Kevin Ingram, Mounties Group President, said: “Sport continues to grow within our membership, as well as grow our membership. Every year, more than 2,500 Mounties members participate in Sub Clubs, and we’re excited to welcome players back on the fields in 2019 for what’s expected to be another fabulous year.”

Mounties Community

PRetty in Pink When all members of the community pull together for a united cause, the power becomes unlimited.

The outcome from an entire community effort is something greater than what an individual can achieve alone.

Mounties Group participated in the inaugural Pink Ribbon awareness month this October raising $2511.90 towards the Cancer Council’s fight against breast cancer.

Our seven clubs, members, guests, and several staff were drowning in a sea of pink as they donned their pink Mounties Group 50th Anniversary t-shirts to raise money for a great cause. Donation’s were also collected boosting our fundraising total.

Coping with

CHRISTMAS While Christmas can be a time of fun and festivity, it can also be a stressful time having you feeling more stuffed than a turkey!

Here are some tips on how to enhance your health and mental wellbeing to ensure you make the most of the festive season.

Stress less! Be proactive and ensure all the Christmas preparations are completed early. Also make some time these holidays to unwind and relax.

Pursue mindfulness activities such as yoga and tai chi.

Avoid overindulging on food or alcohol. Both are key influencers of mood swings which could effectively ruin your day or affect your personal relationships with others. Ensure everything in moderation!

Spend some quality time with your family and friends. After all it is the season for family and social gatherings.

Mounties Christmas Carnival (15 & 16 December) and Carols (17 December) are a great way to get your dose of family and fun!

Give to those less fortunate.

Gift giving is an act of altruism which consequently, will make you feel good about yourself. Mounties is collecting gifts for The Smith Family until 10 December.

Gift yourself. Why not add yourself to the Christmas shopping list, surely you have been good this year. Maybe a pair of fancy Oroton sunglasses from the Mounties Gift and Bottle Shop?

Ensure constant physical activity!

Being active this season helps clear the mind and increase energy levels.

Spend some time each day to reflect on all the positive aspects in your life and appreciate your blessings.

Recipe OF THE

12

SERVES

15

PREP TIME

3

HOURS TOTAL TIME

Ingredients • 2/3 cup brown sugar • 6 cloves • 6 bay leaves • 1 pineapple, core removed, sliced • 2 tbs chardonnay vinegar • ½ bunch bay leaves • 1.8kg smoked ham Instructions 1. To make the glaze, place sugar, spices and 1 tablespoon of water in a large fry pan over high heat. Swirl pan occasionally until bubbling and golden. Add pineapple pieces and vinegar and cook for 6 minutes, turning pineapple pieces occasionally, until pineapple is golden and a glaze has formed from the fruit juices.

Set aside to cool.

2. Preheat oven to 180C. Line a rack with bay leaves. Using a small sharp knife, cut around ham shank in a zigzag pattern, then carefully run knife under skin, around the edge of the ham.

3. Gently lift off skin in 1 piece by running your fingers between the rind and the fat. Discard skin, then score fat in parallel lines, 1cm apart. Baste fat with some of the glaze and place ham on the rack and set in a large roasting pan.

4. Roast ham, basting with remaining glaze every 20 minutes, for 2 ½ hours or until caramelised. Add the pineapple pieces in the last 30 minutes. Slice and serve with caramelised pineapple.

MEET THE TEAM

Mark McDonough Customer Experience Coordinator @ Mounties

What is the greatest thing about your job?

It is hard to narrow it down to one thing because I love everything about my job.

If I had to narrow it down to two parts, it would be the fact I get to work closely with most departments/employees and the great work/life balance which the job allows for.

What do you believe makes a great customer experience?

To me it’s just about getting the small things right, from recognition to attentiveness and something as simple as remembering a person’s order.

30

Mounties Group

December - January 2019

Explain a time when you have gone above and beyond for a customer?

I always try my best to go above and beyond with customers, whether it’s loading 70 cases of VB into a car or taking on board customer feedback to make improvements within the business.

If you could trade places with anyone for a day who would it be?

Probably Tom Hardy. You know the old saying, happy wife happy life.

Eat, drink and be merry but without the weight gain

‘Tis the season of temptation, but we must ensure to make wise food and drink choices to enjoy the delights of the holidays without the extra kilos.

1

Be sure to keep moving! It’s unlikely you’ll eat healthily 100% of the time, so make up for the odd indulgence with exercise.

2

Implement portion control and save your calories! Determine quality over quantity and avoid mindlessly accepting whatever is offered and hold out for the food you value the most.

3

Control your alcohol consumption. Try alternating with a calorie-free drinks, diluting wine with ice or mineral water, and making every second drink a non-alcoholic one.

4

Drink mostly water! To make your water consumption more exciting drink sparkling or soda water or add slices of lemon or lime to iced water.

5

Avoid attending festive gatherings on an empty stomach, this will allow you to avoid overeating.

6

Focus more on socialising rather than eating and drinking.

It’s just a fact of life – come the holidays, you eat more than you should, you don’t make time to exercise, you put on a bit of weight, and then you kick off the New Year determined to shed it. What better way to do so than to purchase a year membership at Ignite Health and Fitness with zero joining fees, PLUS receive a month for FREE!

MOUNTIES SWIMMING COACH

MAKING A SPLASH Mounties Swim Club is going from strength to strength under the guidance of head coach Blake Medhurst. Medhurst has been swimming his whole life and leads the squad that includes kids aged eight to 18 and has seen massive growth over his tenure.

“When I first started with the squad about three years ago, we had about 60 kids, and now the squad has gone up to around 200 members,” said Medhurst. “We’re really excited about how many kids are getting into the pool, and how many are finding joy in swimming.”

The Club is also enjoying tremendous results, seeing two members of the squad qualify for the 2019 Australian Age Championships in Adelaide early next year. They have also secured spots in the Swimming NSW Open Water Championships, to be held in Sydney later this year.

“What I want people to know is that swimming is just like any other sport – you show up, you hang with your mates, you get in the pool and you compete. While it’s an individual sport in some respects, it’s definitely a huge team sport, and your squad is like your family,” said Medhurst.

Learn to Swim at Ignite Health and Fitness Our Learn to Swim programs are designed to provide a solid foundation for students allowing them a safe, confident swimming future.
