay tribute to all of those who served.

Congratulations again Narromine Aviation Museum.

You should be immensely proud of this achievement.

Infant Loss Remembrance Day INTERNATIONAL Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day, observed on October 15, is a day of remembrance for families who have experienced the loss of a developing or newborn baby.

NALAG (National Association for Loss and Grief) Cen-

tre hosted a Remembering Ceremony to commemorate these precious lives. Lighting candles and participating in the International Wave of Light, where candles are lit around the world, is a symbolic way to honour the babies who have passed away.

Each year in Australia, approximately 150,000 women experience the loss of a developing or new baby, around 1750 are stillborn and some 850 babies die in the first 28 days after birth each year.

These numbers underscore the importance of recognising and supporting families who go through such heartbreaking experiences.

NALAG Dubbo has established a Baby’s Remembrance Garden to help in addressing the loss and consequent grief experienced by parents, grandparents, siblings, health professionals and the wider effected community. The garden provides a peaceful and dedicated space where people can ref lect, remember, and find solace as they come to terms with their loss.

A special place to remem-

ber little lives gone too soon!

New district vet for the central west

By SHARON BONTHUYS

CAREER veterinarian Dr Jayne Dwyer has swapped the sub-tropical Northern Rivers/Lismore region and decades of private practice for life in the central west and a new role as a government vet.

Now based in Dubbo, Dr Dwyer has recently joined the team of District Vets working with the Central West Local Land Services (LLS).

It’s the fi rst government role for Dr Dwyer, who has spent 30 years in mixed-animal private practice in three states.

“I was in the Northern Rivers for a bit over 20 years and before that I worked in private practice in Queensland and Victoria as well,” said Dr Dwyer, who is enjoying her new role.

“The District Vet is part of the animal health team at LLS and we’re here to work with landholders, managers and the community to improve primary production and support agricultural businesses in regional areas,” she said.

“We help with the health of the livestock industry and more generally to make regional communities and their agricultural businesses profitable and sustainable into the future.”

This work includes assisting primary producers with any particular problems they may be having with their livestock, she said.

There are six District Vets in the Central West LLS team, spread across a vast geographical region including the local government areas of Bogan (lower), Coonamble, Dubbo Regional, Forbes, Gilgandra, Lachlan, Narromine, Parkes, Warren, Warrumbungle, and Weddin. Dr Dwyer is one of two District Vets based in Dubbo and travels all over the region as needed.

The team is busy, having carried out more than 5,000 on-farm disease investigations last year with biosecurity officers, Dr Dwyer said.

“The producers I’ve met with have been extremely appreciative of the help that they’ve received [from LLS], and really appreciate the information and service we give.

“I’ve gone on-farm, diagnosed a disease, helped them manage it, treat it, and then I can also put them in touch with nutritionists that work for LLS [for further support].

“I’m really appreciative of the opportunity to work with them on their farms, too,” Dr Dwyer said.

A typical week for a District Vet could include a combination of on-farm visits carrying out disease investigations, looking at flock and herd health issues, as well as community engagement through field days and information days for producers.

District Vets also visit saleyards and carry out inspections as part of their disease surveillance work, Dr Dwyer said. They also consult other teams within LLS such as natural resource management, which deals closely with invasive species.

Dr Dwyer has loved her move inland to the central west with its very different climate and landscape.

“I really love it. It’s so different. We were in a summer rainfall area [in the Northern Rivers], and we don’t have anywhere near as much cropping up there.

“I fi nd this region quite beautiful with more open plains and undulating [landscape]. The crops are just beautiful.”

Welcome to the central west, Dr Jayne Dwyer.

Tottenham Gymkana returns after three years

Winners of the Open Arena Sorting on Sunday were the Seedy’s, Andrew, Angus and Sparra.

Spectators were able to watch in comfort as the participants of the Speed Shear earned their ribbons.

