BOBTAIL SEASON IS HERE!

How’s this stunning snap by @jessepickett_2 we spotted on Instagram! It comes with the caption, “bobtails coming out, soon snakes will be”. We’re coming to the end of the Noongar season ‘Djilba’ and on the cusp of ‘Kambarang’ which will bring with it warmer, drier days, flowering yellow acacias and the awakening of reptiles such as snakes from their winter hibernation.

While I’m really not ready for it to be October yet (have you seen how jam-packed the local calendar is for October?!), September somehow hasn’t flown by tooooo fast.

In early September we hosted our second Art Class with Charlie Colbung at the Quairading CRC, which had a great group of participants and heaps of glowing reviews - read more on page 29. We kicked off Curtain Raisers ticket sales mid-way though the month which has kept us very busy (just a casual 600+ sold so far!) and on the recent public holiday we even snuck in a cheeky Skipper’s Ticket course!

Both Tamara & I are once again getting involved in the Curtain Raisers’ production of Rock of Ages this year, and it’s been an absolute hoot! Sure the twice weekly evening rehearsals are chipping into quality sleep time so we’re pretty well running on extra-shot flat whites; it’s absolutely going to be worth it. With tickets at just $30 this year, you’re going to be running low on excuses to not come and see the show! As we go to print there’s maybe one seat left for each of the Saturday nights and a handful of tables for the Friday shows. Get around us - how sweet would it be to sell out all four shows!!

An equally as big event (maybe even bigger, and definitely sooner!) is the huge 100th Quairading Ag Show next Saturday!

We feel like there’s a really good buzz around town ahead of the show and we hope to see heaps of community members there, past and present. With the 2020 show not going ahead, there’s been an even bigger build up than usual and the Ag Society committee have got a pretty sweet afternoon and evening of festivities planned - including fireworks!! Also, keep an eye on GWN7 for our fun ad featuring our illustrations by Meg Caporn!

In a desperate attempt to maybe find a little slice of zen next month, we’re giving Janet Robertson from Nourishabley the call up to hold a Sunrise Yoga Session! Sunrises are cool, and yoga is too—so check out all the details on page 25 and get in touch to book your spot.

See you at all of the events!

Also, send coffee.

School holidays are here which means it’s less than two weeks until show day, the count down is well and truly ON!

THERE WILL BE FIREWORKS!! Yahoo!

What better way to cap off an epic afternoon at the show, and celebrate a show 100 years in the making, than with a fireworks display!

Kids: make sure you’re getting your school holiday chores done and making some sweet pocket money to blow on Side Show Alley! The arcade games, food and drink are the ONLY things that are going to cost you money, all other ride and entertainment will be FREE all afternoon, and into the night!

We can’t wait to see what everyone enters into the Exhibition Hall and Livestock Shed. We have an inkling that photos are going to be particularly special this year and we’re excited to see the entries for the newest trophy in Section I – Flowers Class 29 Flowering Native Shrub with the prize being donated by Quairading Garden & Gifts – thanks Donna and to all of our trophy donors for your support. Be sure to check the Schedule for deadlines for Entry Forms and times for dropping off you entries to the Exhibition Hall.

If official proceedings are your cup of tea, join us for the Centenary Afternoon Tea at 3pm in the Community Building. Purchase a plate and cuppa from the members of the Quairading Bowling Club, admire the memorabilia display and watch the special cutting of the centenary show cake (provided by Quairading Cake Decorators).

Be sure to check the Show Day Schedule for a Fashion Parade showcasing the latest fashions from Dash n Franks, AND a special parade of past Miss Showgirl dresses.

There will also be Cooking Demos with Chef Caroline Taylor in the Ag Shed through the afternoon.

How about this for an idea – why not organise a reunion of class mates, family or friends and meet in Quairading on Show Day. You won’t have to do a thing – entertainment, food & drinks will all be organised for you. Too easy!

