The weather is really starting to heat up now and I know a lot of you will be looking forward to taking a well-earned holiday. If that’s you, please be careful on the roads. There are a lot of crazy drivers out there at this time of year. At Brothers, we’re open every day over summer with the exception of Christmas Day. So if you’re looking for somewhere local to escape the heat and maybe grab a refreshing beverage or two, then your club is the place to be. As usual, we have the best mix of free live entertainment every week. Starting on the 5th of January we’ll be adding to it with a brand new dedicated Seniors Session. Transition will be playing on the first Tuesday of every month in the O Bar from 10am and we’ll have some special offers for seniors who come along. There’s a lot to look forward to over the summer in terms of promotions too. For one thing, the prize in our Happy Holidays promotion that runs through December is a $3,000 travel voucher plus $2,000 spending money. The hardest part will be deciding where to go. And a prize that I’d personally love to win in the second half of summer is the Armchair Athlete Package. If only I could enter! We also have a heap of new weekly promotions for our Summer Series and you’ll find out more about all of them in Graham’s article on page 6. I’ve probably said it a hundred times, but easily the most satisfying aspect of my job is when we are able to give back to the local community. This is why I’m so proud of the effort put in by Brothers, St Edmund’s and all the volunteers for our annual Carols on the Green in November. Together, we raised $20,000 for St Vincent de Paul Ipswich. Some of the photos from the night are on page 20 and the rest have been uploaded to our Facebook page. If I don’t catch you personally beforehand, I’d like to wish each and every one of you a safe and happy Christmas. Enjoy reading and I look forward to seeing you at the Club. Cheers,

AROUND THE CLUB WITH GRAHAM
Introducing our brand new
Summer Series It’s now been a couple of months since we launched the Brothers Advantage Program and already many of our members are realising just how easy it is to progress through the tiers, how fast the points add up and how much they can save just by visiting regularly and using their card.
You don’t even have to spend $45 a week to reach Emerald Advantage level where you will enjoy a twenty percent discount off just about everything. For a lot of people, that’s only a couple of visits for the occasional meal and a drink or two. While for others, it might be a decent night out a little less often. And of course, it gets even better from there. The great thing about the program is the savings aren’t capped. Unlike the previous system where the most you would save was a couple of dollars off selected items, the new system is based on percentages and applies to everything. This simply means the more you spend anywhere in the club, the more you save. And while all that’s happening your Loyalty Reward Points are going up faster too. So you’re saving more and earning more at the same time. But still, it gets even better. Starting 1 December, we’re introducing OffPeak Power Points as part of our new Summer Series of promotions. From now until the end of February, we’re shaking up our weekly promotion calendar to try a few things and see what the response is. It’s all part of our commitment to giving our members more chances to win more prizes more often. The Off-Peak Power Points come into effect from 10am until 12pm every day of the week. If you’re playing the gaming machines at that time, you will earn Loyalty Reward Points at triple
6
your normal Advantage level rate. So for example, if you are at Brothers Advantage level, you will earn points at three times the base rate. At Emerald Advantage it’s six times the base rate and so on all the way to Leprechaun Advantage where you’ll be earning points at fifteen times the base rate! That means that our entry-level Brothers Advantage members will be earning points at almost the same rate as the highest tier was under the old system. Those on the highest tier now will be earning them five times faster than that every day of the week. Another new promotion that I’m sure will be popular is our Weekday Waffel. We recently held focus groups that told us you guys wanted to see more raffles in the club. So from Monday to Friday we’ll hold a raffle with ten prizes drawn at 2.30pm. The prizes will include a mix of meat trays, fruit and veggie trays, beer, wine and some sweet treats. The model will be very similar to our Monster Raffle where the first person drawn gets their pick of the prizes. Tickets will be available to buy, but we’ll also give away ticket vouchers when you spend $10 or more at the Brasserie for lunch or if you win $200 or more on the pokies. There’s a couple of fun new promotional games to look out for during the evenings too. On Mondays and Tuesdays we’re introducing Oh Flip! which is basically a very simple one-on-one card based game played against our attendant. If you flip the high card you win $100 and there will
