AND DOWN CAME THE RAIN! Audible sighs of relief could be heard last Friday morning after reasonable rainfall was recorded by some in our district. Hopefully there’s more not too far away.

Observations by long time locals (aka old timers) is that our average

break date is 20th May, so 25th wasn’t too far out.

Chances are a few extra weather apps were being viewed in the last couple of weeks, trying to find one to smooth those furrowed brows.

Time to get that job done now and then grab a break and catch your breath before the next task. May your points last the rest of seeding, your hoses stay unblocked and your tyres stay pumped.

FROM THE EDITOR By the time you are reading this, dear reader, it might very well be winter! Bring. It. On. We had a good little session at the Club on Friday 25th May for our Thank-A-Volunteer Sundowner. There were lots of dedicated volunteers not there—so please accept THIS as a big THANK YOU for everything you contribute to our vibrant community. Those who were there enjoyed a drink on us and some delicious nibbles (thanks Ray from the Club Kitchen!). Thanks also to the Club for hosting us again, always so convenient and accommodating!

It’s a busy couple of weeks ahead on both the work and social calendars, events galore are detailed in the 30 pages following this one. There’s heaps of juicy content in this June edition, I hope you like reading. There are some notes from the Quairading Farmer’s Co-op worth reading and a bonus page from me about keeping your hard earned dollars local. We’re also extending a helping hand to our many local clubs to get your new constitutions in order, that three year window to update is nearing its end (check out page 44 and 45 for more info).

The time has come again for us to put a call out for phone book updates as we prepare to produce the 2018 edition of the local Quairading Phone Book and Business Directory. We update this book every two years and launch sales at the Quairading Ag Show (this year on Saturday 8th October).

We’ve included an update form at the back of this edition, simply fill out the info you’d like us to print in the book and deliver, post, email or carrier pigeon it to us (any method bar telepathy is fine). There’s also an online form on our website for you internet-ers. Updating this book is a massive job so we greatly appreciate your proactive and prompt updates.

Props to all y’all sports reporters, after a light on couple of months our sports pages (at the back of the Banksia Bulletin) are bursting at the seams with comprehensive reports from clubs aplenty—there’s always room for more though!

May you all have sufficient rainfall and dry firewood for the month ahead. Yes I would like it both ways.

Jill Hayes Editor, Banksia Bulletin Coordinator, Quairading CRC PS: We look even better on the internet!

You can view the FULL Banksia Bulletin online, every month, in a cool little flip booky thing on our website. The photos are in colour and some of the titles are too!

It’s a very visually pleasing experience, in my humble opinion.

Understanding the difference between Type 1 & Type 2 Diabetes Diabetes type 1 Type 1 diabetes is an auto-immune disease where the body's immune system attacks the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas. People with Type 1 diabetes cannot produce insulin and require lifelong insulin replacement for survival.

The disease can occur at any age, although it mostly occurs in children and young adults. Type 1 diabetes is sometimes referred to as 'juvenile onset diabetes' or 'insulin dependent diabetes'.

Diabetes type 2 Type 2 diabetes is associated with hereditary factors and lifestyle risk factors including poor diet, insufficient physical activity and being overweight or obese.

People with Type 2 diabetes may be able to manage their condition through lifestyle changes; however, diabetes medications or insulin replacement may also be required to control blood sugar levels. Type 2 diabetes occurs mostly in people aged over 40 years old; however, the disease is also becoming increasingly prevalent in younger age groups.

HARRISON WOODCOCK BALLET April and May 2018 Update

D

ance over the school holidays was very successful for Harrison, and lots of fun. Early in the first week he joined in a Boys Dance Class at WA Ballet, taught by Craig Lloyd Sole, Ballet Master, for the second time this year, which was such a great experience. He and Scarlett also attended a class later in the week. I love the fact that parents get to watch the classes and afterwards the students and parents get to go and watch the adult company do their dance classes, or rehearsals for about half an hour. Their strength and grace is amazing, and inspiring. Harrison really hopes to join them one day. If you are interested in watching the adult company of WA Ballet practice, just check the website ( https://waballet.com.au/whatson/open-friday/ ), they do have open public days.

He also competed in the Bayswater Festival of Dance, held at the Morley Recreation Centre over a week and half, and there were so many dancers, competing in many different genres and age groups. It never ceases to amaze me what children can do! The support of parents and families (and communities) are so important, as a three-minute performance piece takes many hours of training to build, and often you arrive at 7.30am to practice, and will not perform that 3-minute piece until 11 or 12 o’clock. Time is spent practicing, stretching, and networking! It was great for Harrison (and me) to catch up with three of his dance friends and families from when he was in the Nutcracker with WA Ballet in 2016.

