Characters come to life for Book Week

As the Mad Hatter and Alice, Tamborine Mountain State School principal Jason Smith and deputy principal Jo de Bruyn were perfect bookends for some of the other costumed characters who celebrated Book Week last week. This identity parade also included Pinocchio, De Seuss’ Cat in the Hat, the Queen of Hearts and Little Red Riding Hood. Hundreds of students from Prep to Year 7, as well as their teachers, joined in the fancy dress fun, coming as characters from their favourite books and comics.

Historic ‘Do It Yourself’ plaque to be preserved

half a century after it was put in place, a directional plaque commemorating the construction of Tamborine Mountain’s famous ‘Do It Yourself’ road has been presented to the local Historical Society for preservation. The plaque was originally installed at Jenyns Lookout on MacDonnell Road in honour of the many local residents who took on the herculean task of constructing a road down the mountain to provide a much needed link to the coast. By 1958 the population on Tamborine Mountain had grown to many hundreds and children needed to attend high school in Southport. A road to the coast was required but no help was forthcoming from either State or local governments. It was then that a number of enterprising local residents decided the only solution was to build the road themselves. With a bulldozer, picks and shovels, Edmund Curtis and son Raymond, together with Bill and John Geissmann, went to work. Other residents helped with the many jobs

required and before long a rough track was opened along the MacDonnell Ridge down to the foot of the mountain. In July 1958 the Tamborine Mountain Progress Association (TMPA) took over the co-ordination of road building and associated activities and Edmund Curtis became president soon after. The association decided to publish a news sheet to disseminate information on the project and as a result, the first issue of the Tamborine Mountain News was published in November 1958. The ‘Do It Yourself’ road was eventually sealed after a special grant was received from the State Government and it was officially opened on 5 November, 1966. Over the years the Jenyns Lookout plaque had been offensively graffitied. It has now been cleaned and restored and because many of the directional views are no longer visible from the lookout, it has been placed in the Historical Society’s rooms where it will be preserved and kept on display for the public to see.

Greg’s bottled milk the crème de la crème S CENIC Rim 4Real Milk has become the toast of south-east Queensland, with dairy farmer Greg Dennis now struggling to meet the demand for his product. Bottling of Scenic Rim 4Real Milk began eight weeks ago and is now fully allocated, stocked in 123 stores and cafes around South East Queensland. Demand for milk in 750ml glass bottles is three times the original forecast and pasteurised, unhomogenised milk with the cream on top comprises 85 per cent of Greg’s milk sales. Demand has been so great that many stores sell out the same day their delivery arrives and there are 50 stores on a waiting list to stock Greg’s milk. The Scenic Rim 4Real Milk Facebook page has helped to whip up interest. Posts have included Greg’s milk travelling around Australia; pictures of empty glass bottles which didn’t make it home; a huge range of milk-based recipes; images of pets lapping up the product and of children who have discovered the taste of real milk. “I’ve been totally overwhelmed by the demand and the support we’ve received, both from shops and our customers,” said Greg. “It’s actually quite humbling. I think we’ve just tapped into a desire among consumers to go back to basics ... real food, minimally processed, with all the goodness intact. “It’s incredible the amount of enthusiasm people have been showing for our unhomogenised, cream on top milk – it’s 85 per cent of our sales – and glass bottles, which we predicted would make up 10 per cent of our market, are currently making up 30 per cent of all bottles sold.” With demand increasing by the week, Greg is considering bringing on other local dairy farmers in the future and helping them to stay in the industry by paying a fair price for their milk which would be processed at his farm. “We’ve proven customers want fresh, minimally processed milk delivered straight to their local store or cafe within days,” said Greg.

Greg Dennis took one of his robotic milking models to this year’s Ekka where his demonstrations and information sessions became one of the most popular attractions in the livestock section, while his distinctive black and white Holstein cows proved a big hit with the city kids.

“Importantly, they are prepared to pay a fair price, too, for good quality produce.”