be five draws each night. The biggest weekly raffle in town will continue on Wednesday nights and our Members Draw on Friday nights stays too. Except now we’re expanding it. Throughout summer, the Members Draw will be on both Thursday and Friday nights which means you have twice as many chances to win and the Jackpot will go up twice as fast. We’re also adding another Consolation Draw, so now there will be two guaranteed prizes of $500 if the Jackpot isn’t won, with one at the usual 10:30pm and another one at 11pm. The other change we’re making to the Members Draw is it will now be possible for the Jackpot to go off twice (or even three times) on the same night. Previously, if the Jackpot went off, that was it, we reset for the following week. Now we reset immediately and there will be three chances to win even if someone has already claimed it on the same night. The final addition to our Summer Series promotional calendar is a bit like the old Battleship game. In Bombardier, you get to drop five bombs. You win cash for a hit and you take the jackpot if you destroy a target. It’s on every Sunday night. As for Major Promotions, we have a few goodies planned starting with our Happy Holidays drawn on Boxing Day. Collect entries each day throughout December until the draw and you could win yourself a $3,000 Travel Voucher and $2,000 spending money. That’s enough to get you to Bali, Fiji,

Tickets are available now from reception for only $20 or even cheaper online at outix.com.au. As always, New Years Eve will be another big event. In addition to all the regular promotions and entertainment
we have on Thursdays, we’ll also be giving out an extra $5,000 cash, Caught in the Act and Just Like That will both be playing for five hours each and we’ll give a glass of bubbles to any of our members who would like one at midnight. Our staff love to get into themes and you’re invited to join them by dressing up as your favourite fictional character or mythical creature. You might even win a prize.
Hotshots. These guys sell out every time they come here so don’t wait or you might be disappointed. Get your tickets now. Summer looks set to be a cracker at Brothers. We hope you have a bit of fun with our new weekly promotions and enjoy all the benefits of the Brothers Advantage.

This show will take you back to a time when bands such as Skyhooks, Sherbert, Daddy Cool, ACDC, Divinyls, INXS and Cold Chisel ruled the air waves. It will be upstairs from 2pm on Australia Day.

IN FOCUS
Ipswich Brothers
Cricket Club In 1949, a new Past Brothers Cricket Club evolved out of the C.Y.M.S. team with the intention of sponsoring cricket in the schools and providing an avenue for young players to rise to the top grade. Three years later, the word “Past� was dropped and they became known simply as Brothers Cricket Club.
“Brothers Cricket Club
is the oldest in Ipswich
In that first year they fielded teams in A grade, Reserve grade and Second grade. Today they have players as young as five taking part in the In2Cricket development program, with junior teams in the under 10s, 12s, 14s and 16s as well as the three open-age senior sides competing in the West Moreton Cricket Association competition. Cricket is Australia’s summer sport. With well over one million people playing the game last year, it is the number one participation sport in this country. Nowadays there is a range of formats from the quick sharp t20 Matches through to the traditional longer endurance type matches. Brothers Cricket Club is the oldest cricket club in Ipswich and has a long history of providing quality cricket opportunities to local cricketers. Two-time Allan Border Medallist and the only player to win the Australian Player of the Year award in all formats of the game, Shane Watson was a Brothers junior player.
Since their first taste of success in the 1950/51 C grade competition, Brothers Cricket has won more than forty premierships in various categories including last summer’s First Division One Day title. The club’s values are founded in the Christian Brothers history and the linkages with Brothers Leagues Club provide exceptional facilities and opportunities. These facilities are set to improve even further with the much anticipated move to new home grounds at South Station Road and Grange Road over the next 2-3 years. Playing cricket is a great way to make life-long friends and remain fit and active. As long as you enjoy playing with a bat and a ball, you’re welcome to give cricket at Brothers a try. With options for all ages and all skill levels, you can take it as seriously as you like. Beginners are certainly welcome, especially the 5-8 year olds in the in2cricket program. At the junior level,
the focus is on participation. The club has developed its junior numbers over many years by creating opportunities for all players to learn new skills and participate with their mates. When they get to the seniors, there is more emphasis on competitiveness while still having a good time. The third grade side is very social and is about giving everyone a game. Basically, if you want to come over and sign up you’ll get a game. At junior level you won’t need any equipment but seniors are expected to provide their own batting kit. Annual fees are $120 for juniors and $220 for seniors. Anyone looking to join can register via the club website at brothersipswich.qld.cricket.com.au or for more information send an email to ipswichbrotherscricket@gmail.com or call Club President Brent Kinnane on 0407 155 202.