By LYNETTE JARVIS

Jodie Attenborough, (left) presenting Peyton Callaghan, winner of the High Point Score for the 14 – 16 year old division, with the Anne Semler Memorial Perpetual Trophy for the Highest Scoring competitor of the ridden events. In true Gymkhana tradition, Jodie has followed her mother, Anne Semler, into the role of Gymkhana Club Treasurer.

THE Tottenham Horse Sports and Gymkhana returned after a three-year absence on October 7-8, with a record number of participants competing in the two-day event.

Following COVID-19 restrictions and the 2022 severe weather event that saw the grounds underwater, the crowds were back making this event the most successful event ever in its 40year history.

Previously, a “good year” would see approximately 100 horse and rider combinations in the morning’s events of what has been a one-day affair. This year’s lists show 169 participating horse and rider combinations on the Saturday, and an extra 99 entrants on Sunday.

With many Bush Carnivals unfortunately becoming a thing of the past, adults made up the strongest contingent with 64 riders lining up in this division alone.

Entries were received from throughout the central west, including Condobolin, Narromine, Dubbo, Geurie, Coonamble, and Wellington. The farthest afield award for this year would have to go to the crew from Narrandera. Free camping and a wide range of events certainly contributed to the appeal of the weekend.

Returning after a break of several years was the Speed Shear. The quality of the sheep and the neatness plus times for the shearing were impressive, with Brad Baker taking the Open prize in 43.66 seconds. Young local, preteen Adam Marsden, won the Junior Division in 2.32 minutes and then fronted up on Sunday to assist as stockman for the Arena Sorting.

The Gymkhana-Style Dog Show again proved popular, with categories of “Best Dressed” and “Best Trick” being fiercely contested. The crowd gathered on the hill to watch both height divisions of the Flat Chat Dog Race, quite entertaining as some loyal hounds totally disregarded their owners.

The hotly contested Team Barrel race was won by Lily Foran, Chloe Long and Sophia Rose, with a combined time of 62.59 seconds from a field of 17 teams. They just pipped the runners-up by the tiniest margin of 0.03 seconds, Fraser Gill, Jock Cater and Andrew Gill.

These guys redeemed themselves in the Teams Challenge, the bending race with a team of foot runner, horse and motor bike, with their combined score of 40.78 seconds beating 26 teams.

Evening events included children’s footraces, ap-

ple bobbing, lolly drop, sack races, a billy-cart race, three-legged races, yabby race, men’s and ladies’ dummy spitting, and the no holds barred Tug ‘O War. Sunday’s activities were limited to Arena Sorting, held in three divisions with three riders per team, for a total of 99 riders. The Youth Division was claimed by Motley Crew of Charlotte, Jemima and Archie with a time of 1:41.78.

The Family Event was won

by Willo’s Mob, Nath, Eadie and Anna, in 1:25.90. With an incredible time of 52.66, the Seedy team of Andrew, Angus and Sparra won the Open.

Funding from the NSW Government’s Reconnecting Regional NSW Community Events program meant entry was free, and the Tottenham Lions Club and Central School P&C ran the barbecue and canteen respectively. Live entertainment was also provided.

President Steve Chase said that the committee is indebted to its sponsors, the incredible community of Tottenham, and visiting participants.

Funds raised will go towards the palliative care ward refurbishment at the Tottenham Multipurpose Centre.

Full details and results for the event can be found on the club’s social media accounts.

No “democracy sausages” this year but Narromine Lions sold a heap of raffle tickets with “meaty” prizes.

By SHARON BONTHUYS

WHILE the national debate around the 2023 Referendum question has certainly been less than civil in the lead up to October 14, the vast majority of Narromine Shire residents who attended voting centres on the day behaved impeccably.

The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) had asked voters ahead of the Referendum to show respect for its staff working on the day.

“Australia has a proud history of peaceful elections and referendums. The majority of voters understand and respect that when they come to vote in what is a community atmosphere,” the AEC said on its website.