The Jazz of Parenting Dear Geoff, I like jazz, at least some of it. I am not a musician but have come to appreciate some of the skill of the art and the intricacies of music. Improvisation is an important part of jazz, perhaps even essential. Taking musical forms and creating freedom within them. I imagine it must be exhilarating to be able to play jazz. Exhilarating is not a word we would readily use in the context of parenting but improvising, creating freedom with form is a part of parenting. Some of us tend to create parenting structures and expectations that are way too rigid for kids; some of us step in the other direction and think that structure is stifling to children’s creativity. Some kind of balance is what we usually end up trying to achieve. Christian parenting is subject to the same challenges as parenting in general. Christians do not give birth to angelic beings. When we talk about ‘childhood innocence’ we are usually referring to the fact that children lack the means, in their early life, to get into much trouble. We do not mean that they won’t. How early can we lie to our mum or dad? We at least need language skills to pull it off. So we have a challenge in parenting, perhaps one of our most important challenges in life. A good balance between form and freedom, a good improvisation on a theme, is to teach and model the 10 commandments as you

raise your kids. I know that this might seem archaic at first glance but which of the 10 would you say is no longer valid? (Can you remember them?). Stealing, lying, etc? I know that they were written as a religious and civil code but they still ring true for many people. Even many non-Christians will teach their kids some of the basic moral commandments. The 10 commandments are further simplified in two categories by Jesus ..... love God and love your neighbour. These two dynamics are integrally related and as we raise our kids we will need to improvise from the 10 commandments to the specific situations that we are dealing with. Almost all of our moral thoughts and actions are covered by one or more of the 10. Not only will we be correcting our kids’ behaviour but we will also need to be explaining to them why it needs correction and that it is not just dad and mum’s opinion or mood. We will have opportunity to explain that our issues begin in our hearts, inside us, like the last commandment about coveting. I know it is much easier to say these things than do them but if you are stuck, frustrated a bit, try simplifying the rules. God gave us 10 and they are all we need to improvise on as we raise our kids in the myriad of experiences that they will encounter. Your Brother, Kim

TRAVELLING PLACES with Gina ALI conjures up many images in our Bto offer minds. To me it is a near neighbour with a lot for a holiday. I hadn’t been since my 20’s

and was surprised when I visited recently to see what Bali has to offer. I really enjoyed this Asian getaway. After a short 6 hour flight you are transported to a different world. Seminyak has evolved into a trendy area for visitors with great boutiques, restaurants, hotels and beaches. Sanur to the east was the first beach destination in Bali and still offers a relaxed atmosphere with a coral rimmed beach – perfect for snorkelling. Kuta is hectic and fun for the young at heart. To the south are the gated communities of Nusa Dua and Uluwatu – here you will find fabulous exclusive beach resorts where you will be pampered and indulged. The cultural aspect of Bali is fascinating with its predominantly Hindu population. You often come across ceremonies with fragrant flowers and the colour of traditional dress. Drive up through verdant green rice terraces to the cultural centre of Ubud where the markets are bustling with arts and crafts. Linger on a secluded beach in the far north in Lovinia or the quiet beachside township of Candi Dasa. Grab a driver and car to explore the centre of the island where villages abound, temples pop up around virtually every corner, and the local pace of life is relaxed. If you have the time enjoy a few days on nearby Lombok which is more like the Bali of yesteryear. If you are after a great value holiday with an exotic feel then it really is hard to beat Bali. The restaurants are good and reasonably priced and you can shop till you drop on a shoe string. Come into the office or call for a chat – Lyn and I have both been there in recent years and we would love to help design your Bali dream holiday.

Horse Dentist Available for appointment on Tamborine Mountain and surrounds

ALL BREEDS • Horses should have their teeth looked at once or twice a year, depending on their diet and the purpose for which they are being used. • Sharp teeth can cause cuts and ulcerations in the mouth, resulting in poor digestion and diminished performance. Behavioural problems can also occur. • Whether it’s a working horse, pleasure horse or just the family pet, their teeth need to be maintained regularly.

Cheeky Saggy Bottom Scarecrows back again

ARGY Rose will again lead the Saggy Bottom Scarecrows in their meanderings through Main Street and Gallery Walk during this year’s annual Scarecrow Festival on October 18–20. There’s nothing scary about this troupe, however, as they warble and trill, strum and hum to the delight of the crowds. “We love performing, but really love it even more when people join in, because music and happiness is infectious,” said Margy. In the lead-up to Scarecrow Festival, the scaregals are getting together to plan and tweek their strawsome outfits. A hessian shirt might need new big bright buttons, saggy trousers may need new patches and straw stuffing might need trimming. It’s all in a fun day’s work when the girls help each other, sharing ideas and crafty bits. It’s a hoot when neighbours, friends or groups get together to work on a

Scarecrow. Brain-straw-ming results in weird, wonderful and clever idea, especially with the categories sponsored in this year’s competition. “I’d encourage little and big kids to get some scarecrow gear on and join in the fun. There’s the Kids for Kids Concert, the Main Street Party and the weekend’s activities. That’s plenty of great opportunities for everyone to let their hair down, take up their instruments and play, sing or perform,” said Margy. If you are a magician, a ventriloquist, a contortionist or a comedian, or simply have a talent or yearning to make people smile, join those who have already registered for this year’s Scarecrow Festival.

