Best little club goes big Say Ciao to Alex What’s on at The Clubhouse The chef’s selections

ALL of our venues were well received over the holiday period, especially the RSL Services Club and Burpengary Community Club.

Christmas Day was again massive with our venues fully booked in Hervey Bay and serving almost 1000 people on the day. We express a sincere thank you to all staff who worked on Christmas Day.

An additional six new gaming machines authorities have been purchased to enhance the gaming floor at Bayswater.

The painting of the Anzac Sports Bar has now been completed giving the room an uplift with the almost white colour scheme. There has also been an enhancement to the furniture in Hervey House. We have replaced the 20-year-old chairs with modern and comfortable chairs throughout the entire room.

Mini Golf, Truro St, Torquay:

In the coming weeks we will see the carpet replaced and some work done in the bar and female and male toilets. The installation of the solar panels started on February 7 on the main roof of the Club. The 244kilowatt system should be completed by the end of April depending on the weather being kind.

Planning is continuing for the deck and kitchen extension on Level 1. When more information becomes available, we will advise members.

At the Clubhouse, the relocation of the buggy sheds has been completed, in addition the finalisation for the additional 72 car parking bays is slowly being completed and is only a couple of weeks away.

Plans have been finalised for the building works at the Clubhouse being a new kitchen extension and new dining/function area. In addition, a new front façade at the Club entrance. The plans are currently out to tender whereby we are expecting to know the costings shortly to enable our committee to make an informed decision on the progress of these works.

Our committee has engaged ROHRIG Building Contractors, at an early stage, to achieve the best price possible for the extension and refurb. ROHRIG were our builders who completed the fit out for the Burpengary Community Club for us.

Since the last meeting trade has commenced at SeaBar469. New head chefs have been appointed including Amanda Marchant at the Bayswater Bar & Grill and Steven Kilminster at Seabar469.

Bayswater Bar & Grill also has appointed a Venue Manager in Joseph Bax who is young and keen and comes from a strong hospitality background from the Gold Coast.

Whilst construction has begun on the Mini-Golf course, the major hold up has been the relocation of the sewerage line from across our property to outside our boundary, as required by Fraser Coast Regional Council.

The Mini Golf builder unfortunately had to leave the site due to the sewer relocation and is expected to return sometime in March to recommence work.

The café work will hopefully start in the coming weeks.

Burpengary Community Club: Trade has been superb in recent months in particular food, beverage and gaming. The Club is coming up to two years of trading and now has a social membership of over 23,500 members. These are good signs for the future, and we look forward to supporting this community and further reaping the rewards of everyone's continuous hard work in making this venue a success.

Both our motels, the Comfort Inn on Main and Hervey Bay Motel, have also been trading well over the holiday period with the Comfort Inn being the standout.

Finally, I have some good news for our members. The Federal Government has announced that from February 1, 2023, the price of draught and packaged beer will rise due to the excise duty rates increasing by 3.7%. This price rise is on top of the last August 2022 increase of 4%. The new rate increase is $97.90 per litre of alcohol. The 'good news' for our members and patrons is our Club Management has decided we will NOT increase the price of draught and packaged beer at our Club. Our prices will remain the same for schooners and packaged beer such as bottles or cans at pre February 1, 2023 prices. Our Club will absorb the cost of the new alcohol tax at this time.

When you see me in the Club be sure to say hello.

Best wishes and enjoy your Club in 2023.

OUT & ABOUT AT

YOUR CLUB IT’S been a magnificent couple of months at the Hervey Bay RSL with so many wonderful events celebrated including Christmas, New Year’s Eve, Australia Day, Valentine’s Day and lots of live shows and entertainment.

If you can believe it, we're now looking ahead to Easter and ANZAC Day with the club sure to be a hive of ac vity!

With an eerie resemblance of Freddie Mercury in both looks and sound, tribute extraordinaire Johnny Blunt took guests on a journey back the 70s when Queen were the king of the airwaves.

The stage in Hervey House was home to replica costumes, instruments, and Freddie's muchloved flamboyant mannerisms.

Lots of patrons put in a wheely good effor t trying to win this brand-new MG3 but our member Matthew was a car above the rest after taking out the top prize on New Year's Eve! Other lucky patrons had some New Year cash to splash with a share of $3000 for the runners-up.

Congratulations to all our winners!