Voters largely heeded that call in the Narromine Shire, but also were respectful of other people’s views according to vox pop feedback gathered by this newspaper on the day at Narromine. We were told two instances of heated language occurred outside the Narromine voting centre which was attended by 1,853 voters that day.

Voters knew how they would vote THIS masthead respected the

privacy of voters and did not ask them how they voted or intended to vote at the Referendum. What we did ask them, however, was if they already knew how they would vote when they arrived at the voting centre.

Every person who spoke to us confi rmed that they had already made up their mind how they would vote when they arrived to cast their ballot.

Narromine fielded the bulk of voters on Referendum Day, with long lines stretching out the front gate of the Narromine Public School and beyond for several hours across the morning and early afternoon. Due to pre-arranged reporting commitments in Narromine on October 14, we were unable to get to Trangie or Tomingley on the day.

While some people at Narromine did take the “Yes” and “No” pamphlets handed out by volunteers as they arrived, it would appear this may have been more of a courtesy than a last ditch effort to extract a supportive or negative vote.

Older voters share their thoughts ONE of those caught in the long lines earlier in the day was Gail Barry, 64, who said she never took how-to-

vote cards at any event requiring a vote, including the 2023 Referendum.

“I never read them. It doesn’t matter if it’s state, federal [elections] or a referendum,” she said, indicating she always knew how she would vote prior to voting day.

On the matter of respectful behaviour, Ms Barry said people do get set in their ways but have to be respectful.

John MacCallum, 66, voted early and only had to wait about ten minutes, he said.

“I had the same opinion the whole way through [the lead up to the Referendum], and it was ‘Yes’. [Aboriginal people have always] been told what to do and have never had a voice,” he said.

Sandy Andrews, 73, attended the only early voting centre available to local residents, in Dubbo, and fit her mandatory duty to vote in around her appointments in town.

“No one asked me my reason for voting early,” she said, surprised because early voters are generally asked why they are voting ahead of an electoral ballot.

Of her decision to vote, Ms Andrews confi rmed she knew how she would vote, and that she was defi nitely not a “swinging voter”.

First time Referendum voters have their say

A statement from FIRST time Referendum vot- Beyond Blue ers Andrea Ciotti and Ben Johnston, ages unknown but below 42, said the voting process was fairly straightforward. It was the fi rst ever voting experience in Australia for American-born Ms Ciotti and Mr Johnston wondered about the makeup of the Referendum question.

Another first time Referendum voter was Carley Lowcock, 36, who spent much of the day handing out “Yes” pamphlets at Narromine. Ms Lowcock said the process to explain what The Voice meant could have been simplified to remove the confusion in the community.

“People broke down each word,” she said.

Fellow “Yes” campaigner and fi rst time Referendum voter, Cheyne Jones, 39, said he was excited by the Referendum process.

“I love the fact we live in a country where ordinary people can vote to make changes to the Constitution. That doesn’t happen everywhere,” he said.

“More could have been done to inform the community about what [proposed] changes to the Constitution meant,” he said of the process.

THE following is an excerpt from a statement by the Beyond Blue organisation: This is a moment of reflection for Australia…

We still believe Australians want a just and compassionate country. We may have different experiences, cultures and views, but fairness and respect are values that will always unite us.

We believe Australians would agree that the gap in mental health outcomes between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians is not acceptable.

The referendum result will be distressing, particularly for many First Nations peoples.

We want to reassure everyone that Beyond Blue is available with free, immediate mental health advice and support for everyone. However you voted, whatever your views, Beyond Blue is here for you. Crisis support from First Nations’ counsellors is available from 13 YARN. As we emerge from this chapter in our nation’s story, we must maintain hope that a better future is possible. That this was not our only chance at healing.