BEHIND THE BAR WITH HALLSY
Cocktails I know for some people the answer to pretty much every question is always going to be ‘beer’. But every so often you find yourself in a situation where you want to broaden your horizons just a little.
And there’s a lot of great drinks out there that are worth a try.
Vivant’s Companion’ included 10 recipes referred to as “Cocktails”.
If you want to really step things up, then maybe have a crack at a cocktail.
The first “cocktail party” ever thrown was allegedly by Mrs. Julius S. Walsh Jr. of St. Louis, Missouri, in May 1917. Mrs. Walsh invited 50 guests to her home at noon on a Sunday. The party lasted an hour, until lunch was served at 1 pm. Unfortunately for us, this event predated social media by almost a century. So as far as I know, nobody at the party took any selfies.
Have you ever given any thought to where cocktails come from? Neither had I, until I realised I needed to write this article. So here goes. People have been mixing drinks for centuries, but it wasn’t until the 17th and 18th centuries that the precursors of the modern cocktail (the Slings, Fizzes, Toddies and Juleps) became popular enough to be recorded in the history books. The word cocktail these days can pretty much be applied to any combination of ingredients provided at least one of them contains alcohol. But there was a time when the definition was a lot stricter. The first published definition from 1806 describes a cocktail as a ‘stimulating liquor, composed of spirits of any kind, sugar, water and bitters’. A few examples of drinks that still conform to the original meaning of the word include the Old Fashioned, the Sazerac and the Manhattan. An American bloke by the name of Jerry Thomas is credited with writing the first book to contain a section dedicated to cocktail recipes in 1862. And this champion is sometimes referred to as the father of modern bartending. In addition to listings of recipes for Punches, Sours, Slings, Cobblers, Shrubs, Toddies, Flips, and a bunch of others long since forgotten, Jerry’s book ‘How to Mix Drinks’ or ‘The Bon
10
Prohibition in the United States played a key role in the development of cocktails. Firstly there was a switch from whisky to gin because it doesn’t require aging and it’s a lot easier to knock up a batch in the bath tub. And because most of what was available was pretty awful, honey, fruit juices, and other flavourings were used to mask the taste. It turns out, sweet cocktails are much easier to drink quickly if you are worried about a possible police raid. While being illegal wasn’t enough to hurt the popularity of cocktails, a bit of wartime austerity certainly slowed them down and by the 60s and 70s they’d pretty much gone out of fashion. However, towards the late 70s and into the Yuppie-dominated period of the 80s they started to make a bit of a comeback with Vodka replacing Gin as the most popular base. The first shooters (layered shots) were believed to have emerged around this time too with credit usually going to a steakhouse in Calgary, Canada who had them on the menu in 1977 – although not everyone agrees.
Popular culture has always played a roll in shaping cocktail trends going all the way back to the silver screen depictions of high society. I reckon these days you’d be hard pressed to find anyone who wouldn’t know what to order if they ever found themselves shouting James Bond. Apparently there was a surge in the popularity of Pina Coladas following the song ‘Escape’ by Rupert Holmes in 1979. The Tom Cruise and Brian Brown film in 1988 coincided with a wave of ‘flairing’ that refuses to completely go away. More recently, the television show Sex in the City made the Cosmopolitan the choice of empowered women all over the world. Cocktails are again going through a bit of an upward trajectory and the credit is going to the rise in popularity of reality television and the internet which are combining to make both food and drink presentation an art form that is easily accessible to the masses. Some people are bending over backwards to outdo each other in the most ludicrous ways possible with exotic ingredients and completely impractical ways of serving drinks. While I’m not a real fan of all that mucking around myself, I do have to concede on a hot summer’s day there is still definitely a place for a refreshing daiquiri or a mojito. If you’re feeling a bit adventurous, there’s a world of possibilities for you to explore. I’ll see you at the bar.
Cheers!
BROTHERS BULLETIN: SPRING EDITION
We have a range of cocktails we do regularly here at Brothers. The list gets updated from time to time but our most popular is still the old-school Fruit Tingle. For a refreshing summer alternative I’d recommend you give the Paraiso Bliss a go. Paraiso is a lychee liqueur and with a bit of Midori, orange and cranberry juice over ice, it goes down a treat!
The first cocktail “party ever thrown
was in May 1917.

IN THE COMMUNITY
It’s What Brothers Do
I have to be honest here. After living in the heart of the Gold Coast for nearly ten years and then being transferred to Ipswich at the height of summer takes a serious bit of adjustment.
