INTERNAL CLUBS From the President Welcome to the Winter edition of the 'What’s On' magazine.

With the colder weather arriving it is a great time to get together with family and friends to enjoy some of the sensational meals and entertainment that are on offer at either of our two great Clubs.

I encourage you to casually peruse the contents of this magazine for further details.

Continued difficult and challenging economic times are being experienced by our Clubs and the wider Great Lakes business community. In light of these times and the fact that we have recently undertaken and completed major Clubhouse development works at Club Forster, the Club’s financial performance for the 10 month period ending 30th April 2014 was a modest Net Profit of $31,957.

This result is down $113,175 on last year’s Net Profit of $145,132. Consideration also needs to be made for a nonrecurrent cost of $192,003 representing increased worker's compensation premiums paid to date compared to last year.

The Club’s financial position is considered sound returning positive cash flows and holding accumulated cash reserves of $657,426 as at 30th April 2014.

Particularly pleasing is the continued strong trading at the Sporties Tuncurry which is up in all core areas of bar, catering and gaming. Forster’s '242ate Café, Bar and Grill' is doing very well by meeting all key financial targets with terrific feedback to date on the range and quality of meals.

I encourage you all to come in and experience '242ate' or 'Kenny’s Thai Kitchen'.

It is with great sadness that Dallas Shannon passed away on 26th April 2014. Dal’s contribution to the Sporties Tuncurry (formally Forster Tuncurry League & Sports Club) was significant for which Dal was recognized in 1982 as a Life Member. On behalf of the Board, Management and Staff I extend our sincere sympathies to Dal’s family.

Members, don’t forget that you do have to redeem all your Dolphin Reward Loyalty bonus points before the 30th June, 2014. You may like to redeem your points on a range of things like meat packs, chocolate nuts, enjoy a tasty meal in either of the club’s brassieres or even a nice bottle of white or red wine by contacting our friendly reception staff.

Finally, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the staff of Club Forster, who under the extreme circumstances suffered on Anzac Day with the wild weather and blackout, coped with the situation professionally and without fuss to move members and visitors upstairs, enabling the continuation of the day's proceedings. Well done!

YOUR CLUBS SUPPORTING YOUR COMMUNITY Club Forster & Sporties Tuncurry continue their proud and long standing support of their local communities by providing funding in excess of $135,000 and $100,000 in kind support during 2013/2014.

INTERCLUBS HELP 'THE HOUSE' The Ronald McDonald Forster Family Retreat is the fourth house of it's kind to be built in Australia.

It's aim is to provide free accommodation for families with seriously ill children and recently bereaved families to enjoy a much needed holiday together.

Recently, Club Director, Darcy Cheetham handed over the proceeds of the interclub raffle conducted at the annual Club Forster and Sporties Tuncurry Sports Awards evening to Cindy Loadsman, Secretary of the Forster Family Retreat. This donation will help in the upkeep of the cabins.

IT'S ALWAYS MUDCRAB SEASON! Club Forster & Sporties Tuncurry are proud sponsors of the Forster Tuncurry Mudcrabs.

Club members swim every Sunday at 9am at the Forster Main Beach Ocean Baths. Then everyone moves to the Forster Surfclub for a warm soup and BBQ breakfast on the verandah overlooking the magnificent Forster Beach.

Club Forster Vice President Col Cross recently caught up with Bob Lee (President), Bob Harkins (Secretary), and members Jason Berg & Dean Simpson, wishing them luck in the upcoming Northern Districts Winter Swimming Chamionships on the 6th July 2014.

KEEPING THE 'KRATER' ALIVE The annual 'King of the Krater' is a very popular local Skate/Scooter/BMX Competition run by young people for young people at Tuncurry Skate Park as part of the state-wide Youth Week celebrations.

As an additional benefit to the community, 'King of the Krater' have committed all proceeds towards the very worthy cause of the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service.

As major sponsors, Club Forster supports the event by way of a donation toward making the day a memorable and successful one.

Surrounded by several young participants at practice, our picture shows General Manager, Peter Clarke with Graffitti Buster, Ted Bickford OAM Your clubs supporting your community!

Her career defining album 'Lily' sold over 500,000 albums and over 300,000 singles of her mid 90's now signature song 'The Day You Went Away'.

Together, her albums can be found in over one and a half million Australian homes.

This tour not only re-establishes Wendy as one of Australia's most influential artist & iconic voices but also marks a new chapter in a career spanning more than 30 years.

Critics have lined up to sing her praises: "You may not hear this on the radio but you should hear it"- Cameron Adams ( Album of the Week - Daily Telegraph ) "With 'The Welcome Fire' Wendy Matthews has made an album which provides musical pleasure from beginning to end, where every song is a winner" - David Webber ABC "The Welcome Fire is the most personal and revealing album of her career".