NSW government promises more paramedics for rural and remote NSW THE NSW government have announced a boost for health services and the communities their serve with the proclamation that the government is committed and working towards an extra 500 paramedics for regional, rural, and remote NSW. The announcement follows up on one of Labor’s campaign pledges made during the last election. With paramedics forming a critical role in health care, especially emergency response the lack of trained technicians in the area has left communities in central and far west NSW susceptible to tragedy. To deliver the 500 paramedics the government has including a $438.6

million package in the upcoming budget.

As part of the pre-budget announcement the minister for regional health Ryan Park said “I have made improving access to healthcare in our regional, rural, and remote communities is a ministerial priority of mine. I’ve always said that we will do this fi rst by building an engaged, capable, and supported health workforce in the bush. It will take time, but the Minns Labor government is pursuing a comprehensive suite of reforms to rebuild our regional health system.”

One of the challenges of living regionally or remoting in the state is the lack of

access to all kinds of medical aid, particularly emergency first responders, who in regional and remote areas often travel large distances to reach incidents. The government’s announcement states that the upcoming package is designed to address the unique challenges confronting our regional and rural health system, including the difficulties of remoteness and distance, as well as worker shortages. The government argues that by establishing more paramedics ambulance response times for “life threatening callouts and medical emergencies” will be improved.

The premier Mr Minns said

Next week’s edition will be published on Thursday.

Deadline is 12pm Tuesday.

of the package “today we take another important step in the long road to rebuilding our regional health system”.

The multimillion-dollar package isn’t just limited to paramedics. The government also intends on introducing a suite of reforms to “rebuild our regional health workforce”.

The package also contains: f Deploying more nurses and midwives to achieve safe staffing levels in our hospitals, including in our regional, rural, and remote areas. f Expanding the rollout of the single employer model program which will put more doctors in our regional general practices and hospitals. f Doubling the rural health

incentive scheme which provides fi nancial and non-fi nancial incentives for health workers to move to our regions. f Rolling out study subsidies for health students and graduates, with a focus on those moving to the regions. f Embracing virtual care, where safe and appropriate, to supplement the capacity of regional and rural health workers, ensuring patients in the bush can receive high quality care and treatment closer to home; and f Embracing the Rural Preferential Recruitment pathway and the Rural Generalist Training Program which offer junior doctors rural health opportunities.

Blooming lovely roses!

By ANNE HARMER IT may have been Black Friday everywhere but the Anglican Church Hall was fi lled with colour as the Narromine Garden Club’s Annual Rose Show and Luncheon got underway on October 13.

A very big thank you to all the entrants who foraged in their gardens for their excellent blooms after a very dry hot windy day just before the show day.

We had a very large wonderful display of roses as well as some very special arrangements in the decorative section and some very well maintained potted plants.

Many congratulations to Heather McIntyre on her champion rose bloom and to Barbara Jackson for winning the decorative section. The winner of the potted section was John Gainsford.

Our very competent judge was Mrs Gai Wilson, who is always a delight to work with. Many thanks also go to the kitchen workers and the show stewards.

Maida O’Mally and Tess Gedling were the happy respective winners of the raffle donated by Donna Payne and lucky door prize donated by Pam Hamilton.

Thank you to everyone who entered the show.

Hybrid tea roses.

The rose show lights up the hall every year with beautiful colours.

BRIAN’S BIBLE BITS

A brave faith in Jesus to spread “good news” “WHEN they saw the courage of Peter and John and realised that they were unschooled ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus”. (Acts 4:13) Have you ever been nervous to talk with someone, because you were different from them? Maybe it was because of a difference in religious belief, where you grewup, or whom you hang out with.

That didn’t matter to Philip. The Holy Spirit brought Philip to an Ethiopian eunuch who was of a different race, religion and political background. The eunuch was reading the Old Testament, and he was ready to hear the Gospel. The Holy Spirit prompted Philip to share it, and Philip simply responded with obedience. As a result, the man believed in Jesus and was Baptised (christened).

Jesus didn’t let physical or cultural differences stop him either. One day, Jesus spoke with a Samaritan woman drawing water from a well. Normally, a Jewish man would never talk with a woman, much less a Samaritan.

