WELCOME TO THE TATTLER – SPRING 2019

FROM THE PRESIDENT The author John Powell famously said “Communication works for those that work at it.” The modern age has seen our inboxes, letterboxes and lives inundated with large volumes of information. While Tattersall's cannot solve this problem entirely, we can better serve our Members by ensuring everything we send adds to the Member experience and provides pertinent information.

Better Communication Over the next six months the Club will be using Member feedback to refine the way we communicate. The team are reviewing our IT systems to identify ways to send more targeted information to different audiences within our Membership. We will be reducing the number of emails sent to all Members and creating more tailored channels of communication for Members with shared interests. More than three hundred Members participated in a recent survey about our Tattler magazine. We will be keeping the Tattler in a printed form but adapting the content to reflect what Members want more of and less of. (See article on Page 4). We know 25% of Members would also use an electronic copy. The next edition will contain more content on Members main interests and we invite continual commentary on feedback@tattersallsclub.com

Membership Members have asked in recent months for an update on Membership. Family Memberships

launched in February this year and in the four months to June 2019 the Club welcomed 368 new Members. Of these, 231 were Partners transitioning to full Membership (Couples’ Membership). Sixty-nine were men joining for the first time and another twelve men reinstated their Membership. Thirty-two women have joined as individual Members. It is particularly heartening to see twentyfour children and grandchildren of current Members choosing to join as this generation will underpin future growth. The 368 new Members compares to 60 Members joining over the same period in 2018. Member resignations occur each year in December/January and have been tracking at around 140 - 150 per year over the past decade. In 2019, 186 Members resigned with the increase attributed to forty Members who advised us they did not support expanding Membership to women. The balance of resignations mirrored previous years with Members citing ill health, retirement, relocation or financial difficulties. Membership enquiries have increased by around 50% and a campaign to formally launch Family Memberships will occur in the second half of 2019. The legal challenge early in 2019 delayed this effort but the silver lining is we now have over 300 new Members who can help us understand what motivates people to join in 2019.

Patronage Patronage has increased across the Club and this is particularly apparent in our beautiful Members' Dining room. Usage of the Members' Dining Room is up from 34%

to 52% and our Healy Room has similarly increased usage by 11%.

Tattersall's Arcade Members have told us they would like to know of any incentives Arcade Tenants offer exclusively to Tattersall’s Members. We are investigating and collating this information to be shared in the near future. The Arcade welcomed Rodd & Gunn men’s fashion in July and hope to fill the one remaining space this year.

David Bark Club CEO David Bark decided to leave the Club in July this year and we acknowledge his contribution and commitment to the role despite serious health challenges. David started with us in 2017 and led the team during a challenging time that delivered an expansion of Tattersall’s Membership Structure. Thank you to those Members who sent letters to David following news of his departure. We are sharing these well wishes with him and wish he, Lisa and the family the very best. Tattersall's is heading in to the second half of 2019 busier than last year and with a resurgence in Membership numbers. The Club leadership are looking at what organisational structure best underpins our future growth and I look forward to sharing this with you in the next edition of the Tattler. Amicitia Vita Est Yours in friendship Stuart Fraser President

TATTLER SPRING 2019

The Tattler started as a coveted weekly newsletter of Club activities, with profiles of new Members, faithful reportage of Interest Group activities, racing news and the sharing of Members’ news, with the aim of promoting friendship. A recent survey (335 responses) found Members' interests remain the same with many requesting more news about fellow Members and the desire to “stay in touch with my Club Community”. Readership levels peak at 94% and of those, 83% read every issue and a further 11% read most issues. Three quarters of Members share a copy with their partner, family and colleagues. A printed Tattler is still preferred by 73%. Of those, 14% would also like an electronic version. Members reported events and photographs and Member Profiles as features they enjoy the most. Members want to see more profiles

of existing and new Members so they feel connected to all Members of the Club community. They also want more information on Reciprocal Clubs to inform their travels. Members want the Tattler to include a rolling calendar of events for the next 12 months, more historical pieces, in-depth event reporting, details on in-house menus and wine offerings and more staff profiles. Balancing inbox and mailbox traffic will require a tailored approach going forward, with a quarter of respondents preferring to access Club news exclusively online. This was countered by repeated commentary about email-fatigue so both versions will continue. Understanding the Tattler’s value and readership is the first step to providing more attentive and responsive communications for Members. The next step will be evaluating other touch points like Member Alerts. For more historical information about the Tattler please visit the ‘Heritage Archives’ section of the Club website.

CELEBRATING 30 YEARS

This year the Tattersall’s Club will celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Tattersall's Club and Mercedes-Benz Toowong Landscape Art Prize, with 90 prominent Australian landscape artists represented in the competition and a further 10 “Legendary” artists invited to display award winning works in the Members' Dining Room.

Bernie Hollet - Curator

To celebrate this major milestone, there will also be an Artist in Residence, Art Prize Evening Tour with Curator, Bernie Hollett (Tuesday, 3 September), Art Appreciation High Tea (Wednesday, 4 September) and Art Prize Awards Cocktail Party (Wednesday 4 September) with former winners attending as special guests. Curator Bernie Hollett said the 30th anniversary was a watershed moment for many reasons, not the least of which, is her retirement from the role which she has championed with passion and devotion. “The prize has become a very personal endeavour and I’m very proud of what we have achieved together,” Bernie said.

By Megan Houston

TATTLER SPRING 2019

“We’ve gone from attracting a very small group of Queensland artists to becoming a national prize, attracting artists who have won

the big prizes in the art world and creating momentum for emerging artists.” In recent years, the Tattersall’s Art Prize has acquired works by artists such as Ann Thomson, Michael Nelson Jagamara, Davida Allen, Euan MacLeod and Fiona Lowry. Now, something that started in admiration of others, has become the admiration of many. “Late in 1989 I was contacted by the Tattersall's Club CEO Paul Jones,” Curator Bernie Hollett recollects. “Paul had visited similar Clubs interstate and noted the number of paintings by well known Australian artists that adorned the walls of these well known Clubs. “The first Tattersall's Art Prize was held in 1990. It came as a bit of a shock to Members as they came through the glass doors to be confronted by panels of paintings. Once they found the bar and had a couple of beers, they wandered around the exhibition curious and bemused; critiquing the paintings like professionals.” Fast forward three decades, and the Prize is treasured and respected by art fans both internally and externally. Former winner, Archibald Finalist and Wynne recipient