Not that I minded the move but I kept wondering: where are the traffic jams, where are the restaurants, and the hordes of tourists and mostly, where is the water? As much as the mighty Bremer might pretend to be a significant waterway, it’s not the Pacific. My parish staff could see I needed a bit of a distraction so it was off to Brothers for an orientation to see what makes the locals love this historic coal town which is just a little bit country, a little bit big time city. One of the first things I was told very clearly when I arrived at Ipswich in January 2014 as the Catholic Parish Priest of Ipswich, Leichhardt, Rosewood and North Ipswich was that Ippy people love to belong. They also love their football, a party and a bit of a flutter, all in moderation. Since then I have seen examples of that connection every day, through schools, sports associations, music and theatre groups and service organisations, and, it would also seem, even church communities. Ipswich people, more than any other community I have been connected to in 37 years of priesthood, know each other, generally care about each other and like to spend time together. In fact if you search through enough registers you
12
will find they are nearly all related to each other. Lesson #1: don’t say anything negative about anyone, because you’re bound to be speaking to a relative. It’s hardly surprising then that a club like Brothers is such a great gathering point for thousands of members. Like church parishioners, members come to the club for varied reasons, but mostly it’s to be with others whose lives are like our own. It’s great to be able to walk into a place where someone knows your name, and wants you to feel like one of the family. That why the club name is so appropriate. It’s what “brothers” do; they care for and about each other. It seems a clear intention of the club to give people a sense that you can leave your troubles in the car park. Yet I also see the club as going the extra mile, by making sure that members and their families are cared for even when they are not attending the club, when life’s difficulties strike and you need something more substantial than a drink with friends. I see Mark Hennelly at so many funerals of Brothers members and their families at Saint Mary’s; I’m considering giving him his own pew. In my mind that’s how families, clubs and, might I say,
churches are supposed to be: not there for what they can gain, but what they can give when people need a bit of extra care or a helping hand when the going gets tough. Whether you go to Brothers to take your mind off your worries or to spend some time with friends new and old, the end product is to give you a lift and get you ready for the next day and all it may hold. As a club initially founded as a place of meeting for past students of Christian Brothers schools to gather and recreate both socially and in a sporting environment, the wonderful tradition of spending time with mates, colleagues and family members is now a tradition for many in the area. Yet this tradition has now expanded to have a pastoral component, where the club can help members get assistance from a range of professionals who can assist when the tough times hit. While it is not a “church”, the club is ready to help and will happily refer people on if needed. That’s what good clubs do, that’s what families do, and that’s what makes Ipswich Brothers the great success that it is today. Father Peter Dillon Parish Priest – Ipswich Catholic Community

IN THE KITCHEN WITH CHRISSIE
Summer BBQ The humble sausage sizzle is about as simple as it gets when it comes to cooking but I can’t think of an aroma that is quite as intoxicating as a fistful of onion being fried up with a few snags. To me, that’s the smell of summer.
14
BROTHERS BULLETIN: SUMMER EDITION
There’s a reason why they’re so popular for fundraising. I reckon most Aussies have that smell hardwired into their subconscious along with all their favourite memories growing up. I still find it impossible to resist stopping for at least one sausage sanga when I’m passing by the local hardware store or a school fete. We don’t claim to be the only nation on earth to BBQ our meat but by crikey Australian’s have certainly turned it into a national pastime. Which is why I was surprised to learn the tradition of the Great Aussie Barbie is a relatively new thing. Trademarks (for barbeques) only go back as far as the thirties. There were a few in the forties, but by the fifties, there was a bucket load. Of course, we’ve been cooking food outside since the first caveman accidentally dropped his tucker onto an open fire. But for a long time in these parts it just wasn’t the done thing. While the Americans have a tradition of social barbecues going back to before the Revolution (apparently old mate Washington held one as a political fundraiser), in Australia, prior to the fifties, eating outdoors was associated with the Depression and considered a food of poverty.
Given its current status as a cornerstone of our culture (and others), it probably doesn’t come as much of a surprise to find out there’s a lot of advice out there for the putting on the perfect barbie. And perhaps even less surprisingly, a lot of the advice contradicts each other. Some of the confusion stems from the fact that in different parts of the world the word barbecue means different things. The word itself probably comes from the Caribbean. A sixteenth century Spanish bloke was one of the first to use the word “barbecoa” in print to describe how the natives there roasted animal meat over a grill consisting of a wooden framework resting on sticks and a fire made underneath.