The dance floor in Hervey House got a good workout recently with guests of the Australian Buddy Holly Show grooving to the rock 'n' roll legends greatest hits.

Lead singer Kris Knight and the Kricketts performed an exceptional tribute to the late great rocker.

A colourful crowd poured into Hervey House recently for the super fun Charity Trivia Night where a huge amount of effort went into the guests' brilliant costumes.

All the brainiacs efforts helped raise funds for local mental wellness group Fraser Coast Mates.

Santa pulled out all the stops to ensure there was lots of happy little faces on the day of the Giant Christmas Toy Raffle.

He was so excited to hand over an Xbox, push bikes, toys, a drone, remote control car and so much more. Congratulations to all our lucky winners!

It was two hours of pure entertainment at the Full House Band's Crowded House and Split Enz Experience in Hervey House.

COMMUNITY SUPPORT FOR DV AND FV VICTIMS IT is a basic human right to live in a safe and healthy environment free of domestic violence.

However, for some, that right has unfortunately been taken away.

That's where Yoorana Women's Domestic Violence and Resource Service comes in.

They are committed to ensuring women and children live a safe, healthy, and happy life free from Domestic Violence.

The service is a refuge, with three sites located in Maryborough and Hervey Bay, providing safe accommodation to women and children escaping violent situations.

Sadly, Yoorana services up to 128 women and children locally each year out of domestic and family violence.

Manager Tanya Sanders said Yoorana is

guided by the feministbased principles of autonomy, choice and empowerment and are dedicated to fostering an inclusive environment to create change and improve the safety of women and children.

“We provide temporary accommodation, therapeutic support, counselling, and advocacy,” Tanya said.

The Hervey Bay RSL Community Grants Program has assisted the notfor-profit organisation in the past with buying a new washing machine, removal of a tree, security screens for the doors and an office printer.

The cottage received further assistance recently with a $3380 grant to replace tired and worn window shutters.

“Thanks to the RSL grant we now have three rooms sheltered from the afternoon sun since the installation of the shutters,” Marie said.

“The grant money has been utilised to positively impact the women and children of Yoorana who are navigating through the chaos that is Domestic and Family Violence,” she said.

The Hervey Bay RSL has played in important part in helping to provide that atmosphere recently with a $4667 grant to buy two trampolines, two

“The children will benefit from outdoor play and additionally having a television equipped with Smart features which will allow our families to feel at home whilst they navigate through such a traumatic and turbulent time.

“We would not have been able to do this without the RSL's support.”

PITCH FOR PRESIDENT'S TEAM THERE’S no rest for the wicket as far as young Caelan Barr is concerned.

The talented Hervey Bay cricket player was selected to play in the U14s Wide Bay Cricket Team, that competed at the Queensland Junior Cricket Southern Championships on the Gold Coast recently.

Myriam Cottage is a three-bedroom home in Scarness that was purchased by Marie Gibbon in 2016 to fulfill her late mother's dream of buying a house and opening the doors to accommodate the less fortunate.

The aptly named cottage has since been home to 77 women who have found safety in the short, medium and long-term accommodation.

Tanya said the new additions to the homes have helped the women and children's wellbeing and healing during their time of crisis.

“We provide good quality accommodation with capacity for client privacy and wherever possible a homelike atmosphere.”

GRANT SUPPORTS HOMELESS WOMEN

Marie used the proceeds from her mum Myriam's estate to ensure her wishes were honoured.

swing sets and two TVs and brackets for the Hervey Bay refuge.

A $250 Hervey Bay RSL grant helped to cover some of the entry costs to the prestigious competition where Caelan's performance was outstanding.

“The ladies in our care are so happy and very grateful.”

Marie said most of the residents are referred to the cottage from Mental Health Unit Outpatients, Head Space, Domestic Violence, Social Workers, Case managers, and community members, with the women all homeless for reasons beyond their control.

The cottage is run by volunteers who help guests gain valuable life skills through cooking and cleaning classes, therapy, budgeting, self-esteem building exercises, and supporting them to find employment.

To contact Myriam Cottage, phone 4124 7421.

Not only did the Under 14 Colts Captain take 7 for 17 for the Wide Bay side, at the end of the carnival he was also selected to play in the QJC President's XI merit team.

Caelan's proud mum Melissa said he contributed with both bat and ball in all five games.

