Avenel Primary

Students at Avenel Primary School can now enjoy a hearty breakfast (or second breakfast for some!) at school two days a week. Breakfast Club is a popular event that was trialled last year, hailed as a huge success and developed into an ongoing initiative.

In addition to the yummy food, students also have a chance to socialise with their peers and teachers in a relaxed and casual format, setting them up for a successful day.

Avenel PS has a strong focus on student wellbeing and emotional health and this is just one of the ways students are catered for in this area.

Nagambie Mens Golf

The Nagambie golf club par specialist Terry Lowis has done it again with a +4 result to win the weekend competition, par is an event that requires steadiness, patience and consistency which most are unable to achieve, but Lowis seems to have the measure of the course and his opponents in par events. Runner up was Des Phelan playing quality shots throughout the round to finish +3 and Alby Seenan coming in third also on +3 missing out by one.

The nearest the pins went to dead eye Alby Seenan firing it close on both the 3rd and the 8th, Des Phelan stroking one up to the 13th and Shaun Spicer getting it right to land on the 16th. The Nagambie Summer pennant team played their last round of the season at home a disappointing loss was record 2&3 meaning the team who were top of the ladder can now not advance to the final, a bye is scheduled for next week and not enough points have been amassed to go through. Next Sunday on the Nagambie course will be the Gary Bow foursomes for both men and women with great prizes for both hit off is 8.00 to 8.30am on office duty is Gary Bow and in the bar

The Foursomes sponsored by Gary Bow were a great success with 18 pairs contesting the alternating shot two ball, the late surge of summer weather continued and a gentle breeze not enough to effect scoring was experienced. The alternate shot play can make or break friendships but the winning pair of Shaun Bryant and David Love have dealt with every emotion over the years, knowing one anothers game and temperament helped complete 18 hole with little drama, both drove the ball well and drained good puts when needed for a 79-11.567.5 winning total. Runners up were also a long term partnership that Freud himself would struggle to explain the dynamics of Jeff Mills and Phil Neville stumbled into second with a 87-18-69 gelling for the first time in a long time.

The nearest the pin prizes went to our days sponsor Gary Bow arrowing one up to the 3rd, Don Hughes smashing his way onto the long 8th and Peter Lawrence playing the shot of his round to capture the 16th. Many thanks go to Gary Bow for his continued sponsorship of the foursomes, next week's golf at Nagambie there will be two events across the weekend with a 4 person ambrose on Friday 24th February Sponsored by Costa Mushrooms
