Fleurieu Folk Festival

One of Australia’s most acclaimed troubadours Jordie Lane heads a stellar line up of artists announced for the 2013 Fleurieu Folk Festival. Lane joins 60 local, national and international acts booked to perform at South Australia’s premier folk festival to be held at Willunga on October 25-27. They include Canadian singer songwriter Old Man Luedecke, The Seals from West Australia, Siskin River from New South Wales and a strong Victorian contingent including Richard Perso and Danny Spooner as well as South Australian favourites The Borderers and Spiral Dance and Chris Finnen. Fleurieu Folk Festival organizer Peter Thornton said the artist line-up, selected from a record number of applications this year, was brimming with talent. “With the breadth of performers in this year’s program, it promises to be one of the most exciting and fun festivals we’ve ever staged,” he said. “Each year the bar is lifted. We had more than 300 applications to play at the festival this year so we were really spoilt for choice. A high calibre artist like Jordie Lane is proof that the next generation of folk and roots musicians in Australia is really taking the baton and running with it.” The festival will once again feature a strong representation of young and emerging performers, including The Mae Trio – winners of the 2013 Folk Alliance Australia National Youth Showcase - as well as other festival favourites. “We’re bringing back the blues concert on Saturday night which will feature some of the best blues performers around. There will also be free

workshops, blackboard concerts and jam sessions so anyone can join in,” he said. Thousands of people attended the Fleurieu Folk Festival last year for a weekend packed with music concerts and sessions, dance, workshops, children’s entertainment and stalls. Adult tickets are only $60 for a weekend pass (accompanied children U15 are free). Tickets are available online at Dramatix.

-----Ozfeathers “Flying High” in Sydney

History Repeats on Bondi Beach

OzFeathers' designer, Linda Sanders, recently scooped the "Flying High" Award at "Festival of the Winds", Bondi Beach 7 & 8 September 2013 for her China-themed kite and feather banners. Linda's last Bondi competition entry was in 2003, which also won a First Place Award, proving that the ten year gap hasn't dampened her skills, but rather, helped them to mature. Festival of the Winds is an annual Cultural Festival, now in its 36th year, where kite flyers invade the world famous beach, displacing the many bikinis and Speedos, for two days only. Waverley Council By-Laws prohibit the use of kites, frisbees and balls for the remaining 363 days. ------Thank you The Willunga Circle of Friends wish to thank all donors and members in the Community who generously supported the Garage Sale on Saturday 14th September. Unfortunately at the last

minute the sale had to be held in the Willunga Recreational hall due to the fickle weather. The funds raised will be used to support five refugees in the Community who attend the Thebarton Senior College. To raise further funds a Quiz Night is scheduled to be held on Saturday 16th November 2013. Kind regards, John Bennett. Convenor. Willunga Circle of Friends -------

As you would all know an event like this doesn’t happen without the generous support of its community members; volunteering time and materials. That is why we’re calling on you to help our Willunga175 Celebrations start on a fabulous high by decorating our town on JANUARY 25th, 2014. What we’re asking of you is just an hour or two of your time. Every little bit helps. We have a great time and who knows you may meet someone you never knew lived in the town and become friends. The following dates are when we need your help: November 2 & 4 – Bamboo cutting and trimming

Dust off the nun’s outfits, loosen the vocal chords and release your inner Von Trapp as Cinemallunga presents The Sound of Music – singalong style. All the old-style movie trappings – popcorn, tray-girls and intermission fun can be expected, as well as a live band, weiner sizzle and licenced bar. This classic G rated film is presented as part of the Every Generation Festival and is an ideal night out for all ages. Tickets are expected to sell out quickly and may be purchased from October 1st from Aldinga Beach Newsagency, Chocolate Box in McLaren Vale or Tall Poppy in Willunga. So if a little light yodelling is your thing on a Saturday night, set aside Sat Oct 19th at 6:30 in your diary. The Willunga Show Hall, opposite the Alma Hotel, is the venue with proceeds from the night going towards Cinemallunga’s upgrade of this great old venue. More details are available on Cinemallunga’s Facebook page or by contacting cinemallunga@gmail.com or phoning 0439 687 281 ------Willunga Down Under 2014 In 2014 Willunga will celebrate its 175th Anniversary; the SANTOS Tour Down Under (TDU) is the first event of the celebrations.

-----Grow seedlings to help South Australia’s environment Trees For Life is looking for volunteers to grow native seedlings this summer. Through the award-winning Tree Scheme, volunteers are asked to grow and care for the seedlings for landholders and revegetation projects in South Australia. The Tree Scheme operates by annual seedling orders being taken for landholders, councils, government projects and private enterprise, with Trees For Life then linking up orders with volunteer growers. Trees For Life provides all the propagation materials – seed varieties, tubes, boxes, soil and mulch – free to volunteers, along with easy-to-follow instructions. Once sown and raised, seedlings are handed over for planting in the winter months.