Tamborine Mtn Police News by Sen. Const. Scott Guerin, North Tamborine Police

T appears Sgt Jones is too busy fishing to do the current police report so Gwen has asked me to pen a quick column for the paper. Next time you see Mick be sure to ask him how the fish were biting. It’s nice to see a bit of fine weather for the end of winter but the fine weather seems to have brought on some poor driving, with officers from this station issuing a number of speeding fines. It also served as a timely reminder to check the condition of your vehicles, with a number of vehicles being detected with roadworthy issues. Current speeding fines are: Less than 13km/h over the speed limit, $146 with 1 point 13-20 km/h, $220 with 3 demerit points 21-30 km/h, $366 with 4 demerit points 31-40 km/h, $513 with 6 demerit points Greater than 40 km/h, $1026 with 8 demerit points and 6 month loss of licence SCHOOLS PARKING STILL AN ISSUE Parking at the schools in the morning and afternoon is still an issue. A majority of parents do the right thing which is good to see, but there are those few who appear too lazy to simply drive to a ‘lawful’ parking area and walk their kids to school, preferring to park in no stopping areas or bus zones. The schools are pretty well signed so there should be no issues here. GIVE WAY TO EMERGENCY VEHICLES PLEASE After viewing a recent TV program regarding drivers not giving way to emergency vehicles, I know the Mountain emergency services vehicles have the same issues with vehicles not moving out of their way. If you see a fire truck, ambulance or police vehicle with lights and/or sirens on, please remember that they are afforded priority travel on our roads. It is an offence not to give way to these vehicles. The ticket that can be issued is worth $256 and 3 points.

If you are travelling on the road and an emergency vehicle is behind you with lights and or siren activated, please indicate your intention to move out of the way, and move out of the way as soon as is safe to do so. If we see your indicator on, it signals the driver that you have in fact seen and/or heard them. SMASHED GLASS, GRAFFITI AT TMSHS Please get out your respective feelers and ears to the ground to help us solve who went to the school and smashed glass and spraypainted profanity last weekend (overnight on Saturday/Sunday morning). Someone will no doubt talk (brag about it) and it would be nice to hold those responsible accordingly. Very immature, and if the perpetrators are reading this shame-shame-shame ... very ordinary behaviour! PENDANT NECKLACE TO HELP CAREFLIGHT This unique pendant necklace was designed by local jewellery designer ‘Leisha’ to help with fundraising for RACQ Careflight through the Tamborine Mountain Charity Golf Day on September 13. ‘Leisha’s’ designs are well-known in Europe and Asia. This particular piece features a 29ct teardrop shaped, simulated golden sapphire set in a solid gold cage and includes a brilliant cut diamond on the clasp. This item will be one of many to be auctioned after the golf presentation. If you can’t play on the day, you can always buy raffle tickets from the station prior to the event, or turn up at St Bernard’s Hotel in the evening for the presentation, raffles and auctions. If you are a lucky raffle winner, you will be able to select your own prize then and there.

