VOLUME 69 - ISSUE 31
FRIDAY, 7TH SEPTEMBER 2018
Why use this? We’ve developed this practical guide to help you ask, “Are you OK?” of any team member or workmate you’re worried about and then respond appropriately and safely to anyone who says, “No, I’m not OK.”
RUOK? Day is held in Australia on Thursday 13th of September 2018. This annual day of action is dedicated to reminding everyone that any day is a good day to ask, “Are you ok?” and to support those struggling with life. There’s a lot of good things about living and working outside Australia’s bigger towns and cities, but it also has its unique challenges. Fewer services, isolation and extreme weather events are just a few of the things that can be harder to deal with out here.

•
If someone you know – a family member, friend, neighbour or workmate - is doing it tough, they won’t always tell you.
•
Sometimes it’s up to us to trust our gut instinct and ask someone who may be struggling with life “are you ok?”.
•
By asking and listening, we can help our mates and others we care about feel more supported and connected long before they even think about suicide.
•
It’s something we can all do by following a few simple steps.
We all have life challenges. Having a sense of connection and belonging boosts our wellbeing and ability to cope with life’s ups and downs. So, this is a great opportunity for us to check in on our mates and to provide a safe environment for people to have regular and meaningful conversations in support of each other. www.ruok.org.au

FREE BBQ Saturday Night Woomera Sports Club We are happy to advise that NACPP will be putting on a FREE BBQ for people attending the Krazy Katz live music event this Saturday night. NACPP have graciously offered to not only supply but cook the BBQ for the event which gives the opportunity to make the volunteers night a little easier. I can’t express our gratitude enough for the help from the commercial contractors currently in Woomera the for the support in helping out with the food, putting money towards the cost of the bands and the supply of accommodation, without all of you it would not be possible for us to be able to bring the live music to town. As you can imagine the cost of bringing a band from Adelaide is quite costly to the club but with the support by the contractors and the community for coming and supporting the live entertainment we can continue to do so. THANK YOU THIS WEEK TO NACPP FOR THE SUPPLY AND COOKING OF THE BBQ AND THE WOOMERA TRAVELLERS VILLAGE CARAVAN PARK FOR SUPPLYING THE ACCOMMODATION
COME DOWN IN YOUR BEST BOGAN OUTFIT AND SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL CLUB, SAY FAREWELL TO SHANE (PORKY) AND HAVE A GREAT NIGHT OUT!! Gibber Gabber: A Woomera Board publication

WOOMERA DARTS LEAGUE 12 SEPTEMBER 2018
FIRST FINALS Locations TBA
Don’t forget to get your Wind-up names and money in this week please! Thanks, Will, for getting yours in so quickly.
GOLF CLUB DOWN THE FAIRWAY By the Pasty Putter Fine spring conditions greeted the players for last Sundays golfing which was a Stableford event incorporating one of the semi-finals of the club championship. Winner of the day went to Greg Budden with 40 points, and the runners-up accolades went to Wally Broome with 37 points. The NAGA award was a tight battle with Justin Allchurch hanging on to win with 27 points. The semi-final result between Greg and Justin went to Greg 7/5. Long drive hole 3 and long drive hole 16 went to Greg Budden, and there were no nearest to pins. The birdies nest will also prosper as hole 11 was drawn from the barrel, and no birds were recorded for this hole. Golf this Sunday will be an 18 hole event with everyone to be assembled for a 7.30am tee off, all welcome. Well, that’s all the Jibber for this week, so until next week I’ll see you in the bunker or the 19th and remember winners are grinners!
