ticipants, volunteers and staff.” The marathon attracts between 750 and 1000 paddlers each year and around 200 volunteers are needed to help the event. There are various roles people can choose to volunteer for including merchandise sales, refreshment centre, catering, parking/traffic management and administration. All volunteers are provided with meals and basic camping accommodation. “People can choose how long they’d like to volunteer for, whether it be a couple of days or the whole event, we’re happy for any contribution from people,” Mr Chapman said. All funds raised from the VicSuper Murray Marathon are dispersed back into the Murray River region to support and sustain the region through environmental, social and economic projects.

Our Musings started in January 2008 and were intended to be a report of our monthly meetings but seem to have got out of control. I anticipate returning to our original format in January 2011 because I’m a busy boy. Apart from that my biggest fan is Peter Lawless and he is never going to join us. Indeed, until I became friendly with Peter I had been under the illusion that John Wayne won World War II. But this is a busy period for all of us. The grass needs mowing, the roses are in bloom and looking good, the irises are spectacular and the hippeastrums look promising. All this beauty means work. Aphids, thrip, mealy bug, leaf curl, black spot and bindii all combine to make life difficult but the rewards are pleasing. Hope the tomatoes appreciate their TLC! Dooley Daley has promised me a nice yellow belly but Smokey Dawson insists that he and Charlie Malthouse are first on the list. But, if Dooley cares to take me to Ararat for the JP Clarke Memorial next May I’ll forget about the yel-

Masonic Musings I was recently asked how I managed to think up what to put in our Musings. That is something which bugs me as I frequently have no idea of what to say then, suddenly, I wake up one morning knowing what to do. Sounds silly, but that’s the way it is.

Organisers of the VicSuper Murray Marathon are looking for volunteers to share the marathon experience and with Yarrawonga featuring as the start destination for the 40 year old event there is no better time to get involved. The traditional flatwater paddling event is the longest in Australia, spanning 404kms over five days starting from Yarrawonga on December 26 and finishing on in Swan Hill on New Year’s Eve. VicSuper Murray Marathon Management Committee Chair Scott Chapman said becoming a volunteer was a great chance for people to be part of a community tradition. “The VicSuper Murray Marathon is much loved by paddlers near and far,” he said. “The event is looked forward to by the paddling community each year and there is great camaraderie and spirit between the par-

low belly. Might even go and catch my own. So, where does Freemasonry fit into this scene? Freemasonry has its place in society and in the general theme of many family units, but family comes first, work comes next, recreation is a must (ask any 9 Holer) but, other than for those characters whose bent is to become heavily involved in the management of anything and everything they join, the normal number of hours a member spends on Freemasonry is about 4 hours per month; more if he decides to accept the challenge of becoming an office bearer. It’s all up to the individual. Back to golf and the 9 Holers’ Annual Championships played over 4 rounds. Guess who led A Grade after the third round? Guess where he finished? Sad, life can be so cruel, but even Dave King will agree that improvement is just around the corner; it’s just a matter of time. Golfers, being gentlemen, make good Freemasons; but Lodge 103 has a distinct leaning towards anglers. The 24 inch gauge is an implement found in the First Degree but I fear that its use by fisherman could become a matter to be viewed with some discomfort; but Masonic fishermen would, no doubt, be beyond reproach. Cheers, Stan Clarke, WM103.

The Knot By Peka Walters
These days when we mail packages we use special wide tape to seal the boxes. But when I was young, we covered the boxes in brown paper and then tied a long piece of string around the box so it held in the sides and the ends. You might still wrap some boxes this way today, but usually with very ornate paper and instead of string, organza or satin ribbons. With Christmas fast approaching, these package wrapping ideas abound in magazines on sale in newsagents and supermarkets. Fancy paper and festive ribbons have
begun to appear on shelves in stores and I’m half tempted to ask God why Jesus wasn’t born with a few more ribbons dangling from the manger rafters. When you’ve covered the package in the paper you eventually get to the part where you tie the first knot in the ribbon. It‘s difficult…. unless you have someone to help you by putting their finger on the knot. The whole process is so much easier and less messy too when you have help. Asking for help and giving help is a lot of what Christmas is about. When you see someone in need of help give it and if by chance you are the one in need, there are a lot of people out there willing to put their finger on the knot for you.