Councillor’s Comment NIGEL WAISTELL – DIVISION 1

COUNCIL PLANNING SCHEME Council is in the process of amalgamating its three planning schemes into one. The first phase of community consultation is nearly complete and the second phase will be a series of community workshops/forums. The dates are not yet available. I have been advised that we will receive three weeks’ notice of the dates. STATE PLANNING SCHEME The State Government has produced a draft State Planning Policy which was distributed for community consultation. There was disappointment at how limited the community consultation was and even more disappointment that the Government has declared that there will be no further community consultation. Councillors though, had an opportunity to discuss their views and concerns with Government Departmental Officers on 23 August. I expressed my objection to the greenfield sites of Erin View and Markwell Creek being declared Key Resource Areas. I sought an assurance that Council’s role in deciding on development applications within the Key Resource Areas would not be affected and this was confirmed. In addition, I also was seeking an assurance that property owners within the boundaries would not be disadvantaged and it was confirmed that single dwellings within the separation areas and boundaries would still be allowed. We now have to wait and see whether or not the many submissions have had an effect on the final policy which will be released towards the end of the year. BUDGET My budget address stated that the 6.90 per cent rate rise was too high and I requested that a review of expenditure be conducted early in the financial year. If rates were to rise by 3.90 per cent next year, Council would have to reduce expenditure by approximately $1millon. I believe that it would be a good exercise for the Council Executive team to identify now and prioritise $1million in savings from expenditure with the proviso that maintenance of assets would not be compromised. I have now discussed this concept with Councillors in formal discussions and I now look forward to further discussions with the Council Executive team. COMMUNICATION Communication is a key performance indicator in any business. I believe that there are areas of Council’s communication which could be improved and these are: • Community members receiving a timely response; • The response should be meaningful; and • Follow up communication is monitored and actioned. I have raised my thoughts with Councillors in formal discussions and I now look forward to further discussion with the Council Executive team. CONSULTATION The next consultation in the library will be on Monday 9 September, 4pm to 5pm. Please note the change of timings. I am also available for one-on-one meetings at your convenience. My contact details are: Home: 07 5545 0223; Mobile: 0423 931 075; Email: npw1@sctelco.net.au; and nigel.w@scenicrim.qld.gov.au

Outback artist Arthur Hamblin

Meet outback artist Arthur Hamblin

UTBACK artist Arthur Hamblin owes much to his own experiences and the many characters he has seen in his travels. His paintings evoke the heat, space and colour of the outback – the searing effect of the sun, the thick dry dust, the smallness of man against the elements. This Father’s Day weekend you have the opportunity to meet Arthur in person. Arthur has an abundance of stories and welcomes the opportunity to share his experiences of the outback with you at Cedar Creek Estate Winery. He’ll be there from 11am to 3pm on Saturday 31 August and Sunday 1 September. While at the winery, you can also taste its latest chocolate port, Another Brew, named after one of Arthur’s paintings which will be the prize for some lucky purchaser of the new product. The painting, valued at $7500, is

featured in miniature form on the label of each bottle of port and has been donated by the artist as a fund-raiser. The name of everyone who purchases a bottle will go into a draw that will be announced when all of the bottles have been purchased. As well as meeting Arthur this weekend, you can also visit his art gallery which is located at the winery, 104-144 Hartley Road, North Tamborine. The $4 net profit from each of the 7500 bottles of the winery’s new chocolate port will go towards the Griffith University’s School of Glycomics. The School of Glycomics is the only one of its kind in Australia and only one of six in the world. Its research into carbohydrate chains, glycans, may help solve the medical mysteries of cancer, diabetes, infectious diseases, inflammation and immune disorders.

TM State School awarded SunSmart status

AMBORINE Mountain State School has been awarded SunSmart status and scored a carton of free sunscreen after registering in Cancer Council Queensland’s National SunSmart schools program. The free program encourages schools to develop SunSmart policies to keep children safe from increased sun exposure, reducing their long-term risk of skin cancer. Tamborine Mountain State School was one of several schools in Queensland that won a carton of Cancer Council SPF30 sunscreen after registering in the program earlier this year. Cancer Council Queensland spokesperson, Katie Clift, said Tamborine Mountain’s SunSmart status would protect students, and help reduce their risk of skin cancer. “It’s wonderful to see Tamborine

14 – TAMBORINE MOUNTAIN NEWS VOL. 1360, 27 AUGUST, 2013

Mountain State School prioritising the health of their school children as a leading example to other Queensland primary schools in becoming SunSmart,” she said. “Only 30 per cent of the state’s primary schools are currently registered with the National SunSmart schools program – we would love to welcome more schools. “Those awarded SunSmart status will receive the iconic SunSmart metal sign, a SunSmart certificate, access to free resources, SunSmart Shop discounts and much more – including the knowledge that approved policies are in place to protect schoolkids from harmful UV exposure.” In Australia, two in three people will be diagnosed with skin cancer by the time they are 70.

TMSS Principal, Jason Smith, leave his mark on the high five wall.