ARTIST IN RESIDENCE This year for Art Week, the Tattersall’s Club will host an artist in residence. Marcel Desbiens, winner of the Tattersall’s Club and Mercedes-Benz Toowong Landscape Art Prize in 1996 and commended in 2004 will be taking art classes from 9.30am to 12.30pm, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Marcel was born in Quebec, Canada living and studying in the French speaking region. He studied art at CEGEP De Sherbrooke for 2 years and decided to be a full-time artist straight away. His research for the ultimate oil painting technique leads him to the Old Masters in the renaissance period. Marcel has been painting and teaching those methods for the last 40 years, winning prestigious art prize and public art projects. The cost to attend one of the 3 hour workshops with Marcel is $140. Anne Thompson said “It’s an amazing thing, for a Club like Tattersall’s to put up a prize like this and keep it going with such rigour and high standard. It’s truly something special and iconic to have in Brisbane.” Director of UQ Art Museum Dr Campbell Gray, who will be one of the judges this year, said landscape art had a long and strong tradition in Australia and was a medium for us to continue to question and confront our changing environment. He said while the value of the Prize to the art community was evidenced by the quality of entrants, the value to society in general was more difficult to measure but equally as important. “I’m often asked why, when there are urgent humanitarian issues in the world, should we be giving money to art; it seems like such a recreational pursuit?” Dr Gray said. “The answer in my mind is that good art, raises questions and provokes people who view it to ask important questions of themselves. And those people, who ask questions of themselves, are the ones that give most to humanitarian causes and the betterment of society.

“Art (of the quality presented for the Tattersall’s Prize) challenges people to think carefully about who they are and what their social obligations are.”

“They teach us in art history, that art has been progressive but since the 1970s it has been incredibly diverse and sometimes hard to compare one style to another,” Gray said.

Ann Thomson agreed. “It’s a chance to stop and look and be part of something that can be higher than yourself. It’s like going to a concert and listening to good music, it can be so enlivening and essential to happiness, purpose and personal fulfilment.

“Some artists simply render the landscape they are trying to capture but most contemporary artists are asking quite deep questions that are important and urgent.”

“I believe, people who look at art have their visual senses heightened. When you look at a painting and have feelings about it, it also leads to emotional reflection and growth.”

“I’m not looking for something in particular, you can just tell when you feel something in a work of art. It’s not just visual, it’s something original and raw. Often great paintings are really difficult to view at first.”

Bernie said like the artists and viewers, the 30th Tattersall’s Club Mercedes-Benz Toowong Landscape Art Prize was continuing to evolve. And while the Prize continues to salute landscape artists and the tradition of capturing the stunning beauty, the rugged wilderness and the vastness of the Australian landscape, it was now a lot more contemporary than the 1990 exhibition. The interpretation of “landscape” ranges from modernist to impressionism and judge Gray, said he expected choosing a winner would be difficult.

Thomson will also be a judge this year and said for her it would be a hard choice.

Q&A WITH ELLE HALLIWELL Tell us about your connection to Tattersall’s and how you feel about the opportunity to speak to the Fathers/Daughter Day Dinner? I’ve been covering racing for the past ten years and am a regular host of the ATC’s fashion competition, and know the incredible history Tattersall’s Club’s has with Australian racing. So I’m very honoured. It’s a great privilege and I really hope I can inspire guests to celebrate and cherish life’s precious moments. Connecting with people on an emotional level is the greatest feeling in the world, and I’m so privileged to have the opportunity to tell my story and get people excited about life.

Can you give us a little preview of what you might share? First and foremost, this is one of very few opportunities daughters get to spend an evening just with their dads, enjoying great food and entertainment, so take it! I’ll be sharing a story about making an impossible choice, overcoming tremendous odds, the power of love and the lessons I learned throughout my journey. My aim is for guests to leave feeling moved, empowered and excited about their own

futures. And there might even be some celeb gossip thrown in for good measure!

You’re a well-known figure in the fashion and entertainment media and a sought-after guest speaker. Can you tell us a little bit about your career, what you are passionate about? I got my start in media as an editorial assistant at the Sunday Telegraph, which is basically a glorified coffee-runner, delivering papers to the editorial staff, answering phones and writing “pet of the week” profiles. A few months after landing a cadetship, I was offered a temporary position as the paper’s Style columnist as fashion was an interest of mine. For the next decade I covered entertainment, fashion and lifestyle for The Sunday and The Daily Telegraph. I travelled the world, interviewed celebrities like Reese Witherspoon, Kim Kardashian, Miranda Kerr and One Direction. By the time I was 30 I was juggling my newspaper career with a weekly national radio show on Nova 96.9 and regular appearances on Channel Nine. And then my world fell apart when I was diagnosed with blood cancer.

Getting sick at the same time I was pregnant with my first child was a huge life wake-up call for me and forced me to re-evaluate my life and discover my purpose. I now live a much more relaxed, holistic lifestyle and now prioritise my health, family and inspiring other people to live their best lives.

You’ve previously talked about how your family and friends created a bubble for you when you got your cancer diagnosis. Can you tell us a bit about your family? I had a pretty wonderful childhood on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. I spent a lot of time in or on the water, taking trips on my parents’ boat around Palm Beach and the Central Coast, fishing, going to the beach. My two older sisters moved up to Brisbane when I was in my late teens and started families, and my mum Carrol is up there now also. My dad, Ross, still lives on the Northern Beaches on a large property with his wife Suzette. My son, Tor, and I love spending weekends up there, feeding the chooks, raiding the vegetable garden and saying ‘hi’ to the neighbours’ horses. My husband’s family were incredibly supportive when I was diagnosed. We moved

...there’s a special bond between fathers and daughters which I think is really special.

70s now, and while he’s still got cancer, he’s fit enough for weekly bike rides with his friends and to chase my toddler around the backyard. My son worships his ‘Pa’, and I’m so grateful they have been able to develop such a special bond. It’s one of the greatest feelings knowing Tor will grow up having so many wonderful memories of his time with Dad.

What are your fondest memories of your dad? I was a real tomboy growing up, and Dad and I loved going on bushwalks, fishing and spending hours in the pool. into their house in a self-contained unit below just before my diagnosis and they got us through some of our darkest moments.

I went on a six-month exchange to Italy and then moved to Bondi after school and for a few years, we only talked a handful of times a year.

Having the love and support of family was one of the things which got us through, knowing I could focus on my health and that of my unborn baby without having to deal with many of the stresses of daily life.

It wasn’t until he was diagnosed with prostate cancer in my early 20s that we began to repair our relationship. I remember walking through the aisles of the Bondi Beach IGA one day and the song “The Living Years” by Mike + The Mechanics came on. I stood in front of the bread section and just sobbed. It was at this point I realised life was too short not to tell Dad how much I loved him and to patch things up.

Can you tell us a little bit about your father/daughter relationship? I’m super close to my dad these days. After my parents’ divorce when I was in my final years of high school I distanced myself from him, in a bid to escape the drama.

At the time I wasn’t sure if he’d be around long enough to meet my children. He’s in his early

Dad retired early in his career, so I was lucky enough to spend a lot of time with him as a kid, going on caravan trips up the coast or spending school holidays on our boat.