Secondly, preheat. Ensure your BBQ hot plate or grill is hot before you put any meat on. Meat should sizzle & seal as soon as it is placed on the BBQ. If you’re going to get a good crust on your food and that lovely BBQ flavour, you need your barbie to be hot before you start cooking. Don’t cut your steak to see if it’s cooked or you’ll lose the juices. Lightly press the surface of the steak with your tongs and with a bit of experience you’ll get a pretty good feel for it. Rare steak is soft to the touch, medium steak is firm to the touch and well-done steak is very firm to the touch and should probably be thrown out. Finally, let it rest. This will keep the steaks juicy and tender. Just loosely cover with foil for 2 to 4 minutes before serving. It has to do with letting the muscle fibres relax and take back the juices after the intensity of the heat.
“Australian’s have certainly turned BBQ’s into a national pastime.
Thankfully, publications such as the Women’s Weekly that took a lot of their inspiration from overseas trends helped turn attitudes around. Now barbies are as Aussie as Vegemite and we’ll take any half-baked excuse to escape the kitchen and cook outside. Most Australian households have a BBQ of some sort, from the simple wood or gas types to the huge, top of the range outside oven styles that require a compass to navigate and a degree in engineering to operate. And most houses that get built these days will include an outdoor area where the BBQ has pride of place. Australian BBQ habits can be pretty simple; we’re happy to slap a bit of meat between two pieces of bread, add a big dob of tomato sauce and gob it down with a beer or some cask wine. But at the other end of the scale, when the mood is upon us we can absolutely go to town with prime cuts of meat, poultry and seafood prepared in all kinds of gourmet marinades and served with a range of exotic salads and premium beverages. There isn’t much that doesn’t taste better when cooked outside.
For most of us here in Australia, barbecuing refers to a fast cooking process directly over high heat. While in the US, hot coals are dispersed to the sides or at significant distance from the grate where the food sits making cooking much slower. And then there are a stack of other variants involving smoking and other bits and pieces that are far too complicated to worry about. I once had a steak cooked on the back of a shovel over an open fire and I reckon it was as good as anything I’ve ever eaten. Although, the Bundy I had with it might have helped. Anyway, here’s a few simple tips based on the Aussie version of a barbecue that most people seem to agree on. Firstly, don’t cook cold meat. If you’re only going to change one thing about the way you BBQ, make sure you always bring your meat back to room temperature before cooking. Particularly for thicker cuts, this will help you overcome one of the greatest bbq challenges - getting the heat from the outside into the middle without burning the surface to a cinder. Start off at room temperature and you have a much better chance of pulling this off.
Perhaps the most controversial bit of advice you will find out there concerns how often you should turn your steak. Many experts (like my uncle) will tell you to leave it alone or it gets tough. Turn once, or maybe twice to get that cross-hatch effect from the grill but that’s it. And I know more than a few people who will scream blue murder if you dare flip a steak more than that. So at the risk of setting them off, I will simply say there is an alternative argument out there based on the science of heat and chemical interactions and championed by respected experts such as the internationally famous Chef Heston Blumenthal. He advocates flipping every 10-15 seconds to give your steak pulses of heat. Regular turning will give you a more evenly cooked interior and will cook it in about 30% less time. This brings us nicely to the last point I wanted to make which concerns barbie etiquette. And there’s a simple rule. Let he or she who is holding the tongs make the rules. Even when the steaks are on fire and the food looks like the charcoal it was cooked on, do not intervene unless you have been directly asked for your opinion. There is a sacred relationship between an Aussie and their barbie that should never be brought into question. Just grab them another beer and talk about the cricket.
Happy BBQing! 15

For the Love of Cricket
Indigenous Program
Nev Paulsen is the Club Coach at Brothers Cricket. He oversees all grades, from the little In2Cricket kids right through to the senior first grade side.