High five strategy a very handy tool

You Tube video can often be part of a bullying problem, but at Tamborine Mountain State School it is part of the solution. The school’s anti-bullying rap was posted on You Tube when the school launched its recent community campaign to combat bullying and principal, Jason Smith, hopes it will go viral. The video combines snappy dance routines and catchy lyrics to convey the message that bullying is ‘nasty and cruel, it affects everybody and it’s just not cool’. Mr Smith said bullying was a community problem and that everyone needed to work together to ensure the school and the wider community remains a safe place to be. A focus group, including teachers,

students, the school’s adopt-a-cop, a parent and a paediatrician was established earlier this year to review the school’s anti-bullying practices. “The aim was to research the latest data and successful school programs in order to develop our own strategies for supporting victims and educating the bystanders and the bullies, said Mr Smith. “We are committed to ensuring that our Anti-Bullying Campaign is driven by the students and reviewed regularly to maintain currency.” Recognising that bullying is a community concern, the school created a high five wall, where painted handprints would affirm its stance on bullying. Footnote: By the end of last week the You Tube rap had received around 1500 hits.

Student volunteers in winning way

ATIONAL Student Volunteer Week earlier this month highlighted the opportunity for local high school and university students to connect with their local community. Tamborine Mountain Community Care started its own student volunteer program this year, and it has been a win/win for the Mountain’s young people and the organisation. During school holidays, students have been involved with centre-based day care,

administration, social support, fundraising through market parking and as bus assistants. All of the students who have participated in the program have gained new skills and connected with other members of the community, and are keen to continue in their roles. Anyone interested in becoming a student volunteer at Community Care should contact the Volunteers Coordinator, Jo Holden, on 5545 4968.

Students urged to apply for Anzac tour EMBER for Beaudesert, Jon Krause, is urging all Year 8 to 11 students to apply for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to travel to Gallipoli and the Western Front. The 2014 Premier’s Anzac Prize offers students the chance to travel to Turkey as part of a study tour to see where the Anzac legend began. “For a chance at this amazing trip, students need to create a two to five minute multi-media presentation discussing how the Anzac tradition has shaped our nation, why it’s still important, and how future generations can keep the tradition alive. “Any teachers with an interest in history

and the Anzacs tradition can also apply to go as chaperones for the students. They don’t need to be teachers of winning students to apply.” Winning students and teacher chaperones for the 2014 Anzac Prize will be announced before the end of this school year. Entries close on Friday 20 September with five student places available in the 2014 Premier’s Anzac Prize. For more information, or to download application forms or access the student resources, please visit www.education.qld.gov.au/anzac-prize

Susan and Ray Cantrell are re-locating to Armidale. Members are hoping there will be opportunities to migrate to the mountain for a meeting night.

One small place on earth

Spinning Top Fungus – Microporus xanthopus, Palm Grove National Park Marks & Gardner Gallery & Bookshop

Café & Contemporary Art Open Wed-Sun 9am-4pm PH 5545 4992 69 Main Western Rd, North Tamborine

HE fungus is a tropical species found on rotting wood in the Australasian, Asian and African tropics, but is absent in the American tropics. The young fruiting bodies resemble earthenware goblets. The first time I saw them was on a small, fallen branch in a reserve in North Tamborine. My camera was a 10 minute walk away, so I resolved to return in a day or two, only to find that the fungi had gone. I was filming a fungus in the same area a year later and how lucky was I, quite close by were the ‘goblet’ fungi. That is the beauty of my project. Because I live here and only film here, I am often rewarded with a second chance and the opportunity to do better next time. Frames from video footage celebrating Tamborine Mountain’s biodiversity.

Permits required for fuel reduction burns

IRE-FIGHTERS are urging landowners to prioritise reducing their bushfire risk ahead of the coming fire season. Rural Fire Service Queensland (RFSQ) South Eastern acting regional manager, Tony Johnstone, said current weather conditions were favourable for hazard reduction activities and landowners could conduct their own burns following the issue of a permit. He said landholders wanting to light a fire in the open should seek advice from their local fire warden as a permit may be required. “The Permit to Light a Fire system is enforced by the Queensland Fire and Rescue Service to ensure burns are conducted at an appropriate time of the year, are suitably managed and planned, and emergency services are notified,” said Mr Johnstone. “Permits are required at all times for a fire which is bigger than two metres in any direction. They are free and can be obtained from your local fire warden. “They come with clear guidelines on when you can light the fire and what precautions will need to be taken, including the provision of informing neighbours of planned burns. “Tough penalties apply for people who light fires without a permit.” To locate your local fire warden, access the Fire Warden Finder tool on the Rural Fire Service Queensland website, or contact your local area office. Details are available at www.ruralfire.qld.gov.au .