Memberships at just $12 per adult are welcome up until 1st October and after that it’s $15 at the gate on Show Day. It’s going to be a great day!

Quairading Curtain Raisers presents Rock of Ages!

Come on and feel the noise this October as the legends of Quairading Curtain Raisers take on Rock of Ages!

Featuring an all-star local band, cast and crew—with a few stalwarts of the stage and a sprinkling of fresh young talent—the Quairading Town Hall will be rocked on Friday 22nd, Saturday 23rd, Friday 29th and Saturday 30th October 2021.

Rock of Ages is a big, brash, energetic tribute to classic rock, to over-the-top ballads and fierce guitar, to the gritty glamour and rough energy of the Sunset Strip. This jukebox musical features ‘80s hits such as “We Built this City”, “I Wanna Rock”, and “Don’t Stop Believin”.

The Quairading Curtain Raisers have been taking to the stage every other year for the past three decades. The completely volunteer driven production raises money to donate to local community causes—the very first of which was for new curtains in the Quairading Town Hall, the very curtains that still sweep across the stage today.

A feature of Curtain Raisers’ productions of late has been a catered two course meal to go along with the show, however this year punters will have the opportunity to show off their platter game with BYO food encouraged for each performance. With the ongoing risk that changing COVID event restrictions will force last minute disruptions to performance dates, eliminating a catered meal reduces the risk of food and fund wastage—and creates a cheaper show ticket!

Local clubs and groups will be offered the opportunity to raise some funds for their own activities by taking on the management of the ever important bar at each night’s production.

Club volunteers will be hard at work delivering tasty cold beverages direct to seated patrons so you can sit back relax, enjoy the show and your BYO nibbles.

If that wasn’t enough, the crafty Curtain Raisers cast and crew have been preparing some interactive pre-show entertainment to get audience members right in the mood. Without giving too much away, if you’re a fan of Spicks & Specks, RocKwiz and good old pub trivia, this is a pre-show not to be missed!

Book a ticket, grow out your mullet and don your band t-shirt. We’re going back to a sexier time, the 80s!

Tickets are just $30 per person and will go on sale Friday 17th September at 9am via the friendly team at the Quairading CRC. Call: 9645 0096 Email: quairading@crc.net.au Visit: 1 Parker Street, Quairading Book by Chris D'Arienzo Arrangements and Orchestrations by Ethan Popp

Art Class with Charlie Colbung We shifted gears this time around for our Art Class with Charlie Colbung, to a Friday evening with a vino, and it was delightful!

As always there were the cries of “I can’t paint”, “I don’t have an arty bone in my body” etcetera etcetera… namely from myself, but this wasn’t my first rodeo, so I knew that my lack of artistic ability wasn’t going to be a problem.

Charlie expertly guided -sometimes painted for- the 12 of us to create a moody moonrise evening scene. My mind was blown several times that evening, firstly because we used just one shade of blue and white acrylic paint, and then by how same/same but different and amazing all of the pieces created that evening were.

Charlie has a very relaxed and relatable teaching style and he breaks down the process of creating depth and perception, removing a lot of the daunt.

Charlie can work with a variety of mediums and subject matter so if you have a suggestion for the next class be sure to let us know so we can float it by him.

Thanks to all of the participants for making it a really enjoyable night and we hope that if it was out of your comfort zone, your comfort zone has now been expanded.

SUDOKU Sudoku is a logicbased, combinatorial numberplacement puzzle. In classic sudoku, the objective is to fill a 9×9 grid with digits so that each column, each row, and each of the nine 3×3 subgrids that compose the grid contain all of the digits from 1 to 9. The puzzle setter provides a partially completed grid, which for a well-posed puzzle has a single solution.

French newspapers featured variations of the Sudoku puzzles in the 19th century, and the puzzle has appeared since 1979 in puzzle books under the name Number Place. However, the modern Sudoku only began to gain widespread popularity in 1986 when it was published by the Japanese puzzle company Nikoli under the name Sudoku, meaning "single number".