How does Father’s Day make you feel? Celebrating it with my husband has been really nice since Tor was born. But it’s interesting seeing the dynamic between a father and son compared to a father and daughter. There’s a lot of truth in the idea of “daddy’s girl” and “mummy’s boy” – there’s a special bond between fathers and daughters which I think is really special.

FEATURE: WINTER RACING WRAP UP

WINTER RACING WRAP UP

Racing Queensland has labelled the 2019 TAB Winter Racing Thoroughbred Carnival as a ‘success’ after registering a new wagering turnover record and the return to Group 1 racing at Eagle Farm. In total, an almost $274 million turnover was recorded through out the Winter Carnival, a three per cent increase on last year despite encountering heavy tracks at the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast meetings. The Winter Carnival contributed to new records for Queensland Racing’s annual turnover ($4.3 billion) across all codes and a rise of $217 million. Tri-code payments to participants incorporating prize money, breeder schemes, jockey/driver fees and race club subsidies also broke through the $200 million threshold for the first time. “Racing Queensland’s desire to bolster our Winter Racing carnival has certainly paid dividends,” RQ CEO Brendan Parnell said. “The return to racing at Eagle Farm has assisted with this, as we saw on Stradbroke Day, but there are a range of other factors that have been telling. “The Kingsford-Smith Cup meeting has emerged as Queensland’s third biggest wagering day behind the Magic Millions and Stradbroke Day.

TATTLER SPRING 2019

“Twilight racing also continues to perform strongly with the Glasshouse Handicap raising the all-time wagering result for a race at the Sunshine Coast Turf Club.”

“The Battle of the Bush continues to go from strength to strength and has quickly become one of the highlights of the Carnival,” Having been rated 26th amongst the world's top-100 Group 1 races in 2018, the Doomben 10,000 lived up to its billing as one of Australia’s premier sprint races, with turnover increasing to $32.2 million to make it the third biggest wagering meeting of the Carnival. Through the turnstiles, more than 70,000 people were in attendance with the Ipswich Cup, Stradbroke Day and Kingsford-Smith Cup filling the top-three most popular race meetings. They were closely followed by the Tattersall's Tiara Race Day, which featured the TAB Battle of the Bush, which grew by more than 20% to

continue its position as one of the most popular days on the Queensland racing calendar. “The Battle of the Bush continues to go from strength-to-strength and has quickly become one of the highlights of the Carnival,” Mr Parnell said.

TATTERSALL’S TIARA RACE DAY Tattersall’s Tiara Race Day capped off the Queensland Winter Racing Carnival in style, reaching a feat of its own as the event grew by more than 20% in popularity with over 6,300 attendees enjoying the ideal weather. Country Music Hall of Famer James Blundell wowed the crowd with country hits including “Way out West” and the Wintergarden Fashions on the Field was popular among racegoers. Peta Wells took out the ladies' category and Hamish Lardi won the mens'. Invincibella crossed the line first for the Tattersall’s Tiara, while a real diamond, tanzanite, pink sapphire and keshi pearl encrusted white gold tiara, crafted by Adam Graham from AG Designer Jeweller, was raffled off, raising $18,000 for Legacy Brisbane. “It is always humbling to receive the support of the community and I cannot thank Adam Graham from AG Designer Jewellers enough for his generous support.” Legacy Brisbane CEO Brendan Cox said. “This support was made possible through the great relationship we share with the Tattersall's Club,”

“The money raised will directly contribute to the Annual Legacy Children’s Camp conducted in January each year. Up to 60 children will come together and be reminded that there is a larger Legacy Family of support available to them outside of their immediate family room. “I thank all Tattersall's Members for this wonderful support.”

BATTLE OF THE BUSH Tattersall’s Tiara Race Day hosted the race that set the scene for the $125,000 TAB Battle of the Bush Final at the historic Eagle Farm Racecourse. The Battle of the Bush continues to go from strength to strength after becoming an overnight juggernaut last year. Racing Queensland’s 2019 TAB Battle of the Bush series kicked off at Gladstone on April 20 and visited 16 towns across Queensland to decide the final field. Racing Queensland General Manager of Thoroughbreds Simon Stout said the 2019 TAB Battle of the Bush Series was among the most anticipated events in the history of Queensland country racing. “The Battle of the Bush has given trainers right across Queensland something to aspire to,” he said. Horses from 10 towns from as far north as Atherton, to as far south as Dalby arrived in Brisbane to rub shoulders with some of the

superstars of Australian racing. Owners and trainers were treated to a race day experience at Eagle Farm where they could soak up the atmosphere on the day of the final. Hanover Square won the 1200m race with a maximum field of 16 runners and took home the final prize which was worth $125,000.

TATTERSALL’S TRIPLE M RACE DAY Triple M once again partnered with Tattersall’s Racing Club for their second highly popular Triple M Rocks Tattersall’s Race Day. Triple M has established itself as one of Brisbane’s leading radio stations, known for Rock, Sport and Comedy. The Rock Race Day provided great exposure to showcase the Triple M brand and key talent to over 3,000 racegoers on Saturday 20 July. Since 2017 there has been a 35% increase in attendance at Triple M Rocks Tattersall's Race Days. This can be largely attributed to the collaboration with Tattersall’s Club over the past two years, exposing the Triple M brand to an additional 3,385 race goers. This year saw the Triple M Rocks Tattersall’s Race Day feature the Triple M Big Breakfast crew. Marto, Robin and Nick entertained the crowds with one of the highlights being the Black Tie Barbecue, where Marto donned an apron and hosted the occasion.

TATTERSALL’S SYNDICATE

Tattersall’s racehorse syndicates are coming into form with the next 12 months expected to see some of their best racing yet. Amicitia - A fittingly named horse, being the Motto of the Tattersall’s Club. Trained by Gollan Racing, Amicitia was able to break through for her maiden win at her third start. Both 4yo mares have had consistent seasons, with Amicitia winning the Schweppes QTIS 3yo 1200 m Maiden Handicap at Ipswich on 12 July and Combativite, beaten “by a pimple” in a 1350m Maiden Plate race at Doomben a week later. Combativite, foaled 21 October 2015, and sired by Queensland’s hottest sire 'Spirit of Boom' has been on lease to the Tattersall’s Syndicate since 3 January 2018. Gollan Racing are very familiar with the sire of Combativite, with Tony’s father Darryl and Tony training Temple Spirit, the dam of Spirit of Boom (Sequalo); and Tony training Spirit of Boom and his half-brother Temple of Boom (Piccolo). They also have her full sister and full brother in the stable. At the time of writing, Combativite has had 5 starts and has not finished further back than 4th. Her last start was too close to call! “I thought she had won,” Trainer Tony Gollan said post-race. “She was in great form and lost it by a pimple on the nose. “She’ll run again in three weeks’ time over a mile. She’s a nice filly showing good ability,

so I expect she will go for a spell after the next race and come back better again.” “Both horses are racing well and showing some good ability,” trainer Tony Gollan said. “Both have an immature style of racing and their best racing is ahead of them - at a minimum over the next 12 months.”