But the racial barrier between Jews and Samaritans didn’t matter to Jesus. He wanted to show the woman that God’s message of love and salvation was for EVERYONE. Sharing the Gospel can be scary, especially with people who are different from us. But remember by telling the truth to others, you are doing something incredibly kind and loving straight from your heart. You’re sharing “Good News”. And you are being like Jesus, who loves everyone, regardless of his or her background.

Jesus tells His followers to spread the Gospel. The earthly leaders of Jesus’ time told Peter and John to stop, but these two men chose to listen to God instead.

Who tells us what to do? Parents, teachers, coaches and, later on, our bosses, government officials, and police officers. But who is in charge of the big picture?

Jesus said we should recognise and sub-

mit to authority. But when that earthly authority disagrees with God’s authority, we chose God. Sometimes it is so tempting to listen to other voices. When we slip and let people take the place of Jesus in our lives, we start to care more about what they say than about what Jesus says.

Peter and John chose to listen to Jesus fi rst and foremost They did not set out to be rebellious. Instead, they knew what God wanted and lived to obey Him. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we can have the same heart of obedience to Jesus.

Make no mistake — it takes a lot of courage to live a full life for God. Has anyone ever made fun of you for going to Church? Maybe someone called you a “Jesus freak” or a “goody goody”. That probably didn’t feel too good.

This kind of thing has been happening to Christians since time began. And before that, it happened to the Jews who also followed God. Instead of worshipping idols like their neighbours. Make no mistake — it takes a lot of courage to follow Jesus.

It takes bravery to stand up for your faith.

Stephen was facing death, but he refused to deny Jesus. How did he do this? How could he possibly have been this brave? Of course Jesus helped him!

Jesus gives us the courage and the strength to stand up for what is true and right. His strength can overcome any fear or persecution, even in the face of pain and/or ridicule. And when other Christians see us standing up for Jesus, that encourages them all to stand with us.

Prayer: “Dear Lord, we want to stand up for you too, and be proud to do so. And Lord, help us to be able to deal with earthly authority, while taking God’s ‘good news’ to our friends and family, Amen”.

Vale, Margaret Brewis

Margaret Brewis won a copy of Geoff Smith’s bush poetry book in our giveaway in 2022.

THE Narromine Star team is sad to learn of the recent passing of one of our favourite readers, Margaret Brewis.

Mrs Brewis was an avid reader, and was very excited to win both of our book giveaway competitions held in 2022. Our last catch up with Mrs Brewis was at the Narromine Library, where she attended the guest talk by Australian balloonist and author, Ruth E Wilson, on October 7.

We would often see Mrs Brewis walking around Narromine and at community events, and she would always say hello to us.

Earlier this year she also celebrated her much-awaited 90th birthday.

Margaret, we will miss you. We hope there’s an amazing library in heaven with many books and newspapers for you to read.

Rest in peace.

Love from Sharon, Zoe and Kayla.

Women’s Shed gifts for Timbrebongie

By SHARON BONTHUYS THOSE hardworking craft and sewing experts at the Narromine Women’s Shed surprised the residents and staff of Timbrebongie House last week when they dropped in with some special gifts.

President Liz Adams, Secretary Ida Johnson and Treasurer Leona Lodding visited Timbrebongie on October 11 and presented the residents with a range of specially made apron garments to assist them when eating. Kitchen staff also received new navy and grey apron-style uniform tops, made to the specifications supplied by the team.

The Women’s Shed also donated three handmade, reusable “balloon balls” which expand when balloons are blown up inside the reusable covers. When fully inflated, these balls make a lightweight and safe object for the residents to enjoy for fun and exercise.

“We’ve all been sewing madly for several weeks,” Ms Lodding told the residents as she showed the range of dignity aprons made by the Women’s Shed.

These included absorbent

terry-towelling aprons and some fashioned as fancy colourful vests.