Quairading Golf Club Well this month’s edition of the BB finds us at the end of another successful golf season and packing away our clubs in readiness for the bowling green or swimming pool.

A big thank you to the CRC for publishing our notes every week along with our occasional report in the Banksia Bulletin, it’s very much appreciated and a great way to get our news out to members and interested locals.

We have had a huge month in September consisting of our Championships, Country-week (for the ladies) Charity Day, Afgri Day and Scott Johnson Memorial Day. A massive task for a small club but thank you to all members and our wonderful ‘extras’ for all the work that has been put in on and off the course, it really is appreciated. A very special thank you to all sponsors involved.

When you read this we would’ve had a little gathering to wish Shauna and Noel Stone all the best of luck. Shauna thank you for your many, many years of work in the Quairading Golf Club. Your patience, fairness, hard work and above all your sense of humour have been an asset to our Club.

Just to finish off Shauna’s involvement in the Avon Valley Ladies Golf Association, she and Anne Johnson won the gross in the Foursomes event last week in Gingin. Well done ladies!

Enjoy your summer everyone and we look forward to seeing you back on the course in 2022.

Shauna Stone and Anne Johnson Avon Valley Ladies Golf Assn Foursomes. Gross winners.

Congratulations!

Gardening in the Wheatbelt Written by Carmela Kriszyk of Eaglewood Farm As the first month of spring September has overall been a little kinder than in past years, in that we have not had any spikes in temperature nor has the rain completely diminished. The finishing rains have been light but there are more coming! September is the month for showcasing our gardens and enjoying the blooms of flowering shrubs, spring bulbs and roses. Also flowering are all the wildflowers in our bush lands and reserves.

He is asking questions; “Who is he?” “What do the people think? “ What do the disciples think and above all what do we think? The next question “Why did He come and for who?” The Jews thought they were special and so they were, but they could not visualize other people being involved as well. Jesus came to save all people so He then started to talk about the future and what He was to go through, The disciples found this hard to take. He went on to say that for those who followed Him.

Patronal Festival of St Faith 5.30 p.m., Saturday, 16th October, 2021 St Faith’s Church, Quairading

The Anglican Church in Quairading is dedicated to Saint Faith or Saint Faith of Conques who it is believed was a girl or young woman of Agen in Aquitaine. Her legend recounts that having been arrested during the persecution of Christians by the Roman Empire she refused to make pagan sacrifices even under torture. This led to her being tortured to death with a red-hot brazier. Her death is thought to have occurred in the year 287 or 290 AD. The centre of her veneration is the Abbey of Sainte-Foy, Conques, where her relics arrived in the nineth century. Important churches dedicated to her are at Conchesen-Ouche in Normandy and at Sélestat, in Alsace. The city of Santa Fe, New Mexico, and the Santa Fe Springs in Los Angeles, California, take their namesake from Saint Faith. St Faith is a patron of pilgrims, prisoners, and soldiers.

Orthodox Icon of St Faith The original St Faith’s Church in Quairading was dedicated on 8th December, 1911 while the present church was consecrated on 9th May, 1965.

The Guest Preacher at the Service will be the Rev’d Ross Jones, Chaplain, St Bartholomew’s House. St Bartholomew’s House (St Bart’s) is one of Perth’s leading community service organisations helping more than 500 people in Perth on any given night. It stands firmly by the side of vulnerable West Australians experiencing, or at risk of homelessness, offering mental health support, housing, crisis accommodation and aged care services to those who need them most.

All members of the Quairading community are welcome to join the parishioners of St Faith’s on this special occasion on Saturday, 16th November at 5.30 p.m. Further details are available from the Rev’d Canon Dr Philip Raymont, Priest-in-Charge of the Parish, on 0419 177 178 or praymont@perth.anglican.org