The Tattersall’s Syndicate horses are coordinated and set up by Ernie Ward. Each syndicate has 20 shares and the owners are encouraged to visit the training stables and attend the race days for their horse to get the most out of their investment. Gollan helped facilitate the lease of these two mares for Tattersall’s Club through wellrespected clients and thoroughbred nursery’s. Both mares at the time of lease, were yearlings who hadn’t gone through the sale ring, as they were a little on the immature side.

“We race them when and where they are going to be competitive,” Gollan said. “It’s really about enjoying the spirit of racing and the opportunity to participate as an owner in the racing scene.” For more information about the Tattersall’s Syndicates please contact Ernie Ward. 6

SKY RACING ADVERTORIAL

BIG DREAMS OF BIG SPORTS FOR THE BOY FROM BRISBANE Sky Racing's Dave Stanley has always chased his big sports dream. As a Brisbane born and raised boy, his big aim was to be in horse racing and sports media in a big way. A self-confessed sports addict who admits “I will give any sport a go” has trained hard and kicked goals. He has had a dream run with Sky Racing since those early days when he slogged it out in the studio doing as he was told. Long days and late nights, he always appeared and got the job done. “I just love it, this job, it’s all I have ever wanted all my life.” He smiled with an air of complete satisfaction. While still on the Sky TV screen, hosting race day Saturdays with Tony Brassel and Andrew Martin, Dave has taken on the big radio role. He is now part of the Sky Racing Big Sports Breakfast radio show. Five days a week,

I just love it, this job, it’s all I have ever wanted all my life...

Monday to Friday from 5.30am, David lines up behind the mic with Terry Kennedy and Laurie Daley for real live big sports fun. “What a job. I wake up five days a week to have a laugh with TK and Loz, and they tell me it’s my job. How lucky am I?” he quips. “I get a lot of support from listeners in the bush as well, which I love. But back to my Brissy roots now and then, I fill in on Sunday mornings on BSB Weekends, hosting with Jimmy Smith. That program is heard live in QLD via Radio 4TAB. I like that, on the odd occasion I am back in Brisbane, even if only on the radio waves.” he said. Dave Stanley has been permanent fixture for some time now at Sky Racing. He is well known for his talent talk and quick wit. He is both heard and seen and widely admired as a media commentator with a larrikin laugh and easy go lucky manner. A Queenslander at heart, he loves rugby league and enjoys physically getting back to Brisbane for work, especially on the BSB State of Origin coverage gig. “That is a fantastic week in Brisbane to be back in my home town.” he claimed. In fact, he grew up frequenting pubs and clubs to watch the races and dream of his future on TV racing screen. One such pub, the Wellington Point Hotel, owned by his mates Greg and Scott Hogan, is still one of his favourite haunts.

“I spent my younger days there watching the races and dreaming my dream to be on racing TV. Now I go back and dream is done, watching what I do right there on the screen. I am so lucky to do what I do, and that pub is one place where it all began.” he recalled. With horse racing in his heart, and the call of home, Dave came back to Brisbane for the re-opening of Eagle Farm racecourse and the summer series of racing this year. However, closer to his heart was his factual fate. Owning a share in a 3yo filly trained by Richard and Michael Freedman, called On The White Turf, she gained a run in this year’s Queensland Oaks. “It was a huge thrill. Especially, this year as the Oaks was run at Doomben, my very favourite track, a place brimming with emotion, filled by childhood memories of me with my grandad. It was a very special Queensland Oaks for me.” said Dave in a wistful way. Dave Stanley, the boy from Brissy with big dreams. His love of sport and down to earth give anything a crack attitude has taken him on a great Sky Racing ride. He’s popular, successful and heard and seen by our great sports loving Nation, but it’s still nice to know, that the original boy from Brissy who has captured and caught his big sports dream, still calls Brisbane home.

GUEST SPORTS INTERVIEW

RESURRECTING THE LIONS

CHRIS FAGAN It’s the ultimate tale of resurrection. A downtrodden team with a legacy of greatness, rises up once again to become one of the best in the competition. But can the Brisbane Lions go all the way this year and achieve AFL Premiership glory once again?

By Megan Houston

TATTLER SPRING 2019

The Tattersall’s Club Evening With Brisbane Lions Coach Chris Fagan came close to providing an answer, with the Tassie born coach revealing; “We haven’t set goals around how many games we want to win. We just look at how we can keep improving. If we keep improving like we have, who knows what might happen?” Born in Queenstown, Fagan played in the Tasmanian Football league and represented Tasmania twelve times before taking up a career in coaching in 1991. After a decade coaching club and state teams, he was employed as assistant coach at Melbourne, helping the Demons to reach the AFL Grand Final in 2000. In 2007 he moved to Hawthorn to take up the Head of Coaching and Development role and during his

eight years with the Hawks, the club won four premierships. In 2016 he was appointed Brisbane Lions Senior Coach. Fagan reflected that, at the time, Brisbane was “on a low ebb and probably couldn’t go any lower” finishing the season with just three wins and an abysmal for and against record that was “miles away from everyone else”. “Making the finals with Brisbane, it’s definitely equal (to the joy of welcoming my first grandchild), because I reckon two and a half years ago, I wasn’t sure if that was even possible,” he said. “When I first turned up at the footy club, I spent two weeks meeting the players and the staff and realised there wasn’t much optimism, just lot of pessimism and a lack of belief.”

GUEST SPORTS INTERVIEW

...can the Brisbane Lions go all the way this year..? In fact, at Fagan’s very first club training session 25 of the 36 listed players were in rehab, raising the inevitable question how has he managed to turn their fortunes around? “What I learnt from the players in those first two weeks was they wanted a clear game plan and wanted to be treated like men,” he said. “So, we have had a clear game plan from day dot. We’ve built a culture together based on respect for each other, a place where players come to improve not just as footballers but as men. The result of that has seen improvements not just in our football but has put smiles back on faces.” He added that while he couldn’t prove it, “when you get happy people, you have less injuries”. Given the opportunity to ask questions at the end of the evening, Club Members probed every aspect of Fagan’s success from

injuries to individual player management and controversial drafting choices. Fagan attributes some of his success to early mentors in life and football including his family, the gravel football field in Queenstown that made you want to “stay on your feet” and Neale Daniher. Neale gave him his first break in AFL coaching and the invaluable advice “Senior Coaches have got to be good actors”.