Call Sue on 8556 7314 when you’ve decided to contribute, either your time or by donating any of the above mentioned materials and we’ll send you details of Days, Times and what equipment is needed. Ciao, Sue Caporn-March Willunga Business & Tourism Association 2014 Tour Down Under Décorating Committee Continues on back page

--------

The seedlings provide food and habitat for our native wildlife, help counteract some of South Australia’s Greenhouse gas emissions and help rehabilitate land that has been degraded. Each year volunteers raise hundreds of thousands of seedlings in a bid to help continue to revegetate SA, and with the community’s support, Trees For Life is again hoping to reach this target. Those interested in volunteering don’t need to have a green thumb – it’s a perfect way for people to do something positive to help our environment, it’s free and it’s a feel-good experience! People interested in becoming a volunteer grower can phone the office on 8406 0500 or log onto the Trees For Life website: www.treesforlife.org.au -------Mayor’s Update A couple of items from the Mayors August update. These reports go up on Facebook and Twitter for you to send widely. 1. Local Government Mutual Liability Scheme - Congratulations to staff for another excellent result in the Mutual Liability Risk Management Review. The organisation has scored well in all areas resulting in a saving of $259,328 for insurances. 3. Water Proofing the South - The launch of the final stage of the Byards Road wetlands occurred on the 29 August 2013. This signals the completion of Stage 2 works. On behalf of Council I wish to congratulate staff and contractors for the result. This project harvests 2.8 billion litres of stormwater for reuse. Stage 2 covers four suburbs in the north of our City and has 17 kilometres of pipework. The wetlands of both this stage and stage 1

at Hart Road Aldinga Beach, Seaford Rise and Christies Creek are well worth a visit. 6. SA Coastal Conference - I am looking forward to officially opening the inaugural SA Coastal Conference on 30 September. This conference runs between 30 September and 1 October, being opened by a Local Government representative recognises the amazing amount of work done by Councils throughout South Australia.

Willunga 175 Willunga’s 175th anniversary is fast approaching and the Organising committee, having established a program of events, is now starting to organise committees to plan and run several of the events. The committee believes the program will enable the celebrations to highlight the past, present and the future of Willunga – a wonderful place to live.

7. Visitor Guide - The Visitor Guide was launched and promoted it and our City all week at the Royal Adelaide Show.

We are now seeking volunteers to be part of one of the committees and assist with the event.

8. China Investment - I first raised this with Council a few months ago and it has moved very quickly. We have a potential delegation from Changli County and Hebei Province visiting in November this year. We have put forward a bid to host a sand sculpture competition on Christies Beach in November to coincide with our Wine and Food Festival and Christmas Pageant. If all this happens during the delegation visit it is sure to excite them to the tourism and trade possibilities within our City.

If you would like be part of the organisation of an event or wish to discuss this further please feel free to contact any of the committee members whose details are listed below.

21. We are currently piloting an edevelopment application process to allow a paperless process. Waiting for results. -------

Willunga Cricket Club

Congratulations to Willunga High Ice Hockey Team the Raiders who competed in the recent Schools State Championships at the Ice Arena. Moving from Division 2 to Division 1 was a big jump but the players were able to handle the pressure and improve their team work, skating skills and discipline. Two players received encouragement awards, Carl Ridsdale and Coen Stephenson and Ryan Phillips-Lock was inducted in to the Ice Hockey Hall of Fame, the highest Ice Hockey award. The team finished in 5th place but claimed a brilliant victory over the eventual Champion Team in a nail biting penalty shootout, with goalie Sam Kaplin being the star of the win with brilliant saves. -------

Willunga Football Club Footy Wrap UP Well the Finals are over and Willunga managed to snag their fourth Reserves Premiership in a row by defeating McLaren Football Club but the Senior Colts and “A” grade flags eluded us once again. The Reserves had another great year with only two losses and considering how they struggled at times for players, they played a great style of hard footy that is always a pleasure to watch. The Senior Colts cruised through the year with just one loss and were beaten in the last game by Victor who always has great depth in the Colts sides. The “A” grade had a bit of a roller coaster ride. Round 1 they came out fighting and defeated the reigning premiers. Round 2 we saw the boys absolutely tear Victor apart. We lost

round 3 possibly because we underestimated the opposition, not realising the GSFL has improved so much and so quickly, with all the other clubs still using us as the bench mark of this great competition. That meant there were no easy wins, no weak opponents and that’s what makes this league great. After an uncharacteristic two losses in a row the “A”s got a big wakeup call about where the competition was travelling and if they wanted to be successful they had to lift the work rate, change attitudes and not just go through the motions. Congratulations to the boys. The next four rounds made the supporters stand up & smile with pride, despite the injury list growing.

side was testament to that. A special mention to Jonathon Cook. Remember this name as this lad won the Association Best and Fairest medal in the Senior Colts with a whopping 44 votes. Congratulations Cooky.

Willunga Netball Club

The second half of the season showed how tight the competition is. Willunga had three very close losses, which should have reminded the guys that you could not afford to lose concentration. But the big upside to this was they took a couple of big scalps, plus had three big wins which set them up for a great finals campaign.

AGM Monday 30th Sept 7pm at the Alma Hotel. If you are interesting in joining our committee there are a number of positions avail-able. It would be great to see some fresh faces and ideas.

Unfortunately even though the scores were tied with less than a minute to go Encounter Bay over ran the Demons to take the flag. But boy what a game it was. It had high marking, solid tackling, long free runs and some great ruckwork.

People of all skill levels are catered for and all equipment is provided. All matches are in the Show Hall in the Willunga Recreation Centre. If you wish to play in the 10 weeks of competition, ring John Nixon on 85565950 or Darryl Peters on 85964128. --------

Willunga “A” grade has played in 9 Grand Final in the last ten years and taken home 6 flags (straight) so all members should be proud of the guys that take the field every week. And of course Mitch Portlock who won the Mail Medal (“A” grade Best and Fairest) last year, was runner up this season…. just a magnificent, consistent and skilful player. And watch out for the Juniors that are coming through. Willunga has a fantastic reputation for bringing up players through the ranks and this years “A” grade