Harrison took part in six pieces, his Classical Solo, which earned a PAGE 24

2nd out of 20 performers, his Lyrical solo won an Honourable Mention (or 4th out of 28), Demi Trio – won 1st place, Pas de Trois Classical Trio won 1st place, Jazz troupe won an Honourable Mention, and in a Lyrical Troupe which won 2nd place. Some of the dancing was so beautiful, I was hugely proud to be there watching him.

Ahead of him this term he has increased his dance training hours, so we are travelling to Toodyay five times a week. He has three competitions coming up in June, the Royal Academy of Dance Festival, DanceQuest, and AVAS (Avon Valley Arts Society – which is held in Northam), and on 1 July he and I fly to Melbourne for his Boys Intensive Dance Training at the Australian Ballet School. We have also been invited to attend the Lucie Saranova finals whilst we are there, a prestigious Ballet Competition where representatives from each state are chosen to compete in the Finals. I am expecting we shall see some truly amazing dancers.

We continue to be grateful for all the ways in which our community in Quairading and further afield, are supporting us. Words of encouragement and support mean so much, and the financial support so generous. Someone donated a tank of fuel the other week! It all helps. Thank you.

We still have native tree and shrub seedlings for sale for $5 each, please call Don 0429455210.

The soil and help in potting up around two thousand plants was generously donated by Dustin and Lisa McCreery of Chatfields in Tammin. Many thanks to them!

A huge thank you to the lovely people at the Post Office for their ongoing support.

There is a Quiz Night organised by Harrison’s Fundraising Committee coming up on Thursday 2 August 2018 at the Quairading Community Building. $10 per ticket. Doors open at 7pm for a 7:30pm start BYO Drinks & Nibbles. Some cheese platters for sale. Mr Mellor has some tricky questions organised!

GRDC ‘Financial Decision Making Tools for Growers’ Workshops How do you make decisions about what you are going spend money on first? Would it be lime, stock feed, a machinery shed or a new header?

You only have a finite amount of money.

GRDC's Kwinana East port zone RCSN members identified that, after last year’s difficult season, they needed to better understand their constraints and how best to invest limited resources to give them the best ‘bang for buck’. They recognised that the health of farm balance sheets can restrict investment and wanted advice about tools and options to help prioritise expenditure - given limited capital resources. As a result, several workshops are being run in this region to upskill growers about how to identify the constraint with the best return on investment (ROI) so this can be targeted for farm business spending.

The workshops will be presented by well-known farm business consultants Brent Searle and David Williams, of BJW Agribusiness, and will start in August. Brent has had a long career in the agricultural and finance sectors since graduating from university, and has a strong banking background. He is now consulting to a wide range of broadacre, dairy and horticultural clients in WA - focusing on farm business management services to growers and assisting clients to achieve their goals. David has worked in the WA grainbelt since graduating from university and has a core focus on farm business management services to growers. He provides advice to clients about production and farm business management and undertakes farm management services for absentee landowners in WA. The upcoming Kwinana East port zone ‘Financial Decision Making Tools for Growers’ workshops are free, but you must register via Eventbrite.

Dates for the diary are:  August 6 - Bruce Rock Shire supper room (11am-1.30pm, followed by GRDC’s RCSN ‘Open Forum’ from 26pm)  August 7 - Bencubbin Community Recreation Complex (11am-1.30pm, followed by GRDC’s RCSN ‘Open Forum’ from 2-6pm).

Another three workshops will be delivered in subsequent months - so express your interest.

More information: Julianne Hill, RCSN coordinator, regionalcroppingsolutions@gmail.com; or Brent Searle, BJW Agribusiness, brent@bjw.net.au https://www.eventbrite.com/e/kwinana-east-port-zone-grdc-open-forums-2018-financial-decision-makingworkshops-registration-46092268215 PAGE 26

2018 ANZAC DAY ADDRESS From Hon Mia Davies MLA, Leader of The Nationals WA, Member for Central Wheatbelt I’d like to acknowledge the traditional owners of the highest of esteem. Courage, mateship, land on which we meet and pay my respects to determination and sacrifice. They have been present elders past and present. in every conflict Australia has been involved in since this fateful campaign and have shaped our nation’s Welcome to our returned service men and woman. identity.