This is his second season in the role, but his association with Brothers goes back much further. For well over a decade Nev worked out of the office that Brothers provides as a regional base to Queensland Cricket. “I came out with my CEO,” Nev recalls. “We were looking to expand the Queensland Cricket organisation and Brothers offered us an office here. That was Brothers way of putting something back into the community.” After a total of 22 years working for Queensland Cricket and 20 years before that in the Air Force, Nev retired at the end of the 2012-13 season. He didn’t realise that around that time the President of Brothers Cricket, Brent Kinnane had sent him an email asking if he could recommend someone for the vacant coaching position. “I must admit that when I finished I pretty much switched off and didn’t look at emails too much.” It wasn’t until halfway through the winter that he finally found Brent’s message and sent a quick reply to see if Brothers had had any luck. When Brent told him they were still looking, Nev left it for a while, but eventually agreed to help out. “I just came down and thought I’d give back because Brothers were good to me and we had a great relationship,”
16
says Nev. “I felt part of Brothers.” Cricket has always been in Nev’s blood. One of his fondest memories was the time he got to meet an idol, the West Indian fast bowler, Wesley Hall when he was a child in Mundubbera. Famous for bowling the final over in the first tied test in 1960, the very popular Hall was in Queensland playing Sheffield Shield. “He was employed by one of those oil companies that don’t exist anymore and they sponsored him out here,” recalls Nev. “All the schools were there, there were about 200 kids there and Wesley Hall was there and he picked me out of the group of kids.” Little did Nev know, it was set up by the oil company person that used to deliver fuel to Nev’s dad on the farm where he lived. “He was a keen cricketer and every time he came out home he used to play cricket with me. And he knew I knew everything about cricket. So he said to Wes ‘pick that kid out over here.’ While Nev showed a fair bit of promise as a young player, life probably got in the way of him reaching his full potential. “As a sixteen year old I had an opportunity to come down to Brisbane. But I was an apprentice and dad didn’t have the money to finance me so I joined the Air Force. When you’re in the services your sport time is a little bit limited.”
“But I played grade cricket in Brisbane between ‘74 and ‘82 and in the services I played inter-service with the Air Force and combined services teams.“ Nev says he’s very much a skillsorientated coach. “I like to try to get things perfect. At national level these days they’re tending to go away from that and are just letting guys be natural.” And he is worried about the kids trying to emulate some of the unorthodox styles they see on television. “I’m still a little bit from the old-school. I think you’ve got to be able to do the basics and then you start doing all those things. And I think just about everyone at the top level of coaching still believes that.” While in some ways he would love to do a bit more with the team, he has to remain pragmatic about his role at Brothers. “Most of the guys at this level just want to come and take catches and hit balls and bowl balls and they love doing all that. But trying to get them to sit down and talk strategy and tactics is difficult. They don’t see that as valuable to them,” he says. “It’s not the guys’ fault. They want to come to training and they’re all good trainers. But they’ve all got jobs and I only get them every second or third week.”
“For me it’s not about winning premierships, it’s about doing what’s best for the cricketers that are here.” The club is very fortunate to have been able to secure somebody with Nev’s background. He began his coaching career almost forty years ago while playing grade cricket in Brisbane. “I was starting to get a bit older, thought I needed to get a bit smarter, so I went and did a coaching course in Brisbane.” At the time Nev was still in the Air Force and it was after being transferred to Melbourne in the early ‘80s that he took his coaching career to the next level. “When I went to Melbourne I had a few injuries so I thought I’d do a bit of coaching. Anyway they changed the accreditation system so I had to start all over again” During the four years he was stationed in Victoria, Nev went from a level one to a level three cricket coach. A level one coach is what you would typically find in charge of school or club teams. District representative coaches are level two. At level three you are qualified to coach at state or international level. Frank “Typhoon” Tyson was the Director of Coaching in Victoria at the time and obviously saw some potential in Nev. Not everyone gets to that level and you can only get there by invitation. Only two people are offered the chance to obtain level three accreditation each year. While Nev has received invitations to coach at clubs overseas, he never really held ambitions to take his career to the highest level. He thought it would be too stressful. However, he was always happy to lend the occasional helping hand. His true passion is in assisting disadvantaged people assimilate through sport. For many years he has been involved in helping with and coordinating various programs for intellectually disabled people and Indigenous people in particular. Nev says cricket and sport more generally can help people from disadvantaged backgrounds integrate into society. “A lot of these guys when they come to join the local cricket club probably don’t have jobs, they don’t have confidence and through playing cricket and assimilating they get confidence and they go out and get jobs, get married. You see them go on with life.” In 2011 he was the co-coach of the Australian Intellectually Disabled side that went to South Africa to play in a triseries between the hosts, England and Australia. That experience brought him into contact with the Lord’s Taverners