The staff uniforms became a special project after the Women’s Shed members learnt that the kitchen staff often struggled in their existing uniforms that tied awkwardly and didn’t sit properly. Staff were very surprised when six newly made uniforms were also gifted to them during the Women’s Shed visit.

“There’s lots of biased binding in those uniforms,” said Ms Lodding.

Gilgandra-based Ms Johnson told the Narromine Star that it took about a month to make the staff uniforms alone.

“Leona and I did much of the sewing [of the uniforms]. I used to take them home with me to work on them at home,” she said.

Ms Adams, who has been with the Women’s Shed for four years, specialises in loom knitting. She said the Timbrebongie project was a labour of love for the group, which operates from premises owned by the organisation in Dandaloo Street, Narromine.

“We like to support the residents,” Ms Adams said.

Narromine council exhibits healthy investment portfolio

By ANDREW TARRY NARROMINE Shire Council has shared its investment portfolio within the recent September council paper which shows the healthy fi nancial position of the shire. The investment portfolio is managed through term deposits with the total cash amount at $28 million.

An increase of $1.139 million from $26.974 million due to the transfer of excess funds from a cheque account

to investments.

Interest rate rises have also contributed to the council’s cash reserves and investments with the total annual revenue reaching $882,289.

This amount represents a return of 4.42 per cent and is split proportionally across the general, water and sewer funds. The council is required by legislation to maintain investment of its income to generate additional income and increase council’s capital po-

sition. This is to promote financial sustainability.

The report on the investments shows that council accounts are spread across the Commonwealth and NAB banks with nine accounts in total at varying interest rates between 4.10 percent to 5.47 per cent with an average investment yield of 4.72 per cent.

The council will continue to publish updates on the status of the investments through the remainder of the year.

nomination to the position of Handicraft Officer, and Mrs Denise Turnbull that of Cultural Officer.

Mrs Van Lubeck also informed all members of the community, that CWA membership is not a prerequisite to entering the Land Cookery competition, and nor is gender. There is also a section for juniors with schedules available from CWA members for the fi rst round of judging to take place at the Group Council meeting in March.

Closer to home, Trangie branch also held a well-attended Annual General meeting on Thursday evening, which saw Mrs Simone Berryman replace Mrs Pat Riley as President. Mrs Amanda Ferrari remains in the position

of Secretary, and Mrs Kate Kennedy in that of Treasurer.

Miss Alex Gartside remains in the position of Cultural Officer, Mrs Kath Bennett in that of International Officer, and Mrs Jo Milgate accepted nomination for the position of Ag and Environment Officer.

In other positions, Mrs Pat Riley remains in the role of Publicity Officer, and Mrs Jessie Quigley accepted the Land Cookery nomination.

Trangie branch was very happy to extend a welcome to three new members with the hope that this will be the impetus to entice more community members to consider joining an organisation whose members have, for more than 100 years, worked for the betterment of commu-

nities like ours.

Following the AGM, the monthly meeting gave way to discussion on the new and innovative co-working space that is fast nearing completion in the Trangie branch rooms.

France was announced as the Country of Study for the year ahead, with the Ag and Environment projects for 2024 being Microbats, Fungi and Imported Red Fire Ants.

Each year, the CWA Agricultural and Environmental Committee selects projects for study to encourage members to research and become more informed about our native species. A foe is also chosen to create an awareness of the pests that have a negative impact on our land and waterways.

New Gov’t strategy aims to attract mental health workers to the bush GETTING mental health professionals to the bush, is one of the crucial means of improving well-being in country areas, a new Government strategy believes.

The National Rural Health Alliance (the Alliance) has welcomed the launch of the National Mental Health Workforce Strategy 2022-2032 by the Australian Government.

The Alliance is pleased to see that the issues of mental health workforce shortages in rural and remote locations and options to address the specific needs of communities to attract, retain, maximise, support and train a rural workforce are given due consideration in this Strategy.

“We know mental illness in rural and remote Australia is more prevalent than in major cities and tragically, rates of selfharm and suicide increase with remoteness.

