Club gives away over $200,000 Last financial year the Roxby Downs Community Club gave away a staggering $208,000. “It’s the community club,” Manager Stev Ellard said. “To me, that means it’s there to support the community.” And they do. A non profit organisation, the Club ploughs its revenue back into sporting clubs, local businesses and events, gives countless prizes away to members and donates huge sums to charity. The swimming club, Area School, library, racing club, fringe festival, Auskick and Rox FM are just a few of the organisations which have enjoyed the Club’s support in recent years. In fact, there is hardly a sporting or community group in Roxby Downs that has not experienced the Club’s goodwill. The Hornridge Football Club were the lucky ones last month, with new uniforms worth over $3000 donated for the players. Charities are the other big winners when the Club has money to give away. Cancer charities all enjoy the Club’s support and $23,000 was given to the victims of Cyclone Larry and the Yorke Peninsula fires recently. The Royal Flying Doctors have also benefited from the Club’s generosity, with $12,000 worth of goods, including dishwashers, refrigerators and televisions just purchased from Mitre 10 to be auctioned off on September 16. “We were overwhelmed by their generosity,” President of the Royal Flying Doctors Service Auxiliary, Marie McCormack said. “The Club has always supported the Flying Doctors. Full marks to Stev, Tracey and the staff and we can’t speak highly enough of them.” Stev Ellard is particularly proud of the Club’s support of the Make a Wish Foundation. Twice a year, 15 special needs children from remote areas are flown to Adelaide where they visit the zoo, go to the movies or the museum, eat at McDonalds and then return home, all at the Club’s expense. Members are not forgotten either, with giveaways throughout the year, great prizes on offer and a member’s incentive scheme every July. This year the grand prize was a Mitsubishi Lancer ES, which was won by Gary Butterfield. With their fingers in so many worthy pies, the Roxby Downs Community Club is an organisation which the community can be proud of.

Red devils hit Roxby Downs A couple of mean machines rumbled into town this week. Boasting an impressive 21 and 28 horse power respectively and able to reach speeds of 8kms an hour while cutting, the Toro Reelmaster and Groundmaster are set to have a big impact on the turf of Roxby Downs. Stevens Resources, who have been awarded the new contract for horticultural services in Roxby Downs, are justifiably proud of their new acquisitions. “Stevens Resources are committed to the community and we are really looking forward to this new partnership with the local council,” Site Manager for Stevens Resources, Paul Smith said. “We have invested in two new cars, a truck, new gardening equipment and of course the new lawn mowers.” The Groundmaster has rotary blades like an ordinary lawn mower, but is much, much bigger. “The Groundmaster cuts longer grass, goes over rougher terrain and is more manouvarable,” Officer of the Roxby Downs Council, Peter Keller said. “It’s a real go getter.” The Reelmaster has reel cutting blades and gives a much neater finish and is the kind of lawn mower that is used on bowling greens to provide a really smooth surface. So if you feel the ground trembling in Roxby Downs in the coming weeks, do not be alarmed … it’s probably just the new mean, green cutting machines, and the Stevens Resources crew on the job.