A very special acknowledgment of the families of local Australian Defence Force service men and This year there is a focus on honouring the role women who are currently serving in various conflicts women have played in the theatre of war. When I around the world. think about what I was doing at a similar age it is To distinguished guests, representatives from the incomparable. At the age of 20, the same as many of community and service groups, welcome. those that had signed up, I was also getting ready to go overseas. I was about to graduate from Thank you very much for inviting me to be here on University. I was surrounded by my friends and what is such an important day for our nation. It is family. I was filled with ambition and excitement for always an honour to be invited to speak on a day the future. A far cry from the wet, cold, dangerous that we hold so dear and close to our hearts. In fact, life in the trenches and an environment where death I can think of no greater honour than to be asked to was always lurking. Had I been 20 in 1915, would I reflect on the courage of people and the value of have signed up? As a woman, one of my options was friendship - to honour the dead and to acknowledge to serve back then would have been as a nurse. those who suffer still from the effects of war.

It’s a question I can’t answer. I’d like to think I’d We gather here this morning, not to glorify war, but have the mettle to do it. Certainly, many women to celebrate the spirit of the ANZAC. When war did. Many more stayed at home to take on the work broke out in 1914, Australia had only been a nation traditionally done by the men, turning their hand to for 13 years. We were young and eager to establish farming, business, manufacturing and factory work our reputation among the nations of the world. that was needed to keep the home fires burning.

More than 2200 women were members of the Our forces landed on Gallipoli on Sunday 25th April Australian Army Nursing Service and hundreds more in 1915, part of a bold plan to capture the Gallipoli Australian nurses served with the British. peninsula and open the Dardanelles to the Allied They threw themselves into the fray of war, as close Navies. We know this bold plan went horribly wrong. to the front line as permitted. Elsie Gibson, an AANS Thousands of Australian soldiers lost their lives in nurse serving on the hospital ship Gascon, wrote in the next eight months. Our first foray into war as a her diary how they worked "like fury" for hours on nation had failed – yet all these years later we Sunday April 25, taking on board 570 bloodied and continue to remember and honour those that were wounded men "in an endless stream". In Malta, part of this fateful battle.

Narrelle Hobbes's experiences were similar. Writing home to her family, she explained: This year marks 100 years since the end of the First ... when you see them brought in stretcher after World War and the final year of the Anzac Centenary stretcher in that endless procession and wonder if, period. It was 100 years ago today that Australians when you see the next man's face, if you will see one were involved in one of the Western Front’s most of your own friends, dear heaven, it's awful and important battles. every man or boy is somebody's boy.

On the 25th of April 1918, the Battle of VillersBretonneux occurred, three years to the day after the first landings at Gallipoli. It was an important victory for the Allies that ended the German advance. More than 295,000 Australians served on the Western Front and some 46,000 lost their lives.

Australia has never forgotten and we will never forget the events of April 25th, both in Turkey and France.

The legend of the ANZAC has grown to personify those characteristics we as a nation hold in the PAGE 30

Acting under such adverse conditions, these women proved themselves to be of awesome dedication.

Reflecting on the role these women played it is clear the ANZAC legend transcends gender. We see their characteristics instilled in the generations that followed as our nation grew. For those that served and those at home – what was important in life was struck in sharp relief having lived through war years.

The best line I’ve heard uttered at these services over the years I have attended is how little is asked

of us that we only have to remember the sacrifice of others. For some the sacrifice was a life cut short, a journey never completed. For others it was a life changed, the path altered forever and overshadowed by an experience only known by those who have served in armed conflict.

I have no knowledge of what war is like. I have no real notion of the pain, suffering, fatigue, or sorrow this experience creates. And for that privilege I thank every man and woman who carries that burden. For that privilege I pledge never to be complacent about our history or the people that have shaped it.

I am thankful that I live in Australia – a free and prosperous country. I am thankful that there have been men and women prepared to protect these freedoms with their own lives. There is no greater gift or legacy than that of freedom for future generations. In my life this gift has a human face. It was my Grandfathers and my Great Uncles who served in the First and Second World Wars.

It was my Mum’s Dad who enlisted a matter of days after his 18th birthday, trained in Northam and served in New Guinea. He returned to Australia and never really spoke of the war again. It’s almost like he has lived two lives in his 91 years. One that we shared and one he preferred we never knew. It was my Great Uncle Sapper Douglass Thomas Davies, born in Yorkrakine, who was one of over 2000 Allied prisoners of war held in the Sandakan POW camp in north Borneo, having been transferred there from Singapore. They were transported from Changi to Sandakan in July 1942 and he died as a prisoner on 4 January 1945, aged 37 years. It was my Great Great Uncle who served as a Private in the 50th Battalion and was killed in action in France and now lies with his mates in the cemetery in Harbonnieres. It is my neighbour who was conscripted to fight in Vietnam.