“We are particularly pleased to see the reference to the need for home grown professionals as the Strategy notes that people originating from rural and remote areas of-

ten have a preference to undertake training and employment in their own or comparable communities. The Strategy rightly notes that there needs to be a focus on developing, growing and sustaining the regional, rural and remote mental health workforce through providing localised education, training and placement opportunities for students,” said the Alliance Chief Executive Susi Tegen.

“Funding support needs to be provided to local clinicians to take on students as well as support those who work long hours in their communities, as their contribution often goes unnoticed until they burn out and leave.

“We’re pleased that many of the Alliance’s recommendations to the National Mental Health Workforce Strategy Taskforce have been incorporated as it acknowledges that a universal workforce approach is not viable for the unique and varied challenges in rural and remote areas,” she concluded.

Country champions! Clayton Cup caps the Terrier’s Centennial celebrations The Gulgong team with their collection of silverware from the 2023 season.

PHOTO: COL BOYD PHOTOGRAPHY.

By BRYSON LUFF CELEBRATING 100 years of existence is a fantastic achievement for any sporting club.

This is especially so for the Gulgong Terriers Rugby League Club with their centennial year, exceptional in so many ways.

Their results this year were so stellar, that they were se-

lected as the best club side in country NSW rugby league for the 2023 season.

Playing in the 2023 Christie and Hood Castlereagh League competition, the Terriers fi rstly went through the regular season undefeated.

They then claimed the Castlereagh League Premiers Shield and Castlereagh League Premiers Cup, with a hard-fought Grand Final vic-

tory by 10-4 against the Cobar Roosters in front of the large local crowd that packed the Terrier’s beloved Billy Dunn Oval on September 9.

Showing the community strength of the Club, that winning team also included five sets of brothers!

The Terriers are, as well, in possession of the Castlereagh League Boronia (Challenge) Cup, meaning

that the Gulgong side are the current holders of every piece of Castlereagh League silverware available.

In their 15 wins throughout the year, the Gulgong side scored 544 points and conceded only 222.

At the centennial year presentation night last Saturday, their burgeoning trophy cabinet was again added to when they were named as the win-

ners of the highly-prestigious and much sought-after Clayton Cup, which is awarded annually by the NSWRL to the best-performed First Grade side in all country NSW competitions!

Undoubtedly a fairytale fi nish for a fantastic 100th year for the proud local club!

Lots of action in Ladies’ golf

By DALE HARDING LAST Wednesday, a total of 14 ladies played a stroke round for a trophy donated by Peta Ferrari in an event that was also the play-off for the monthly medals.

The 18-hole winner of the McLachlan Shield was Vicki Gainsford with a score of 68 nett, on a countback from Jenny Fitzgerald.

The winner of the Jean Richardson Trophy was Kim Handsaker on 32 nett, also on a count-back from Jeanette O’Brien. Kim won the trophy of the day as well, with the 18-hole ball winner, Dale Harding on 65 nett.

Other ball winners were Jen-

ny Fitzgerald and Jeanette O’Brien with nearest-the-pins (NTP) won by Jennie Fitzgerald, Jenny Ward and Judy Heckendorf. Drawn cards were awarded to Betty Berryman and Peta Ferrari.

On Saturday, a small field of five played a Stableford event and a putting competition. Vicki Gainsford won with 17 points, and Marj Kelly won the putting competition with 13 putts. NTP was won by Jeanette O’Brien and the drawn card went to Maida O’Mally.

Yesterday was the last day of our season, and this weekend the Gerries will start!

BOWLING CLUB NEWS

Gerries start up summer comp

By NORM LEWIS A DISAPPOINTING field of only five players lined-up for the club’s Summer Competition last Saturday. The change from Wednesday to Saturday, and the voting day, no doubt had something to do with the small field.

Winner on the day was Jamie Roberts with a very good score of 27 points. Well done, Jamie. Bob Fletcher took second place with 21 points.

