Maleny Gym wishes to expand

M

CG president, April Adsett says that the Maleny Community Gym is now looking to expand its gym facilities as it celebrates its 25th anniversary and with a growing membership base. We are presently in the Show pavilion and we cannot expand any further.

The gym’s membership presently sits at 220 members aged from 12 to 90. The 90 year old member has been a member of the gym since day one. The gym committee is presently working with Maleny District Sport and Recreation Club to nd a space on the Maleny Precinct to build more infrastructure to better accommodate its members.

We are working on getting our lease for extra land, because without that leased land we cannot apply for state and federal funding grants. We plan to fund any expansion through various government grants. https://www.malenygym.com/

The Range Croquet Club - Maleny The ricochet group met on Tuesday morning with Sarah Widin, Stuart Craig, Lynette Evans, Ted Gardner and Ken Barker determined to tear up the lawn. Ken left early but the remainder of his team, Lynette and Ted managed to sneak in ahead of Stuart and Sarah. “Winners are grinners” was the caption on the attached photograph to right . It would appear to be so by the happy facial expressions of Lynette and Ted. Serious game play in Association began on Thursday when the Division 1 section of the November tournament was held. Mike Bertram of Caloundra won on a count back from Ken. Mike was a deserving winner because their individual game went to golden hoop which both players “bombed” a couple of times due to rst game nerves.

On Friday, in the second division section Donna came in ahead of Ken also on nett points having defeated him convincingly in their individual game.

It was a good result.

Third division was played on Saturday. There were two blocks. The winners of each, Dianne Horsman and Lynette played off in a nal which Dianne won, illuminating a lovely competitive tussle which is developing between these two who have fought each other for supremacy in this division over the last six months.

Fourth division between Wallace Roy and Carole Atkinson was a nail biter. Carole won the rst game.

Wallace came back to win the second and third by margins of one In each game. Great to watch.

Congratulations to both.

Congratulations to all who played in the event.

Many thanks to those who helped with the catering.

Special thanks to Vince Carbery for organising and refereeing and also to Donna for refereeing.

Croquet provides nonstrenuous exercise and an effective low-intensity workout.
