DO yourself and your kids a favour these school holidays and get down to Go Jump Trampolines! Relax with a barista made coffee and enjoy the free Wifi while your kids enjoy hours of entertainment.

Every day during the school holidays, the locally owned, family run Go Jump Trampoline Park will be open from 10am to 5pm (including the AFL Grand Final public

with hours of entertainment holiday and AFL Grand Final Day!). Go Jump has plenty on offer with over 900 square meters of trampolining fun and excitement, with basketball rings, dodgeball and more.

the smile on the kids faces while they burn off all that energy. Although it is so important to keep kids active these days, it can be sometimes difficult to motivate them to exercise. Here at Go Jump Trampolines they are having so much fun they don’t see it as exercise yet they get a great workout – all in

the name of fun!

“We also cater for after hours parties and functions and have dedicated party rooms for birthdays.”

Go Jump Trampolines can be found at 4 Joseph Baldwin Place, Shepparton or you can phone them on 5821 1699.

Shop locally to support a thriving community

THERE is nothing more important than shopping locally. Not only does it help to stimulate the local economy and support job growth, but it also helps to back local businesses, which are the lifeblood of any community and its continued success.

According to the latest statistics offered on the economy.id profile of Greater Shepparton, the 6,326 local businesses help to employ 30,390 residents and generate a Gross Regional Product output of $3.48B. As a part of that our local industries have an output

of $6,792.4M with retail trade contributing $318.6M and manufacturing contributing the most with an output on $1,178.8M. The local sales output of the region, which is the output

of local industries that is sold to local consumers, businesses and other organisations, generates $4,541.4M, with construction currently sitting on top of the leader board by industry generating $705M and retail trade generating $302.7M. With a strong local backing, businesses in the region can continue to thrive, which not only draws in outside trade and tourism but also ensures the future of Greater Shepparton.

Lisette said, “The pieces I make are all one-off, hand made and I use many traditional millinery methods.

“I’m loving it as I have always been a bit hands on with what I do.

“I started last year and won the Millinery Association Student of the Year award at the Melbourne Fashion Institute (where I gained a Certificate IV in Millinery), which gave me the opportunity to become a member of the Millinery Association of Australia.

“The first hat I entered into the Australian Millinery Association competition won the people’s choice award out of the 50 hats that were entered.

thrill excitement Enjoy the

and

of taking to the kart track THRILL SEEKERS… Watch on as the best in go karting take to the track at this thrilling event not to be missed. Photo: Supplied.

By David Lee I HAVE fond memories when I was a little tacker of my dad taking my siblings and I go karting in Shepparton, and the thrill of tearing around the track was something I looked forward to on our monthly visits.

You and your family can get the same thrill with the Goulburn Valley Kart Club.

Being the oldest established go kart club in Australia, the club is more than just a regular go kart club, as they host the Australasian Kart Titles.

Running for 29 years, the titles are one of the oldest go karting events held across the country and will see up to 1,000 spectators watch as 200 competitors take to the track in an exciting battle to win the illustrious Red Plate and a share in nearly $14,000 in cash prizes.

Club secretary, Ben Dealy said, “Our track was established in 1959 and we have had some big names race here during the titles including supercar drivers, Jamie Whincup, Greg Ritter, Nathan Pretty,

Steve Owen and Jason Bargwanna to name a few.

“The event is free to watch and it’s very exciting. This is one of the highest levels of karting in Australia.

“Go karting is a grassroots motorsport that is affordable and a great family sport.

“Children as young as seven can race and there is no age limit after that…in fact, we have a 72 year old club member who races every month.

“I encourage people to come along

to the titles or give us a call to talk about joining our club. You won’t regret it.”

The Australasian Kart Titles will run on September 22 and 23 at the Goulburn Valley Kart Club, Katamatite-Nathalia Road, Numurkah. A canteen will be available.

For further information on the event or on joining the Goulburn Valley Kart Club, visit karting.net.au, finding the Goulburn Valley Kart Club on Facebook or contact Ben on 0419 719 141.

Look and feel

fabulous with Carla

IF YOUR’E looking for that wow factor when it comes to your eyes and your lips, then local business FabYou By Carla has all you need to help you look and feel fabulous.

Being a certified lash technician with FabYouLash and delivering outstanding results for her clients for the past eight years, Carla Telford says she loves making women feel beautiful, which led her to begin FabYouLips, her second home-based business as a distributor for LipSense and other SeneGence products.

Carla said, “After watching a video on the LipSense range I immediately knew I needed these products in my life! I first purchased a red lippy and wore it to Wet ‘n’ Wild on holidays and I was immediately hooked. I couldn’t believe

that it really was smudge proof and lasted all day.

“The range comes in over 50 colours but because it’s liquid lip colour you can customise your colour to pretty much anything…the sky’s the limit.

“As well as the lash extensions and the LipSense products I also have a range of skin care and beauty products that are long lasting and great for your skin including foundations, eyeshadows, blush and mascara.

“I also offer a training course on lash extensions, which you can find more information about on my website.”