“He finished the week with a top score of 58 against Sunshine Coast and best bowling figures of 7/17 against Darling Downs and Southwest Queensland Cricket Inc (DDSWQ).

“Caelan was playing against the best players in his age group from Southern Queensland and we're very proud of his achievements.

“Thank you to the RSL for your support.”

They will compete against the best of the best in every country, nation, level, and style!

A $1500 Hervey Bay RSL Community Grant awarded to both athletes will help pay for their flights, accommodation, competition entry fees and event insurance.

FISHING FOR NEW IDEAS THE Hervey Bay Amateur Fishing Club have always thought outside the water when it comes to integrating the local community into their club activities.

However, the insurance company covering their liability had different ideas.

Margaret, the club's social secretary, said the HBAFC has always been inclusive to members of all ages and abilities with club days and their popular annual Junior Whiting Competition, which is a public event that teaches children the basics of fishing with a little prize pack at the end.

They host lots of sausage sizzles and fundraising activities

with funds going back to local charities.

Insurance premiums to cover these activities rose significantly last year and meant that events in 2023 would be unaffordable.

But with the assistance of a $1200 Hervey Bay RSL Community Grant to pay for this cost, the club can now get back to concentrating on working together to run a club that benefits members and gives back to the community, Margaret said.

There are some great ideas on the horizon.

BAY'S KARATE KID GETTING involved in Karate has been a life saver for Hervey Bay’s Tobias Outred.

CHAMP IN THE SPOTLIGHT

A Hervey Bay RSL Community Grant of $1500 plus $500 in fuel vouchers helped pay for accommodation, entry fees and fuel costs.

Not long after Tobias started attending Bayside Martial Arts and his development just blossomed, said mum, Simone.

“Karate has been an amazing support for Tobias helping him develop confidence, discipline and respect,” Simone said.

“Without a doubt I am sure that his calmness, decrease in anxiety and ability to interact in a respectful way is due to what he has learnt and achieved through the dojo.”

Tobias now trains several times a

“Without this grant Tobias would not have been able to attend the championships,” Simone said.

“It is such a huge achievement for him to have been selected and shows how committed he is to the sport and how far he has come since starting his training.

“Receiving this grant and allowing Tobias to enter the championship will help to continue his personal development.”

The 11-year-old was chosen for the team based on his standout performance at the National Club Futsal Championships held in Brisbane last year.

After 12 days of playing 808 Futsal against other Under 11 American teams, Lucas and his team were crowned champions of the tournament.

Mum Rebecca said the win was an extraordinary effort with a lot of uncertainty going into the competition.

“The team members and coach didn't know each other prior to the tour and trained together over in Hawaii, around the tournament,” she said.

“Lucas scored four goals over the tournament and he is only 11!

“He has a dream to become a professional football player and continues to train hard daily.”

That dream could be realised one day soon with Lucas catching the eye of London-based coaches at the Regional and National Westham Football camps in Australia last year.

“His hard work is paying off and he has recently been selected to go to the Westham UK Development Tour in September 2023.

Tobias achieved some amazing results after placing silver with his team doing a synchronized Kata and a bronze medal for his individual Kata.

“He is very excited!”

The Hervey Bay RSL was proud to support Lucas' dream of playing for Australia with a $1500 Community Grant to help cover costs associated with the big trip.

“I am amazingly proud of the resilience he showed.”

NEW WAY TO GEAR UP FOR COMPS

This brilliant effort saw oscar selected in the Queensland under 15 team for the Australian Championships being held in April 2023.

Cyclists need an extraordinary amount of time for warmup prior to races with all events held on the open roads.

Sandy Ford from Fraser Coast Cycling incorporated said senior cyclists can pedal up to 50km before hitting the start line.

Junior riders don't even contemplate open road warmups due to the danger of traffic on the roads.

So, you can imagine the club's delight when they received the good news that they had been successful in obtaining a $3000 Hervey Bay RSL Community Grant to buy four sets of stationary rollers.

for events,” Sandy said.

“Our club can't thank the RSL enough for this kind support of our club. The rollers are an invaluable part of training for our members.”

Junior cyclist Oscar Schoff said the sponsorship has made an incredible difference to the way he now prepares for competitions.

Sandy said the rollers allow club members to better prepare for events and eliminate injuries.

Affectionately known as the club's 'pocket rocket', Oscar made good use of the rollers while training for the Queensland Juniors and Masters Championships held in Brisbane.