It was my Nan and her sister who travelled from Darkan to York to roll endless bandages and nurse returned servicemen convalescing at Faversham House with the Red Cross during World War II.

attending these services every year. Meeting to reflect on and celebrate the spirit of the ANZAC’s and to pay our respects is a ritual that has stood the test of time. Speaking of those that have now passed, that are a name on an honour role, sharing our family history, our town’s history, our nation’s history with the next generation is so incredibly important. Their sacrifice should be the strongest motivation for us to strive for a world without war, so that our future generations don’t have to share the burden so many have in the past.

In closing, I’d like to share with you a poem written

by Ken Bunker.

“A tribute to ANZAC Day” With their hair a little whiter, their step not quite so sure Still they march on proudly as they did the year before.

Theirs were the hands that saved us, their courage showed the way.

Their lives they laid down for us, that we may live today.

From Gallipoli's rugged hillsides, to the sands of Alamein On rolling seas and in the skies, those memories will remain.

Of airmen and the sailors, of Lone Pine and Suvla Bay The boys of the Dardenelles are remembered on this day.

They fought their way through jungles, their blood soaked desert sands.

They still remember comrades who rest in foreign lands.

They remember the siege of old Tobruk, the mud of the Kokoda Trail.

Some paying the supreme sacrifice with courage that did not fail.

To the icy land of Korea, the steamy jungles of Vietnam And the heroic battle of Kapyong and that epic victory at Long Tan. Fathers, sons and brothers, together they fought and died That we may live in peace together, while at home their mothers cried.

When that final bugle calls them to cross that great divide Those comrades will be waiting when they reach the other side.

It’s been an honour to offer my reflections on ANZAC Day today and pay Our tribute to these men and women, their mates, tribute to their families and their friends must be to honor the those that freedoms they fought to protect. Thank you to those have served that served, gave their lives, suffered injury, or this country returned home as damaged souls. Thank you to the in every families of the men and women who serve, for conflict since sharing them with us all. Our role is to live the best that fateful life we can, to give one hundred percent each and day at every day to make our family, community, State and Gallipoli. nation the best version of itself. Only then are we honouring the sacrifice of those that paid the Lest we ultimate price. forget.

THE BALLAD OF PHILLIP HUGHES

By Brock Macdonald There was a boy from Macksville And Phillip was his name He was good at everything But cricket was his game He loved to score for his country He loved to score big runs He’d scored them with his beloved bat He’d scored them by the ton He was in form in the shield Until a bouncer ball Hit him in the neck And Phillip had a fall He was sent to hospital Mums tears fell like rain She didn’t realise She would not see him again So raise your bat for Hughesy For everything he learned A well lived life of Hughesy A ‘Baggy Green’ well earned But that day that you took him He gave a mighty shout For somewhere far above us He’s still 63 Not Out

The Phil Hughes poem was written by Brock last year when he was a student in year 8. Earlier this year, the poem was entered in a school writing competition ‘Write4Fun’. Although Brock’s poem did not win a prize, it was one of many, from over 10 000 entries, that was chosen to be published in a book of Australian students poetry and short stories. The book ‘Horizon of Dreams’ is due to be published in October 2018.

ANZAC DAY POEM

By Brock Macdonald There were three young boys who were going to war In their young lives this was something they never did before However, it was their idea nonetheless All these boys wanted to do was impress So the boys started their journey and sailed over the sea And eventually after long, they arrived at Gallipoli They jumped off the boat and they swam to shore The Turks just fired at them, more and more So they jumped in the sand and tried to avoid the shells There was blood, tears and plenty of yells The boys tried to survive the war But one was shot and then one more The war had ended, it was time to go home But the last young boy was all alone When they arrived, the crowd started to cheer But his only wish was that his friends were here The boy gave a speech because everyone called him a hero But he didn’t take any recognition, he took zero He said “I’d like to say to our soldiers who died That your nation won’t forget you, we are all full of pride.”

WHAT’S HAPPENING AT YOUR LOCAL CO-OP?!

To our Loyal customers, Team and Directors: Congratulations: G & A Johnston scored a $50 voucher in our shareholders draw in December and L G Whyte also scored a $50 voucher in our shareholders draw in March. Shareholders keep placing those receipts into the barrel at the front of the store for your chance to win.

Where are we at?

The Co-op needs to evolve not only with the economic climate but the population decline. We are seeing some country towns and metro small areas lose their grocery stores. This is something our community never thinks nor imagines the possibility of it happening to us. The last financial year has been our toughest yet (in my time) and we need your support. We can all find reasons as to why we shop elsewhere but at the end of the day we use it or lose it.

Our grocery offer has never looked better and I encourage all of you to come and take a look!

I would like to take the time to thank those of you that shop in our Co-op week in and week out, you all know who you are.

What’s New? You’ll see many changes taking place throughout the store in the coming months.  We’ve been looking at changing our Fruit & Veg supplier for some time, this exercise has not been easy but we’ve recently had the Fresh Food Brothers sourcing and supplying our stock.