“We’ve beaten Hawthorn in Launceston which is allegedly impossible to do, Port Adelaide over there, Giants at their stadium. We’re starting to stack up some impressive performances and you can see the belief beginning to grow in the group. I haven’t asked (the players) this, but I reckon if you ask them, they’d think they were a chance (to win the Premiership). ”

He counts Alastair Clarkson as one of the few “transformational coaches” of the AFL, despite being “feisty and sometimes hard to work with” and has dinner regularly with Leigh Matthews. Fagan also let slip that he listens to his players and staff more often than not, gets to know the players personally and always talks in stats and improvement, not games won or lost.

At the time of the Tattersall’s event, the final weeks of the season were drawing to a close. Fagan predicted the Lions would win three home games and get “touched-up” by Richmond at the MCG, a reminder they can be beaten; before launching into a strong finals season. With the finals now underway, there is no doubt the Lions are in the mix.

However, he admits prior to the start of the team’s six game winning streak, the players requested a less “statistical” pre-game briefing, which he implemented, the results evidently speaking for themselves.

According to Fagan, the Lions are prepped and ready, the only things that will hinder their progress will be a lack of finals experience or a stall in momentum.

“In the last six weeks, we have been the best team in the competition,” he said. “We have moved that far in two and a half years and it has been incremental. Focusing on improvement has got us this far, so that’s what we’re going to keep doing.

“They often say you have got to go through final series to win one. That may or may not be true,” he said. “It’s also a long season and you’ve got to have momentum at the right time – we’ve got a lot of momentum at the moment, can we sustain it? I don’t know.”

Royal United Service Institute (RUSI) of Queensland think tank seminar at Tattersall’s

The current state of play is a bit alarming – because of the pressures being brought by the relationship tensions between China and United States... 1. RUSI Vice President Brigadier Ian Errington with Director of Griffith University’s Centre of Environment and Population Health Professor Cordia Chu and her team. 2. Queensland president Peter Mapp and His Excellency The Honourable Paul De Jersey AC, Governor Of Queensland.

The Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) is the world's oldest independent think tank on international defence and security. The organisation hosted a seminar at the Tattersall’s Club to discuss The Future of Australia-Indonesia Relations in a Contested Indo-Pacific Order on the 5 July and an evening event with The Hon Brendan Nelson, AO, Director of the Australian War Memorial on the 21 August. Originally instituted in London at the end of the Neapolitan War by the Duke of Wellington, RUSI Australia was established in Brisbane in 1892 by Major General John Fletcher Owen, Commandant, Queensland Defence Force. Current Queensland president Peter Mapp said the membership of the organisation historically consisted of high-ranking military officers but over the years had been extended to civilians, and focused its efforts on promoting informed debate to improve public awareness and understanding of defence and national security. “Our sole interest is the defence and security of Australia,” Mr Mapp said.

“The current state of play is a bit alarming – because of the pressures being brought by the relationship tensions between China and United States.” Mr Mapp said RUSI events, like the recent seminar, were attended by the highest levels of military, education professionals and the decision makers in government including His Excellency The Honourable Paul De Jersey AC, Governor Of Queensland. “We also had a public servant representing the Indonesian government point of view and our military officials at the event to discuss the current issues. “It was an all-day event attended by more than 148 people and sponsored by the Department of Defence, to inform and educate our constituents.”

He said the threats posed by pandemics, and disruptions in food production and trade, were very real and RUSI was a chance to get involved in discussions around these issues of national importance. “Our membership is open and we are very interested in anyone who wants to be involved.” RUSI Queensland will be hosting more events at Tattersall’s in the coming months and Members can get tickets and find out more by visiting www.rusi.org.au

Mr Mapp is one of the “National Servicemen” conscripted at age 18. He served on a landing ship from 1959 and said the threats to the nation had certainly changed over time but were non-the-less important.

TATTERSALL’S CLUB BRISBANE

MEMBER PROFILE

Although I’ve travelled a lot, I haven’t yet discovered anywhere to match the Member’s Bar in Brisbane! + MEMBER PROFILE PETER DONNELLY How long have you been a Member of Tattersall’s Club and what influenced you to join? My father (Austin Donnelly) was a Member of Tattersall’s and it has always held a special place for me. I became a Member in 2014 – having lived overseas all of my adult life, I hadn’t realised until then that it was possible to be a Member if you weren’t based in Brisbane.

What is your favourite memory of the Club to date? My favourite memories date from when I was growing up — Friday evening dinner dances in the Member’s Dining Room to celebrate special birthdays, with the lights dimming towards the end of the evening for the parade of birthday cakes with sparklers.

As an international Member, how do you best utilise the Club Membership? I love staying at the Club when I am back in Brisbane — it feels very welcoming and the facilities are wonderful. And I’ve really enjoyed benefiting from Reciprocal Membership at many of our sister Clubs around the world. But although I’ve travelled a lot, I haven’t yet discovered anywhere to match the Member’s Bar in Brisbane!

You grew up in Brisbane and have since become one of the world’s leading mathematicians and genetic researchers. Looking back, what are the highlights of your journey? I loved my time growing up in Brisbane, first at Terrace and then at UQ. Even now, many of my closest friends date from that time, and I love being back in Brisbane. I was fortunate to get a Rhodes Scholarship, through which I studied in Oxford for a

TATTLER SPRING 2019

doctorate in mathematics and played a lot of sport for my college, Balliol. Most of my working life has been as a university academic, combining teaching and research. A few years ago, I stepped down from most of my university roles to become CEO of a spin-out company we had founded, Genomics plc. The transition into the commercial world has involved a very steep learning curve but it has been amazing. The company is well funded and is growing quickly (currently 60 people with offices in Oxford and Cambridge). We work with drug companies to use genetic insights to discover better drug targets. We also work with health systems to identify individuals at higher risk of particular diseases earlier in life to prevent or minimise disease.

You recently received a Knighthood for your work - how did that make you feel? I’m humbled and hugely honoured by the Knighthood. The award is as much recognition of the many outstanding and talented colleagues and students I have worked and collaborated with over many years. I feel incredibly lucky, and grateful, and it has been great fun.

Can you tell us a bit about your current research projects and any recent breakthroughs you have had? Most of my research has involved very large studies to learn which of the three billion letters in our DNA code affect our susceptibility to particular human diseases, like heart disease, diabetes, and many of the common cancers. The next step is to use this knowledge to drill down to learn about the biological processes that lead to the disease, so that we can be much cleverer in developing drugs to treat them.

The patterns of DNA variation we all carry are shaped by many factors including the patterns of movements and intermixing of our ancestors going back many thousands of years. The interdisciplinary aspect of much of my work is something I really enjoy. The work in our company is also very science driven. We are using sophisticated approaches to analyse very large amounts of human genetic data to find better drug targets and to get much better at identifying people who are at much higher risk of particular diseases. Early interventions and lifestyle changes can head off the risk of the disease developing, or catch it early enough for successful treatment.