“Currently their warmup is very hit and miss but with these rollers it will enable all members to actually better prepare

All that training paid off with Oscar taking home a Gold in the Individual Pursuit, Gold in the Points Race, Silver in Time trial, 4th in

“The rollers provide important training routine that cannot be replicated on the road,” Oscar said.

“They also help in gaining better bike control when racing, particularly important when sprinting at the end of a race or when racing in a velodrome.

“They are also great to use for training when the weather is not so good to be out on the road… thankfully that doesn't happen too often in Hervey Bay! “I am so thankful to be able to use this equipment, and for the sponsorship that the RSL has given for our club to purchase these.”

UPCOMING SWIM STARS MEET

ON TRACK FOR CHAMPIONSHIPS

HUNDREDS of entrants made a splash at the Hervey Bay Aquatic Centre over the Australia Day weekend.

A $500 Hervey Bay RSL Community Grant has helped one young Hervey Bay athletics star compete at the Australian All Schools Track and Field championships in Adelaide recently.

Ryan Cunningham is a member of the Hervey Bay Little Athletics Club and has been training hard to reach his goal of competing in the Queensland track and Field Championships in March 2023.

The Hervey Bay Swimming Club hosted their highly anticipated annual Long Course Swim meet, and it was a great success!

Overall, there was 39 gold medals, 43 silver medals and 30 bronze medals awarded.

There was also 53 personal bests and 21 pool records!

A Hervey Bay RSL Community Grant of $4000 helped to cover the costs of the event which attracted 217 swimmers and

He also hopes to qualify in the 800m at the Australian Junior track and Field Championships in April 2023.

Placing 7th in the 800m at the championships has now put Ryan in a great position to achieve this goal.

24 clubs from around the Wide Bay region.

The grant assisted Ryan's family with the cost of flights and accommodation to the championships.

Not having to pay these fees out of the club's coffers means entry fees are made more affordable for entrants and their families for this competition and at weekly club nights during the year.

“Ryan really enjoyed competing at these championships and is very motivated with his training,” said mum, Lynley.

“Thank you for the sponsorship to help get Ryan to these championships, we really appreciated it.”

Congratulations to everyone involved!

COMMUNITY

PROGRAM 2023

There is always a hive of activity going on at the Hervey Bay RSL with patrons enjoying everything from bingo and functions to cold drinks, great food and a flutter in the TAB or gaming room.

What many don't know is that while they are having a good time out, they are also helping to give back to the Fraser Coast community. The RSL is the only club in Hervey Bay that runs a Community Grants Program, which has seen local sporting clubs, individuals and community groups receive a share of over $900,000 in the last financial year. The grants program celebrates and supports individual achievements and those charities and not-for-profit organisations doing incredible work on the Fraser Coast.

Application forms are available online at herveybayrsl.com.au or by phoning Kerrie Alexander on 41977466.

(CONTINUED)

COMFORT IN RFAC CARE THERE is no doubt that Rally for a Cause recipients would feel an instant sense of relief when they find out the charity is in their corner.

The Hervey Bay RSL is proud to be a Dunga Derby Rally Partner and once again a Gold Sponsor of local charity Rally for a Cause in 2023.

The RSL has been a major supporter of this vital charity for many years in many ways, including having RSL Cars #888 and #40 go off the beaten track for the Dunga Derby.

We look forward to another adventurous run on the Dunga from Thursday, August 3 to Sunday, August 6.

Mum Summer said Archer's brain forgets to tell his body to breathe and needs to be attached to a portable ventilator machine every time he falls asleep or is sick.

That was unfortunately the case for four-year-old Archer and his family.

The local boy was diagnosed with Haddad's Syndrome which has two very scary components.

The retired Gunner will then head to the poignant Anzac Day Dawn March and Service at sunrise – the time of the original landing in Gallipoli.

Brian was in a small unit with “120 blokes” and unfortunately over half of them have now passed away.

“The Dawn Service is the ex-services parade,” Mr Tidyman said.

“We don't get to see each other all that much because of distance but when we do get together, we remember the good times and remember the mates who have gone before us.

The veterans will step-off from the RSL for the Dawn Service march at about 5.15am, followed by the Main March at about 10am with veterans, current serving members, service groups, schools and dignitaries.

“It's the one where we remember our mates.