Their instore service and support has been second to none, the department looks great and the pricing is awesome! Come and check out the Managers specials instore weekly. Feedback has been positive with many of you catching up with myself just to inform me how great it is.

“Thankyou”  The Deli will no longer slice meat however we have Mondo Doro supplying a large range of pre -packed sliced meats. Feedback is positive and the price per kg is great. This is available in the dairy fridge.  Deli Bacon will be available in “bulk” only when on special or if required. Order with the team for the following week’s delivery.  There will be no change to the Café Offer.

We have listened and these grocery lines have returned to our shelves!! These lines have been deleted by Metcash and are sourced independently.  Keens - Mustard and Curry powder.  McVities - Digestive Biscuits including plain and milk/dark chocolate.  Lite Jelly  Lite Salt If you find we’re missing your favourite grocery line let us know and well do our best source it for you.

SETTING GOALS Written by Candace Burchell from Time 2 Shape Up When you want to make changes in your life it is important to set goals. It’s very important to set yourself achievable goals!! Don’t aim too high because if you don’t achieve it, it can take a real hit to your progress. For example, “I want to be a body builder in 6 months” is aiming too high. Real change takes time and effort. Nothing in life worth having comes easily. A few tips for your goal setting...

Weight Loss  When changing eating habits, avoid those tempting unhealthy foods. Keep them out of the house and when shopping don’t shop down the aisles where all the processed and junk foods tend to be.  Avoid sugar and processed foods (not including fruit) when trying to lose weight.  If you are wanting to lose weight start with moderate General Goal Setting walking, 2 hours after a meal or  Most important: make your goals first thing in the morning (for reasonable and achievable.

hen we now take photos of models, our members will now look like supermodels ourselves as we now have our club logo embroidered onto various items of clothing— we’ll all look absolutely lovely! We may be available for modelling ourselves. To make it easier, the members will choose their own colour of clothing and also choose their own items of clothing.

Our subject for the photo competition in June is going to be “monochromatic”. The idea is to take a photo that is based on just one colour and vary the tones. For example, a green based photo could have the colours light green, green and dark green. This will be an interesting subject and an opportunity to do some creative photography.

However, in the world of photography, black and white is not recognised as a colour as they are both neutral colours. If it all gets to be too hard, you can just take a photo and simply convert your photo to black and white and it’s still deemed monochromatic.

We are excited about our 10 Year Anniversary Exhibition coming up in the Spring. After the exhibition, for those who can not get there, we will be transferring the display to the Quairading Vintage Club and showing off our photos there during the Spring. Just leave your photos at the Quairading CRC and we will do the rest.

We will also be displaying our photos aT the Creative Arts Exhibition this year. The photos will all be based around the theme “Australiana”. We are so lucky living in Quairading because it makes it easier to take an Australiana photo doesn’t it?!

A reminder that we have a Best Portrait Photo Competition and to enter you need to enter your photo in the portrait section at the Quairading Show and we will have a People’s Choice vote to decide the best portrait for 2018. Your photo will be mounted on our trophy at the Photo Club Corner, where our photos are displayed in the Co -op window.

QUAIRADING AED UNITS “Automatic External Defibrillators”

An “Automatic External Defibrillator” (AED) is an electronic unit that can help restart a heart that has stopped. It is (as the name suggests) automatic, and features a voice over instructing where to place two stickers and when to press the flashing button.

If you are near a person who has collapsed and might need resuscitating, these easy to use units are accessible in 13 locations and can be the difference between “Life and Death”.

When a “000” call is made, the operator will explain where the closest unit is, and it can be used before an ambulance even arrives.

The most recent addition to these was placed outside the Post Office this week, in an alarmed cabinet. The “000” ambulance operator will provide the combination to the lock when directing a caller to the AED.

A NOVEL IDEA Written by Peta West

I

t’s been another busy month at the library with the post office renovations happening and also another book exchange. Did you know that we also have a donated section of the library? This is full of books that have been kindly donated to us by members of the community and people are free to take them either to keep or to bring back and exchange.

We also take donations of books and DVDs. We really are taking pride in our DVD collection in the library. It is ever expanding and offers such a great array of films to suit everyone’s taste. We even are fortunate enough to get in new releases. So with winter on the way, why not come in and borrow some movies to watch on those cold winter nights, or when there is nothing else on the television to watch. We also have some great television series on DVD. Is there a book you want to read or a film you want to view? We can help you! We have the ability to loan books and movies from other libraries within Western Australia. So as a library member you can come in and request what you are looking for and we will do our best to get it in for you. We also have a great kids section and young adult section. It is so important to instil a love of reading into children, so the library is the perfect place to kick start this.