What is your proudest moment to date? I feel I have been very lucky in many ways. Professionally, I have been fortunate to have been involved in one of the most exciting and fast-moving areas of science, and to have been at the centre of what has been called the "Genetic Revolution”, the explosion in our knowledge of the role played by our DNA in susceptibility to all the common human diseases. We will soon start to see the impact of those discoveries on healthcare and clinical medicine, leading to more effective drug treatments and better disease prevention. In addition to the Knighthood, it was a great honour some years ago to be elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society, Britain and the Commonwealth’s Academy of Science, one of the highest accolades for a scientist. Personally, I’m incredibly proud of my four amazing kids. Three of them are now successful young adults and one is well on her way there, but they are all wonderful people and great fun to spend time with.

MEMBER FOCUS 1. Mr Malouf with his wife Anne-Marie and his daughter Louise at his induction into the Fragrance Foundation Hall of Fame. 2. Mr. Malouf’s receives the award of Doctor of the University at QUT, from QUT Vice Chancellor

+ MEMBER FOCUS RICHARD MALOUF How long have you been a Member of Tattersall’s and what influenced your decision to join? I owned my first Pharmacy in the City in 1962 and I was advised that one of the best clubs to join to meet other businessmen in the City would be Tattersall's, so in 1990 I joined.

If someone asked you why should they join, what would you tell them? It has so much to offer as a Club with its great facilities. It is also a wonderful place to bring interstate guests as well as local business people.

What inspired you to open your first Malouf Pharmacies store on Albert Street in 1962? When I finished school I had a leaning towards pharmacy and a pharmacy in Albert Street came up for sale. It was only small (a half shop) but it was the beginning for me to want more pharmacies and I ended up with 20 Pharmacies which then led to our ownership of 15 Cosmetics and Fragrance Direct stores around Australia. Through demolitions of old buildings in the city I moved to the suburbs and increased our holdings of Pharmacies in Queensland. It was certainly a very happy time in my life as I had come from my father’s industry - fashion, before my first pharmacy.

What continues to give Malouf Pharmacies its point of difference? We had an edict that we had to give the very best service, not only in Pharmacy but in all retail areas of our business and this stood with me for the whole 56 years that I was in Pharmacy. We sold our Pharmacies 2 years ago to a worldwide medical company from Sydney.

Did you have a business mentor in those early business days?

My father taught me probably everything that there was to know about trading as he had a very large fashion store and would to take me on buying trips. This was invaluable in learning how to run a successful business.

What are your tips to building a positive workforce culture in a growing family business? Treat your staff like they are your best friends. Make them feel very happy to come to work and PRAISE, PRAISE, PRAISE, are the key areas in making your staff as happy as they could be. I used to write personal letters to every member of the staff that was recommended to me as being special. We held many training days on approaching customers, in selling extra product and how to close a sale with a customer ensuring they leave very happy with their purchase.

Prescriptions in the early days were not large and I did all the dispensing myself. This grew to some of our larger pharmacies doing 800 to 1500 prescriptions per day, smaller pharmacies did less, but at no time did we have disgruntled customers. The city pharmacy alone had hundreds and hundreds of loyal customers.

+N EW MEMBER PROFILE – LORANA SZETO Financial analyst Lorana Szeto works with Solaris Investment Management specialising in gold mining stocks and before that spent a decade with Suncorp’s Australian equities team. Lorana and husband Michael Jackson like to travel and spend weekends at their farm at Eukey, near Stanthorpe.

What’s the favourite part of your job and why? I’m driven by getting to know each company well because when I know the management team, I know what they can achieve. I like visiting the gold mining sites and ‘kicking rocks around’ as I call it. There is no substitute for being on the ground so I’ve just returned from a research trip to

TATTLER SPRING 2019

Western Australia. People sometimes call investing in stocks a gamble but if you take a long term researched approach, it’s a good investment.

Why did you join Tattersall’s? It had been ten years since I’d visited and I thought I would support the changed Membership Model by joining. We enjoyed the

March Mud Crab lunch with friends and then a New Member’s lunch. Michael (a consultant and developer) is in the CBD less than me so Couples Membership makes sense.

What do you like about the Club so far? There is something special about drinks in the Members’ Bar before a Healy Room or Members’ Dining Room meal. With our two children finished school we love to travel so reciprocal clubs in European hubs, like Paris or London, might factor into our next trip to Georgia (Eastern Europe).

MEMBER PROFILE

+ MEMBER PROFILE VALERIE CURRY First of all, welcome to Tattersall’s Club. What was it about Tattersall’s Club that made you want to become a Member? I have been attending events at Tattersall’s Club since I was 20 years old and still love the tradition the Club holds. I was married to Fraser Thompson who was a long-term Member and we loved going out dancing at Tattersall’s Club together.

Are there any upcoming events that you are looking forward to attending at Tattersall’s Club?

Valerie Curry is one of Tattersall’s Club's most recent female Members and at 86 years of age, she is showing no signs of slowing down. Valerie is a Brisbane local and was the first female rugby coach with GPS Rugby. Valerie has already started organising a new Bridge Club which will take place on the second Wednesday of every month as well as a new Book Club.

I visit the Club every week and I attended the ladies luncheon last month which was great and so I am very much looking forward to next month’s ladies luncheon.

Can you tell us about where you grew up, about your family and any significant life events? I was born just outside Gympie where my parents owned a property. I grew up

surrounded by horses and cattle and began riding in horse shows at a young age. I also worked in accounting and helped my then-husband set up his law firm before having children. I now have eight grandchildren and five great grandchildren who live across the world.

Have you joined any of Tattersall’s Club Interest Groups since becoming a Member? I love fine wine and enjoy the Wine Club and coming along to some of their organised activities. I am also very excited to begin a Book Club and Bridge Club to provide more Interest Group options for people who have recently become Tattersall’s Club Members.

What has your experience as a female Tattersall’s Club Member been like? It has been wonderful. The Committee has welcomed me with open arms and everyone is so friendly and helpful. I am so happy to be part of the Club. For expressions of interest Bridge and/or Book Club please contact membership@tattersallclub.com

REAL WEDDINGS

+REAL WEDDINGS Our team of talented wedding planners and coordinators were recently invited to attend the Australian Bridal Industry Academy (ABIA) Awards. On the evening, Tattersall’s Club proudly received a staggering 97% rating in the ‘Club Reception’ award category. ABIA hosts a variety of highly esteemed awards each year including the Best Wedding Venue and Best Wedding Planner. Did any winning recipients stand out to you as an inspiring brand within Australia’s wedding industry? It was amazing to see so much talent in one room. The winners that really stood out for me were G&M event group who are best known for DJ and MC services, A Little Cake Place who create incredible cakes that look like a piece of art work and In the Booth who capture the memories of your big day. These are regular wedding suppliers at Tattersall’s Club and we are so happy for them to each win their category.