“I have some very close mates from Vietnam that are still with us.

“This year will be 54 years since we left Australia to go to Vietnam.”

“The Main Service is for the public to pay their respects and that's why we only allow veterans to march in the Dawn Service.

The veterans and current serving members will then return to the RSL for a private Gunfire breakfast, where they will be sure to raise a glass or two to their fallen mates, tell tales and exchange yarns.

The RSL will then open to the public from 1pm, with the café open at this time.

Two-up will be held in Hervey House from 1pm.

GUNFIRE BREAKFAST Sub-Branch members who would like to attend the Gunfire Breakfast from 6am at the RSL, MUST BOOK their ticket at the Sub-Branch office.

THE SERVICES DAWN SERVICE: The Dawn Service march will leave the RSL Club at about 0515 hours and the service will start when the march has entered Freedom Park at about 0530 hours.

MAIN SERVICE: The Main March will step-off from the RSL carpark at about 1000 (10am) hours and move to Freedom Park. The service will commence at 1030 hours. There will be a RAAF flyover at a time yet to be decided.

All Welcome

That wish has now become reality with works currently underway on a three-tier sandstone-lined terrace that will improve the comfort of veterans and others attending memorial services.

Each terrace will have room for guests to use their own seating or sit directly on the sandstone.

The Hervey Bay RSL Sub-branch gained an $88,000 grant from the Gambling Community Benefits Fund to help fund the project which is being undertaken by Council's Open Space and Environment team.

The project is expected to be completed and the site re-established before ANZAC Day commemorations.

Stairs, with support handrails, will be installed through the centre of the terracing to facilitate access.

Sub-Branch President Brian Tidyman said the three terraces will be dug into the natural slope on the western side of the park.

He said the terrace seating will provide an element of both comfort and safety.

“At present people attending events at the park, especially our mature veterans, find it difficult to stand or use chairs because of the slope,” he said.

“It was also dangerous and slippery to walk on with morning dew at memorials like the Dawn Service.”

The Sub-Branch office IS AT HERVEY BAY RSL, LEVEL 2 AND is open Monday-Friday 0900-1230hrs.

Patronage only continues to grow so it was time to meet the public's demand for a bigger and more modern club.

The piece de resistance of the plan is the new functions room with glass windows to allow for views of the spectacular sunsets and wildlife wandering the greens; the perfect backdrop for a wedding or special occasion.

Over the next six months the interior of the club will transform into an unrecognisable space with a brand new kitchen and an extension to the Hole-inOne gaming room.

The Hervey Bay RSL Services Club saw the potential the existing club house had after buying the business in 2015 and invested over $1 million in refurbishments.

The upgraded Sports Bar and new big screen TVs are sure to be a hit with the punters.

The functions room will cater for 160 people with round tables, 180 with rectangle tables and 220 in theatre-style setting.

SAY CIAO TO ALEX There’s an exciting new addition to The Clubhouse Bar & Grill with new head chef Alex Biguzzi now at the helm of the kitchen.

Alex has been a valued part of the RSL Group having worked previously at the RSL, Bayswater, and Salt Café and he is now looking forward to leading the Clubhouse kitchen team with plenty of fresh ideas to come in the future.

The Italian-born chef grew up on a farm on the east coast of Italy in a city called Cesena where tradition sees family live together, cook together and in Alex's family, farm together.

I saw every vegetable on the planet,” Alex said with a laugh.

“My Grandmother played a big part in learning to cook fresh pastas and making salami from pig.

“I grew up with that food culture and having had that connection with food growing up ignited the passion in me and is a big slice of why I'm doing what I do now.”

Alex said he is feeling right at home in The Clubhouse kitchen working alongside Sous Chef Lisa who comes from a similar farming background in New Zealand.

He lived with his parents and grandparents and making homemade pasta, salami, sauces and pickles was custom.

Their eggs were from the farm's chickens and the produce was picked fresh from the land.

“We just grew whatever the companies wanted to buy so I think

and barbecue sauce.

Alex looks forward to offering a little taste of home in his cooking while still using flavours Australia is famous for.

Both chefs believe that fresh is best and the view to add a little slice of Italy to the menu in the future has been met with great enthusiasm.

“I love the creativity part of cooking. You can do whatever you want, there's no rules.”

The team have already started making fettuccine from scratch as well as homemade tartare, aioli,