We have lots of plans to make the library a more enjoyable space for our readers, so keep an eye

out for changes that will be coming in the near future.

In the most recent book exchange we received the DVD Running Wild with Bear Grylls. This reality television series is where English survivalist Bear Grylls takes a well-known celebrity on a 48 hour adventure to remote places in the world, where with the help of Bear, they are put in extreme situations for that period of time. This DVD features a number of celebrities including actor Channing Tatum who accompanies Bear to Yosemite National Park, where thy hike, climb and rappel of cliffs. It really is a fascinating series, to see celebrities away from the limelight and roughing it. So come into the library and get this DVD to watch, if you like it we can order the other DVDs in the series in for you.

WARRIOR WELLBEING

“Progression Planning (Succession) – Relationships First” Progression Planning is about retaining family relationships in the progression/succession process by looking at the people issues before dealing with the financial and business aspects.

It is often the unspoken expectations of family members that can lead to the difficulties experienced. If farming families looked at the relationship aspects and people issues of their business as part of the progression plan there would be less stress and misunderstanding.

on issues. Communication must be maintained to both reduce distress and for our positive wellbeing. In fact, many people don’t talk about progression until it’s too late and/or put it off because it is too difficult.

The following key topics in progression planning need to be canvassed in detail:  Family communication. It all starts here;  What is the farm business?

Allows understanding of the business family are involved in;  Stakeholders. Who’s Why Progression? Mixed involved? It is important messages are received and given to empower all parties to using the word “succession”. have a role in the For most it means “the king is progression planning dead” who is the next king? process; Progression is not just a business  What do stakeholders transaction, it is primarily about want? Questions to ask our relationships. One of the spouse/partner and greatest risks to a farming children about progression family’s viability, in the long and/or retirement and term, is about relationships and business development; we often don’t see it coming.  Transition period.

Only the minority, Effective communication allows amongst family owned for awareness, understanding businesses, have any and a basis to reach agreement documentation around farm

and/or business succession.

Families must lead the way and own the process, no one can do it for us. Some simple rules that influence good progression planning are: 1.

Sort the relationships first; 2.

Debate the issues openly and with those that matter; 3.

Start planning early, when your kids leave school the plan should be in place and understood; 4.

When children come to work on the farm and/or in the business, be clear on where it is going (sell the business not the land or building); 5.

Seek outside help for more than financial and legal matters (involve more than just the farm consultant, accountant and/or lawyer); 6.

Have a handover strategy and stick to it.

Remember not all businesses will be able to have a successful progression/succession outcome, for a variety of reasons. Maintain those relationships first, to give it the best shot. “Don’t do what others say, just listen to them, and do what you feel good with” a quote from Warren Buffett that fits in well with progression/succession matters.

QUAIRADING BELLES Written by Tamara Spark

F

our games, an epic Mexican feast and a netball camp with 11 ‘mini Belles’ have all come to pass since the last edition of the Bulletin. The Belle’s have notched up a win in that time and faced some very tough competition. Without a doubt all teams are stronger across the board this year.

Try as we might to tire them out they were still asking to play another game at 7pm! Their energy levels were maintained throughout the entire foray with the largely homemade delicacies of Claire Gelmi, Kelsie Squiers and a few baking Belles.

We are definitely looking the part in our brand new uniforms, generously sponsored by Ausplow. We received these just in time for our Round 4 game against the Beverly Redbacks and we had our first win in them, on home soil too!

Somehow an aerobics class, 2 x full movies and pillow fight were squeezed in before a bed time had to be enforced! They were up and at it again by 7am, breakfast downed they headed out for a few more drills and another game before their official game against the Keller-Tammin Kittens. By this stage the signs of fatigue were finally starting to show but the girls played well and had a win. Quairading has so many talented up and coming players!

I cannot thank all of the Belles and Mum’s enough for assisting and being involved in all manner of ways.

Many hands made the load lighter and resulted in an enjoyable and skill building camp for the kids and Belles alike. If only we could have bottled the stamina and energy of the kids for our game!

Tamara Spark , Quairading Belles Coordinator

The Belles were approached by the Quairading Junior Netball Club to help run and supervise a 2 day netball camp. 11 buzzing junior netballers, swags and pillows in tow, were dropped off at the Community Building and Netball courts Saturday 19 May. They were straight into some drills and agility training under the able direction of Candace Burchell and Bec Wilson assisted

by Belles in shifts.