Tattersall’s Club ranked in the top 5 with a 97% award rating in the Club Reception category award. In your opinion what aspects of Tattersall’s Club make it such a unique space to host a wedding reception? I think the history and elegance of the Club make it so unique, the high ceilings, the intricate design aspects and beautiful wooden detailing. Tattersall’s Club is a hidden gem right in the centre of Brisbane city. We have an amazing team and our exceptional service ensures each wedding is special and unique.

Will Tattersall’s enter the ABIA awards next year and is there a specific award category or ranking that you are aiming to achieve?

Yes! We would love to enter the ABIA awards next year as it was such a great experience. Taking the top spot in the Club Reception category would be a dream come true, however we are thrilled to place in the top 5. We would also like to make it to the finalist round of the ‘ceremony venue’ and ‘wedding planner’ categories for 2020.

As a wedding and event planner, was there a key highlight or take-away from the ABIA awards event that has inspired you for planning future weddings?

We met a lot of great suppliers and were very inspired by the upcoming trends in the wedding industry. We are excited to work with some of the new suppliers we met during the evening and may even see some indoor fireworks in the Club very soon. It is always a great experience being surrounded by wedding professionals who are just as passionate as us.

MEMBERSHIP HEALTH AND WELLNESS

Tattersall's Health and Wellness Centre has a full timetable of Group Fitness classes available.

HEALTH, WELLNESS THE ART SELF PRESERVATION

BURNOUT Burnout is a state of chronic stress, often (but not always) caused from high, consistent levels of stress in the workplace. A few tell-tale signs might include physical and emotional exhaustion which could manifest as chronic fatigue, insomnia, physical symptoms, mood changes and loss of appetite; cynicism and detachment and/ or feelings of ineffectiveness and lack of accomplishment. WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT IT? Remember your basic maintenance – Eat well, sleep enough and drink more water (and less coffee / sugary drinks / alcohol) Just say no – Admit when you’ve got too much going on, and when someone asks you for something you know is going to tax you while you’re already taxed to your limit, just say ‘no’. Self-care is important. Exercise – Incorporating more exercise in your daily routine increases endorphins and decreases stress. Don’t have time to do a real workout routine? Park the car an extra block or station away and walk the rest, take a 10min walk on your lunch break or take the stairs instead of the elevator. Self-Care (and maybe a holiday) – We can’t all afford to take a few weeks off and go skiing to wind down – if you can, great! Take advantage of any leave you have and take yourself off for a break. For those who can’t for whatever reason, go with the weekly / fortnightly / monthly self-care treats - a massage, go to yoga classes, watch a footy game with a beer (and turn your phone off at the same time). Whatever you do that relaxes you, spend time doing it, even it’s just an hour of drawing or playing video games. And most of all – look after each other. We’re all in it together.

TATTLER SPRING 2019

• RUNNING GROUP More than just running, in this group we look at improving your technique and movement to ensure you can run safely and efficiently for life. Meet at level 5 reception for a bit of preparation before a trek through the city and gardens.

WORK-LIFE BALANCE These days, work-life balance can seem like an impossible feat. Technology makes workers accessible around the clock. Fears of job loss incentivise longer hours. The compounding stress from the never-ending workday is damaging and it can hurt relationships, health and overall happiness. Work-life balance means something different to every individual but there are a few ways you can attempt to overcome work stress and find that level of balance that is just right for you. 1. Let go of perfectionism – Strive not for perfection, but for excellence. 2. Unplug – Set times within your day where technology is turned off. Make quality time true quality time and in turn, you will develop a stronger habit of resilience. Reactive people have less control and are more prone to stress. 3. Exercise and meditate – When we’re busy we often overlook exercise, but exercise is an effective stress reducer. It lifts your mood and can also help you make those important business decisions. Balance includes self-care, exercise, nutrition, meditation and making time to ensure your body, mind and soul are refreshed. 4. Limit time-wasting activities and people – Identify what is important in your life and make sure your actions reflect your priorities. Draw firm boundaries so you can devote time to worthwhile pursuits that involve high priority people and activities. 5. Change the structure of your life – Instead of trying to do it all, focus on activities you specialise in and value the most. Delegate and outsource other areas and this can in turn benefit others by giving them opportunities to grow. 6. One step at a time and then build – Take it one day at a time. Start small and experience some success. Then continue to build from there.

• BOXING Whole body workout with different punches and combos that improves cardio, physical strength and strength of mind. A great way to fire up the endorphins and release any frustrations of the week. • BARRE A ballet-style conditioning class designed to sculpt the glutes, core and legs aiming to improve dynamic stabilisation, strength and posture. • METAFIT 30 minute workout that gets BIG results by increasing your metabolic rate using HIIT interval timing and bodyweight exercises. Perfect for weight loss. • CORE360 30 minute workout that targets all areas of the core. Feel the burn whilst tightening up that tummy area, improving your posture and reducing aches and pains. • PILATES 30 minute mat class designed to balance muscular strength and flexibility, help with posture and strengthen the body, especially your core and stabilisers. • BOOTCAMP 30 minute cross-training strength class using several modes of training and a variety of exercises to get your heart pumping, build muscle mass and increase strength. • THE ZUU ZUU is a high intensity body weight workout with a focus on improving mobility while simultaneously testing your muscular endurance. Small group Personal Training and Corporate Team Building sessions available.

CWA CHARITY LUNCH With Guest Speakers Senator Susan McDonald and Christine King

With Queensland’s rural communities facing continuing hardships, Tattersall’s Club has selected the Queensland Country Women’s Association (QCWA) as the recipient for the 2019 Charity Lunch on Friday 6th September. QCWA State President Christine King said the organisation was humbled and “ecstatic” to be chosen. Ms King said the QCWA had been so busy administering the Public Rural Crisis Funds, that the budget for running the branches, programs and memberships had been pretty lean. She said the proceeds from the 2019 Charity Lunch would be used to help deliver essential support services for the 240 branches across the state. “We are an exciting mob with many things on the go and any money to put into the QCWA organisation itself is like a gift from heaven.” The QCWA is approaching it’s 97th year of service and, while some branches were booming, Christine said other branches had shrunk in numbers.