- Kathy McCabe “Wendy is like a fine wine that you just can’t get enough of ! A rare talent with an awesome voice and now a new bunch of fabulous songs. She has never sounded better". - Richard Wilkins On The Welcome Fire Tour, Wendy and the White Horse Band will be performing all her classic hits including Standing Strong, Fridays Child, I Don't Want To Be With Nobody But You, The Day You Went Away, Token Angels and many more plus new songs from the new album.

JULY Peter Byrne's 'FOREVER DIAMOND'

30th Anniversary

Saturday 5th July @ 8pm

Club Forster & the Sporties are on Facebook

2014 Neil Diamond is a phenomenon who gives truly special and personal shows that legions of fans return to see again and again. A style that transcends music fads by consistently touching people of all ages and interests. The personal and magical interaction Diamond has on stage with an audience is legendary, breaking all box office records wherever he performs.

This is your opportunity to experience that same spontaneous display of energy and sensuality with the superb talents of Peter Byrne and 'Forever Diamond', a show performing Diamonds greatest hits spanning over three decades, in an uncanny portrayal that has to be seen to be believed.

Peter Byrne’s capacity to recreate Neil Diamond to a standard which impressed Diamond’s pianist on his last Australian tour says it all. Tom Hensley gave Peter a resounding nod of approval after seeing his Diamond tribute.

Irishman Byrne’s singing voice is eerie in its likeness to the megastar and providing the impetus for Byrne’s performance is a relentless pursuit to raise his Diamond act to a level that the man himself would endorse.

Peter’s career highlights are too many to mention, but the ones that stick in his mind was meeting his idol, Neil Diamond in 1996. August 2012 he celebrated the 40th anniversary of one of the greatest live albums of the 70’s Hot August Night, His idea was to re-enact every song from the album as Diamond recorded (with 30 piece symphony orchestra), and he did just that; and over 10,000 people were taken on a trip down memory lane.

Over the years Peter has been recognized by his peers in 2001,2002,2003 and 2004 when Peter won the prestigious ‘MO’ Award for Best Variety Production show and ACE Award for Best Tribute Show in 2001, 2002 2003, 2004, 2006, 2007 and 2008.

But with Peter’s ‘Forever Diamond’ show also solidly booked, there rarely seems to be an empty seat and the audiences keep coming back for more. With all his songs, they sing along, clap and show all the emotions that are found in every tune. "...the day I see a better Diamond, will be the day the man himself appears on stage... " (Adrain Revere...The Mercury) Showtime: 8pm Seating: Reserved Tickets: Members $25 • Non Members $30 • Children $15 SPECIAL! Groups of 10 or more only $20 each

COMING The Fabulous 'DELLTONES' Friday 17th October @ 8pm

THE DELLTONES - Harmony and Rock n’ Roll That’s Good for the Soul” Australian music legends The Delltones were told back in 1958 “Don’t give up your day job, this music is not going to last”. More than 55 years later The Delltones are still touring and delighting audiences with their highly polished, colorful and energized show.

The Delltones perform their well loved classic songs: ‘'You’re The Limit’, ‘Get A Little Dirt On Your Hands’, ‘Come A Little Bit Closer’, ‘Hangin’ Five’ including DooWop, Pop and Rock 'n' Roll songs “Get A Job’, ‘Papa Oom Mow Mow’ and ‘Mr Bassman’ from their full-blown revival in the mid 80’s Gold Album ‘Bop Til Ya Drop’ and their follow up album ‘Tickled Pink’.

The Delltones remain one of the most consistent live entertainers in Australia with arguably the longest performing and recording history for a vocal harmony band with an original member – Peewee Wilson.

If you only go out once this year, don’t miss the Delltones Live – They’re better than ever!

THE ACCLAIMED CONCERT OF THE FAMED MEMPHIS-BASED RECORD COMPANY - WHERE ROCK 'N ROLL WAS BORN DIRECT FROM THE U.S.A. - LIVE ON STAGE - AUSTRALIAN TOUR 2014 THE SUN RECORDS ALL-STARS is a concert based on the famed Memphis-based record company that launched the careers of Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis & Carl Perkins.

This official and exclusive touring show is in the spirit of the Broadway musical 'The Million Dollar Quartet' , and stars a talented ensemble cast headed by Jim Yorfido as Johnny Cash, Gino Monopoly as Elvis Presley, Bill Culp as Carl Perkins and Joe Passion as the legendary Jerry Lee Lewis. The Sun Records All-Stars show is about a magical era that still resonates with musicians and their audience. The music is timeless, without a doubt, and the musicians at the centre of it were originals who were true to themselves. They had authenticity and they weren't contrived - they were real artists.