Thank you to the sponsors of the Belles: Ausplow, Quairading Smash Repairs, Quairading Tyre & Battery Supplies, Quairading Earth Moving Co, Sharon Richards, Quairading Club, Northam Tavern and the Simpson family. Photo Credits to Claire Gelmi and Geoff Hall PAGE 56

QUAIRADING GOLF CLUB

Quairading Hospital Auxiliary & Royal Flying Doctor Charity Golf Day The successful fundraising collaboration between the Quairading Hospital Auxiliary and the Quairading Golf Club continued on Friday 18th May as the Golf Club welcomed many visitors for both golf and lunch over the day. It is a long lived partnership formed to successfully raise funds for our local hospital and the Royal Flying Doctor Service. Having a field of 68 golfers and 37 for lunch, it was a mighty effort towards fundraising this year.

The Quairading Hospital Auxiliary were well represented and made an amazing contribution to the fundraising effort.

The donations of home cooked food to the stall, luncheon and afternoon tea and raffles were very generous. The raffles were spectacular and work entertaining the townsfolk who came up for a leisurely lunch was much appreciated.

The Hospital Auxiliary has supported the purchase of equipment and other needs for our local hospital over many years.

The Royal Flying Doctor Service celebrated its 90 th birthday with a flight re-enactment of the first flight on 17th May, 1928, the day before our event. It would be fair to say that there are not many country folk who cannot tell a story about how the RFDS has positively assisted someone in their lives by the provision of their incredible flying emergency room. The fundraising efforts for the RFDS are essential.

We welcomed 24 of our friends from Royal Perth Golf Club who travelled up in force for the day. Other clubs represented were Bruce Rock, Kondinin, Corrigin, Wandering, Ardath, Surfside, Mt Lawley, Maylands and of course many local ladies including future golfers whom we always embrace.

The golf was played on a dry course in warm conditions although the scores didn’t reflect this. The course has been cleaned up and maintained beautifully by our members with newly oiled greens and many freshly sanded challenging bunkers.

Well done to the new captaincy team of Barb Bond as Captain and Di Wallwork as Vice captain and your continued mastery of the new computer system. The game flowed smoothly and was a great social day out!

Our Winners: Natalie Kilminster, Bruce Rock & Tammy Wilkins, Kondinin

Runners-up: Sharon Richards & Robyn Dall

Limit Markers: Lisa Powell & Di Wallwork

The catering convenor for the day was Maggie Hadlow, with all the club members cooking, working and donating with their usual generosity. Maggie rolled in with a car full of delicious food as did many people. It was a huge effort.

Pauline Richards, Fay Minchin and Phyl Brown supplied beautiful flowers and greenery for the clubhouse and special mention was made to Sharon Richards in her new role as florist. Anne Johnson and her bar helpers provided cool relief during and at the end of a gruelling day.

In conclusion, we take much pleasure in announcing that a total of $3,500 was raised which was split evenly between the Hospital Auxiliary and the RFDS. An awesome result! May it continue for many years.

premiers and the 2008 League Premiership win. Saturday 9th June is also ‘Talk to a Mate’ Round on the AFA fixtures so the QFC have put together a raffle and will be selling tickets during the day with proceeds to ‘Beyond Blue’.

Unfortunately, injuries and lack of numbers are killing us on the field, with some of our 2nd’s having to double up on occasions, but hopefully in the next week or two, we’ll get a few back and we’ll be able to put in some competitive efforts all round.

Our Patron’s Tea will this year be held on Friday 22nd June. All our players and supporters are encouraged to come down for the evening and enjoy the great spread put on by our generous club patrons. __________________________________________________

It would be easy to get down and out with some of the big losses we’ve had over the last few weeks, but the boys have remained positive and focused on the next win and numbers on the training track have been consistently good. As have our supporters and volunteers, whom we would be absolutely lost without. __________________________________________________ BARB’S HIGH TEA On the 20th May, we held the second annual Barb’s High Tea, where all ladies who were at the football, the netball and hockey girls and anyone else that wanted to (from both towns) who knew, loved and admired Barb Simpson, were invited along. And boy, did we have a fantastic turnout!! Thank you to all of our wonderful chefs for putting on a most glorious spread to rival even the best 5 star restaurant High Tea. It was immensely enjoyed by all.

Many thanks to Sue Outridge who was able to pilfer a pair of Steel Blue boots from work so that we could auction them off and to Sarah Hadlow for donating her pink pair back after buying hers at auction. The two pairs of boots were expertly auctioned off by Rod Simpson fetching a combined price of $500, which this year will be donated to our local St John’s Ambulance. A very fitting beneficiary given all the volunteer time they give to our football club.

SPONSOR SHOUTOUT: From Treasurer, Kelli Brown.