It’s about doing “what’s best for the cricketers that are here
who fund programs to support disadvantaged sports people – mainly cricketers. Although nominally retired, he still finds time to volunteer for these types of programs and others. He recently went to Thallon, about an hour south of St George near the NSW border with an organisation called the South-West Indigenous Network (SWIN), where he ran some clinics and handed out surplus uniforms donated by Brothers Cricket. He also volunteers for a State Government initiative called the Deadly Sports program that takes sport into Indigenous communities all over Queensland. “There’s been a group of us that’s done it over the years. We don’t have an Indigenous cricketer to become an ambassador so I’m sort of the next best thing because I’ve been involved with it for a long time and most of the Indigenous people around the place know me.” Nev describes one trip last year as being like a military operation that involved 28 coaches and 600 kids. “We actually did it at Blackwater, flew into Emerald and drove out there in about six or seven vehicles. Every kid in the whole community was there.” He has also recently taken on the role of Club Ambassador which is a Cricket Australia program that aims to ensure cricket has a meaningful presence within the Australian community. It’s a very select group with only five Club Ambassadors so far appointed in Queensland. “I got an email through the system to say ‘would you like to do this?’ and I thought ‘well I’m probably doing that anyway with what I normally do’.” Currently Nev is mentoring a couple of the school-aged players at Brothers to run the In2Cricket Program. He knows a thing or to about it. He used to be the state-wide coordinator for the program during his time at Queensland Cricket. And the future looks promising with a couple of his protégés having now completed their level one coaching course. While we all appreciate the work Nev continues to do at Brothers and further abroad, there is recognition from the man himself that at the age of 65, it can’t go on forever. “I have to have major surgery shortly, so that might quieten me down.” In the meantime, Brothers is truly fortunate to have Nev involved at our club. His passion for the game and for helping others is nothing short of inspirational.

GETTING TO KNOW
Bootleg Flyers A band that has only relatively recently burst onto the South East Queensland circuit has already made a huge impact at Brothers and established themselves as one of the most popular acts on the roster.
Since coming together a little more than a year ago, Bootleg Flyers have been in high demand from the very beginning. For those in the know, it probably comes as little surprise that these guys have been booked out every weekend as Jase (guitar/vocals), Kris (drums), Flash (bass/vocals) and Dave (vocals/bad guitar) are all well respected musicians in their own right with decades of experience between them. But it’s only together as Bootleg Flyers that a remarkable synergy has been realised and they all agree; this is without doubt the best band any of them have been involved in. Jase describes their sound as ‘groovebased’ and attributes this to the drum and bass laid down by Kris and Flash. “They lay a platform that is deep and thick and dancey, but not in a sort of disco way, it’s like a really groovy sort of way,” says Dave. But it’s a complete package that all four members contribute to. “No one sounds like Flash, no one sounds like Jase” says Kris. “And no one plays drums like this guy,” replies Flash. “Dave is a front man in the true sense which I think is really important,” says Kris. “When people want to come out and watch a band they have to be able to be entertained.” Being focussed on putting on a show for the audience is a key aspect of what Bootleg Flyers are about and is one of the ways they distinguish themselves from some of their contemporaries. “I guess being professional players for such a long time we know that without
24
the audience there’s no reason for us to be up there and we have to respect that,” says Dave. The genesis of the band was when Jase reached out to Kris via Facebook. At the time he only knew him by reputation from playing in the same scene. “I left the band I was in because I needed to start a band with this guy (Kris)” Jase explains. “Then on Facebook I see a picture of this guy (Flash) who looked like a rock n roll god in his profile picture playing bass and I said ‘I need to play in a band with this guy’.”
they realised they were onto something special. “It was like ‘Oh this is fun!’ ‘These guys are cool’. It just sounded great. It was just fun from the start,” remembers Dave. They have been booked solid ever since. “I was hoping for a night off when I finished my old band and started this one but it never happened” recalls Kris. “We haven’t really had a weekend off in a year.” “We actually want a weekend off so we can rehearse at some point but we’ve never had a rehearsal ever,” adds Dave.
“I don’t know who he is or what he sounds like but he looks really cool. So anyway, I contacted Flash and he said ‘yeah sure I’m keen to join another band’. So we met at the rehearsal room and had a bit of a jam.”