Funding supports local culture

HE State electorate of Beaudesert will receive a $43,333 grant in State Government funding for local arts and cultural projects. Member for Beaudesert, Jon Krause, said the grant had been made to the Scenic Rim Council through the Regional Arts Development Fund which is a state-wide partnership between the Queensland Government and local councils. Mr Krause said the Scenic Rim Council would contribute an additional $30, 000 as part of its commitment to the fund. A Council spokesperson said the funds would be used to support local arts and culture, and funding would be available for professional development, workshops, research and arts and cultural projects focusing on community, heritage and tourism. Application details can be obtained from the council.

NO WAITING AS STEVE RECOVERS FROM CYCLING ACCIDENT As many of your readers will be aware, Tamborine Mountain Physiotherapy’s Steve Schamburg was injured recently in a bad fall from his bicycle. He is making a good recovery but will be away from work for a number of weeks. In the meantime, he is being ably covered in his absence by

local physiotherapist, Peta Weisfelt, so it is business as usual at the practice with no waits for appointments. We would like to thank everyone for their continued support and especially their best wishes for Steve as he recovers. Gary and Maria Brooks

TM College students’ trip to the snow

group of 29 Tamborine Mountain College students and teachers recently hit the snowy slopes of Mt Hotham in Victoria for the college’s biennial snow trip. They enjoyed five full days on the slopes and had the choice of either skiing or snowboarding during a week of clear days and good snow fall.

24 – TAMBORINE MOUNTAIN NEWS VOL. 1360, 27 AUGUST, 2013

On the last day of the trip the students spent a day in Melbourne where one group visited the zoo and the other took a tour of Melbourne’s laneways – a real eye-opener for some of the students to be in a bustling city and riding on trams. The trip was an exciting chance for students to travel, learn new skills and develop stronger relationships.

Tennis finals produce worthy winners

HE weather was perfect for TMTC’s inaugural club championship finals. Jay Harvey got the barbecue going, everyone cracked open their favourite drinks and took their seats in the sun in keen anticipation of an afternoon of fine tennis. They weren’t to be disappointed. Ladies’ final: Kay Nunn v Sue Phillips A very tight start to the match saw the first game go to two deuces and the second to three deuces. Kay just prevailed in both games and with the psychological buffer of a 2-0 lead; she seemed to find an extra gear. Kay won Sue’s next service game to 15 and then comfortably held her own serve for 40. Kay again broke to love in the fifth game and then served out the match for a 60 win. In winning, Kay confirmed her last year’s title of player of the year and remains the club player to beat. All credit to Sue who fought valiantly all the way but was unlucky to meet Kay on a day when she was at her faultless best. Sue bravely ran down every point and impressed with a technique that has to make her an eventual champion on the mountain. Men’s final: Neil Fisher v John Staffsmith The men’s final was a three-set thriller. Set one saw John go into a 2-0 lead only for Neil to peg him back to 2-2 following three deuces in the fourth game. Games were traded to 4-4. Neil went into a 5-4 lead with a fine service game and then broke

from 40-0 down to take the first set 6-4. John’s head might have gone down after his first set lost; not a jot of it. The second set saw games traded to 4-4. Neil served the only ace of the game in the ninth game but a couple of double faults in the same game allowed John to take the game and the lead 5-4. Four first serves in the next game gave John the set 6-4 and it was all down to the deciding set. Neil came out the stronger with a service game to 15, while John needed to go to deuce to square at 1-1. Neil served to love to make it 2-1 but then John served his own love game to make it 2-2. John broke serve for 3-2 and comfortably held for 4-2. In the next game, a game point to Neil went begging, giving John deuce and then the game and clear blue water at 5-2. It was all he needed as he served out the match with the calm consistency that is his trademark. Congratulations to both players for treating the audience to the finest tennis of the championships. Thanks to umpire Mike Davis and to John Reedy from the Catholic Church for allowing us to use their toilets. In particular, our thanks go to club secretary Helen Staffsmith who organised the food and did all the other organisational heavy lifting. Liz Cowan secured the magnificent trophies. Henry Rich