Once again, there was no winner in the Nearest-the-Pin competition.

There was a battle for the NAGA prize between Col Shepherdson and Vince Ferrari, who both scored 16 points. The prize went to Col on a count-back.

There were also insufficient players for a pool competition.

All the Geriatric golfers are reminded the weekly comp is now played on Saturday mornings. Hope to see a big field turnout this weekend.

Gainsford and Duff the Mixed Foursome Golf Champions

By NORM LEWIS THE Annual Mixed Foursomes Championship event was played last weekend with a small field of 12 players taking part in the 36-hole event.

Overall winners were Vicki Gainsford and Craig Duff with a scratch score of 144. Betty Berryman and Tony Harding were runners-up with a score of 150. Congratulations to the winners on some very fi ne golf.

The 36-hole handicap event played in conjunction, was won by Carol McDonald and Rob Gainsford with a nett score of 136. A close second in the handicap section were Vicki Gainsford and Craig Duff on 138.

The Nearest-the-Pin (NTP) prize on the ninth was not won, while Peter Hutchinson took home the prize on the 10th. The Long Drives for the ladies went to Vicki Gainsford on the fourth, and Betty Berryman on the 15th. Craig Duff won the prize for the men on the fourth.

Well done to those who made up the field for this major club event.

On Saturday, an 18-hole Multiplier was held which attracted a field of 18 players.

The winners were Luke Mack and Blake Mallon with a score of 88 points. Second place went to Ron Green and Peter Gainsford who carded 76 points. The NTP winners were Blake Mallon on the third, and Matt Brown on the 17th, while Blake Rich-

ardson won the Long Drive on the fourth.

The drawn Birdie Jackpot was not won.

Summertime also witnesses the return of the annual Business House competition, a very popular teams’ event played mid-week during daylight saving time.

The fi rst round of the 2023 event was played last Wednesday attracting a field of 64 players. The winning team on the day was the “Double Delights” with a score of 21.8.

Straight Drives went to J Gainsford on the fi rst, and S Barlow on the 11th, with a good start to this popular competition.

Our Juniors were playing in a gala day at Warren, but no results were available at the time of going to press, with these to be held-over until next week. It is hoped our juniors had a successful day.

This weekend, there is a Monthly Medal and an Individual Stableford competition. Later this month, there will be also be a Juniors Gala Day at Trangie with a Jets’ Old Boys Two-Person Ambrose and a Shoot-Out Final.

That’s all for this week — see you at the 19th!

Harris, Faro and Cross win the Thursday comp

Sponsor’s banners… don’t you just love our new signs? PHOTO: RICK BOHM

By RICK BOHM WELL, so long to Bed 13.

Now direct from the “Bowly”, here’s what’s happened and is coming up.

Firstly on the “what’s happened”... this week witnessed 10 “mad Englishmen go out in the midday sun” on Thursday for social bowls, with the day’s winners being Neil Harris, Duane Faro and Peter Cross.

In second spot was Kerry Martin and Robert French, who had a good win over Bruce Powyer and Mick Edwards. “Frenchie” and John should be home from Tilpa by the time this column hits the stands. I wonder how the fishing was?

Sunday saw a field of 16 soldiers tackle the chook run with the trio of Mark Smith, Carl

Moore and Kevin Rider atop the podium. Joining them were Mark Rixon, Lionel Ayoub and David McNair, and also the trio of Neil Harris, Kerry Martin and Ben Clark.

Speaking of “Beaver”, he and partner, Duane Faro, look like winning the Club A-Grade Pairs, as they are the only nomination to date. Nominations for this event close shortly.

The Robert Handsaker Triples Tournament is only a few weeks away as well and, to date, we have several vacant spots. By the time you read this, there will be less as I am getting on the “dogand-bone” today to round up some missing regulars.

Well that’s it for me for another week. Hope to catch up with you down at the “Bowly” sometime this week.