Far from being a problem, the lack of rehearsal adds to the spontaneity of the performance. When an idea comes up for a song to add to their playlist, they all learn it individually and only play it together on stage in front of an audience.
The final piece of the puzzle was charismatic front man Dave who joined a few weeks later after being recommended by an agent.
It usually just works. But they also know even if it does go wrong they are experienced and talented enough to get through it and turn a potential disaster into an original jam. To the crowd, it’s all just part of the show.
He turned up to see them at one of their early shows. After patiently waiting for him to finish his schnitzel, the guys got him up on stage to sing a few songs. “Probably within ten seconds of the first song Kris, Flash and myself looked at each other and said ‘yep, this is our guy’ and basically he got the spot straight away,” recalls Jase. Within a few days they were playing their first gig together at a jam-packed hotel. It had all come together so quickly that Flash forgot what the other members looked like. “I had to go through Facebook ‘is that the guy?’” he laughs. But as soon as they started playing
“We play the songs the way we want to play them. That’s what brings in that original feel. I don’t particularly care too much about how the drums are supposed to go,” says Kris. “Key parts, yeah sure, grooves whatever but if I think it should be a different way then I’ll just do it a different way and it just becomes our own. And that’s fine. I have no problem with changing a song to make it more suitable to what we do.” Doing it their way is one of the keys to their success. When a member of another band went to check them out, his assessment identified what makes Bootleg Flyers so special, saying “You guys look and sound like an original
band but you’re playing covers.” The guys want to be the best. They each share a professional attitude toward their craft and a genuine ambition to ensure each gig is better than the last. But at the same time they really just enjoy what they do. “We’ve been playing around in different bands for all of our lives. This is the first time there’s been no personal issues, there’s been no egos. Everyone is professional,” says Kris. “Every single person is on the same level and that’s the first time for all of us for that to have happened.” “In twelve months I’ve probably had more really good satisfying fun gigs than I’ve had in probably ten years of other similar type bands,” agrees Dave. And they also enjoy playing at Brothers in front of a loyal and growing following.
We play the “songs how we want to play them. | KRIS, DRUMS
“It’s just cool. It’s just fun. We always have a good time here,” says Jase. “Everyone is always dancing and having a great time and they really appreciate music here too which is really cool. They appreciate when you put in and have a good time. They want to have a good time with you and not all venues are like that.” The ambition for the band is simple, to stay together and enjoy the ride for as long as possible. “If someone leaves this band, the band will fall over. Because this whole band is the sound,” says Jase. At the moment, that doesn’t seem to be much of a risk as all the members of Bootleg Flyers are loving what they’re doing. And the rest of us are too.

WHY NOT TRY
Social Bowls
Brothers Social Bowls Club is another one of the Kindred Clubs supported by Brothers. They get together either locally or sometimes travel to other towns around once a month for a game of lawn bowls and a bit of fun.
28
Because of their association with Brothers they play a lot of games at the Ipswich Bowls Club but they also ‘get around a bit’ and have been known to visit interstate clubs for weekend trips.
Then if you like it you can buy a team shirt and take it from there.
The Social Bowls Club brings together people of all ages from all over the local area. The members say it’s a great club for bonding and you get to meet a lot of people.
They play all year round, usually on a Sunday afternoon or morning depending on the venue.
It will only cost you $5 per year to be a member and you can join them at anytime either on your own or you are welcome to bring a friend or two.
They don’t mind where you are from, but it is preferred that that you are at least a social member of a bowls club and of Brothers.
Even if you’ve never played before they’re happy to get you started. Just come to one of their local games and they’ll loan you some bowls so you can roll a few down. All you will need is some flat-soled shoes and you’re away.
If you’re thinking about joining up you can come for a couple of games to try it out and see if you’re interested.
While the point of Social Bowls is just to enjoy yourself and meet new people, they do hold a couple of events each
year that are a little more competitive, such as their Patrons Day and the Hoolahan and Jeffrey Memorial Trophy. This award has been given out each year since 1989 and it’s a memorial trophy in respect of all the past Brothers Social Bowlers that have been playing over that period of time. This year the trophy was awarded for a triples game held in October with over forty people competing and teams randomly assigned on the day. It was won by the team of Michael Hoolahan, Shari Palmblad and Sandra Peal. If you’d like to find out more about Brothers Social Bowls and maybe give it a go, all you have to do is contact Andy Orr on 3288 9847.