The Quairading Football Club are so fortunate to have a fantastic supporter base in every way and I believe this is what makes us as a club. To all of you that put your hand up to do whatever it is you do to support us, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

I would particularly like to take this opportunity to thank our 2018 sponsors. It is a horrible task asking for sponsorship year after year, knowing that these businesses get hit up by every club. But still, they keep on giving. So please, please consider supporting our fabulous club sponsors as their continuous support keeps our club running.

FROM THE HISTORY BOOKS After digging in to the Footy Budget archive box here are notes from the game against Beverley in 2008 (our double premiership year)

as being the wiser move. However, everything turned out OK and the girls won without her. Best players: Hotel – Kelsie Squiers; BP Roadhouse – Shae J; Players Choice (Squiers Cup) – Michelle Grover and Hayley Taylor.

Michelle also took off the Qdg Smash Repairs award.

QUAIRADING FOOTBALL CLUB NOTES Thanks to Sharon Richards for attending to umpiring An enjoyable day was spent at Beverley last week with the duties. An excellent day ladies. three senior Bulls sides recording strong victories. The nippers came close but they looked as though they enjoyed Today’s game versus Feddies will give all 3 teams a chance themselves too. Well the dads and mums did anyway! to see where they sit in the general scheme of things. So go Bulls and Belles.

The Affs celebrated Woodsy’s 100th in relative comfortable style, although the Redbacks were by no means the It appears we are losing a few of our crew in the next few easybeats everyone imagined. The Bulls had to show plenty weeks. So it’s see ya to our last league premiership coach of steel to shake off a dogged opposition in the first half. and recent selector, Falky and Nat and the kids as they A strong second half saw the lads run away with their win head off to Mandurah to work and to young Cam Hathaway but hats off to Beverley on their effort.

And congratulations Desy, And SUBS. No SUBS means no awards See Aithchy 50 games today, well done. Well done also to young Roy Slater who showed plenty of skill in his debut.

Awards – Anderusking/Shirlee Downs – Rueben Hayden; Aithchey’s balls up (God knows where the award went. We suspect the Beverley boys had an extra award that night!!!) – Clayton Fitzgerald; Qdg Earthmoving – John Anderson; Darryl’s Diner – Brice Maddock; Hotel – Troy Newick; Ossrock Transport MOD – Jumpin’ Jacky Wilson.

Phil Macca continues to show good touch and CJ, Walks, Hughesy and young Pedro were the best of what was a pretty good, all round team hoozle.

Also great to see Todd Mills back in action after an enforced layoff, Squiddly Stacey and Hambone Swithenbank back after enforced layoffs and Wrecker returning after whatever he didn’t play last year for!!!!

Welcome to all the new players and supporters.

The club has a couple of new committee men in Brett Simpson and Mick Van Elden, a couple of very likely lads who are keen to keep the Bulls at the top of the tree. As always there are still a few vacant positions (at the time of writing) around the club and it is hoped these can be filled before too long.

QUAIRAING CLUB NOTES The 1998 season is on us although it only seems yesterday that the Bulls were celebrating the magnificent 1997 premiership win. All that however is now behind us as we The warm conditions didn’t allow the A Grade game to head into the unknown new year and coaches Clayton reach any great heights but it was an entertaining game all Falkingham and Rod Simpson have the lads as prepared as the same. A couple of mid-game positional changes by the they can be at this time of the season for what is going to Bull’s hierarchy came off and these may be handy in future be another great challenge. games. (Although Johnboy’s attempted explanation of playing in his new spot left me searching for a can!!!!)

Many new and old faces have gathered at the club and it Roobs’ game was a bewdy and young Pedro’s first half was seems the Bulls can look to a fairly good year number excellent. The ‘Big fella” (just where was he playing?) wise. Old timer Boondy Stone is back on the track looking showed a clean pair of heels to the opposition coming out as ‘trim’ as ever and would no doubt like to have a of defence.

Thanks to the usuals in the match day area with the addition of Wrecker Johnston in the goals although there were some concerns. The last time Wrecker goal umpired he was in the hands of the trainers for some time when his knee gave way as he danced between the posts. But he got though unscathed this time.

The Belles had a strong win and the coaching staff were very pleased with the girls’ performance. With Mrs Black laid up with a crook knee and a few other absentees there was almost a call to Mrs Shenton to pull on the sandshoes – but she didn’t have any pants on. So to avoid absolute chaos (the spectator facilities only allow for a few people to watch. There would have been thousands jostling for position if the coach played pantless!!!) Sue saw discretion

Once again we are thrilled to have so many sponsors eager to assist the Bulls in their endeavours and we thank them very much for their continued support.

Finally all the very best to Andy, Shirley and the directors, the AFA and Saints this year and we wish all the clubs an enjoyable and productive season. (I won’t say successful).