“Our branch at Winton was about to close until we put a call out and offered free membership for the first year. Forty-one women joined and stayed on - people just forget what we can offer.” Christine said the QCWA was all about friendship and making someone else’s day better and women should remember they don’t have to own or live on a property to join. “You can live anywhere and we accept all ladies over 18 years old. We welcome people in who might not know anyone, who might have recently retired from work or just looking for a way to connect. Everyone has something to offer.” Regular Tattersall’s Charity Lunch guest, Karla Vavra-Quintanilla said she joined the Samford CWA because cooking and sharing food was part of her El Salvadorian family’s tradition.

“When I’m not working (as a nurse) I’m cooking all the time for friends and family – food is at the centre of everything I love,” Karla said. Karla’s friend Genevieve Fraser is a Tattersall’s Club Member and Coordinator of the 2019 Lunch and was surprised to hear Karla had found and joined a CWA branch in Brisbane. “I didn’t realise there were any Brisbane based branches until Karla started sharing her CWA activities with friends on Facebook,” Genevieve said. “This year’s lunch will allow Tattersall’s Members and guests to help the QCWA grow and foster those city-country connections for years to come.” Tattersall's Club annual Charity Lunch in support of Queensland Country Women's Association is $95 per person. It includes a viewing of the 2019 Tattersall's Landscape Art Prize, a beverage on arrival, canapes, raffle prizes and a two course lunch. For bookings, phone 07 3331 8886 or email eventcentre@tattersallsclub.com

By Edward Profke Once again it is a pleasure to extend a warm TMC Welcome to our new Members whom have joined us this quarter and wonderful to see you already out and about with us. Our busy Calendar of events continued to grow with rides and social events occurred throughout the months of May, June and July. A wet Sunday in May saw us change the destination of our ride from Ravensbourne near Toowoomba to Pit Stop Café on Mt Mee. We were warmly welcomed on this cool and damp Sunday by the team at Pit Stop Café where we enjoyed a catch-up brunch around the fire up on the mountain. Blue skies and sunshine were the setting for our Maleny ride in June where a picturesque diverse route took us out through Woodford, up across the Bellthorpe range then down through the valley of the historic Postman’s Track. Crossing the Mary River we then climbed back up the range via Conondale National Park and into Maleny. Our destination was the new Mountain View Café along Mary Cairncross Park which boasts stunning views across the Hinterland and Glasshouse Mountains.

A new destination was on our Calendar for July where we set out to the remote Northern Rivers NSW Town of Bonalbo. This rural Township is surrounded by Rain and Blackwood Forests and is hidden away in the region between Woodenbong and Tenterfield. Stunning country settings provide the routes between Boonah, Rathdowney, Woodenbong, Urbenville, through to Bonalbo where we enjoyed a great catch up lunch at the historic Dog and Bull Hotel.

Toowoomba is held at Tattersall’s Reciprocal Club – The Downs Club Toowoomba. It is with pleasure that we will again be joined by Tattersall’s Shooters Club but also this year the Motoring and Cyclist Clubs, which reflects the very fabric of Tattersall’s Club Historic Motto AMICITIA VITA EST – Friendship is Life. All are welcome to join us at any of our events. Details are available through Tattersall’s Club website.

This year was the fifteenth year of Tattersall’s famous Black Tie Boxing event, which TMC strongly supported by taking the Northern Balcony viewing area along with Dinner hosted in the Chandelier Room.

1– 2. Motoring Clubs polished machinery 3. Motoring Club at Wivenhoe 4. Brunch at Ravensbourne Escape

By Edward Profke Our Events Calendar has us Motoring to the Sunshine Coast in October, followed by Maleny in November and Mt Mee in December. Stay tuned as the dust has not settled on several other events such as an exclusive “Norwell – All Out - Driver Training Track Day“ (limited seats), 4WD Adventures, and exclusive Signature Marque Dealership events. Membership and participation in the Motoring Club opens up a “world” to all engaged. We look forward to you joining us on the road. The new Marque of Tattersall’s Motoring Club was launched in June with our first calendared drive to the destination of Ravensbourne. Our diverse and picturesque route took us up

over Mt Glorious, West through the Brisbane Valley and Wivenhoe region to Esk, up across the Deongwar State Forest and Ravensbourne range then in towards Toowoomba. A great social catch up was enjoyed over brunch at Ravensbourne Escape which is set on the Eastern escarpment of the Great Dividing Range and bordered by the magnificent Ravensbourne National Park. www.ravensbourneescape.com.au Rich discussions on Motoring events and plans going forward were shared and a note of thanks goes to, Tattersall’s Club Vice President Michael Paramor, AM, who donned the chino’s and woolly jumper to join us at Ravensbourne

to add that element of Club Spirit. Our July outing is to the destination of, “The Cottages” on Mount Tamborine, which will be hosted by our Tattersall’s Motoring Committeeman, Colin Creed. Many thanks to Colin for opening up your property to host this Motoring event. Sunday August 4th sees us heading to the “Jags and Jazz at St Fisher College” event which is shaping up to be a great family day out and yet another reason to dust off our machinery and get it out and about.

+ SNOOKER CLUB By Tim Woolley The last three months have been quieter, as is usual for this time of year, being between the flurry of activity leading up to the AGM and Prize giving and the start of this year’s annual competitions. These have now commenced, albeit a little slowly, with only a few results to report. In the A Grade Championship there was an early upset with Peter Davies defeating our President, Michael Needham, in the first round, while Mal Waygood moved into the next round with a two frames to one victory over myself. In C Grade and also in the Singles Handicap Joe Frendo advanced to the next round. The lists for all competitions are now posted with a view to completing all by the end of November.

TATTLER SPRING 2019

The Tri-Club series also began in June with an away match against the Brisbane Club where our team of Jim Wicks, Joe Frendo, Brian Massey, Frank Wilkie, Anthony Martin and myself comfortably overcame our, very generous, hosts with a 7-2 victory. Our next match is against the Queensland Club on which I will report next time. One other matter I intended to mention last time, was the name of the new trophy generously donated by Neville Veal. It is the Curtis Clark Veal Shield.

The Brisbane Sporting Clays range has a variety of stands catering for the beginner to the more experienced shooter. Under/Over 12-gauge and 20-gauge shotguns are used to hit flying clay targets.

speed and angles of flight are all variable. Aspects of the natural terrain are fully utilised, with competitors shooting uphill, downhill, incoming, outgoing and overhead. Targets are also thrown as ‘single’ targets or ‘doubles’ – the second target is released at the sound of the gun being fired. Sporting clays is a safe and enjoyable morning of sport in natural bushland in Brisbane.

By Adrian Symons Our normal weekly frivolity is played out on a synthetic grass surface, which is gentle on ageing limbs and joints, but with the advent of the French Open our thoughts drift towards a more earthy substrate, and we embark on our annual pilgrimage to the Brisbane Tennis Centre at Tennyson (or should that be Tennis-on?) for our foray on the clay. The gritty surface and expansive court surrounds promote lengthy, often interminable rallies, so that by the close of play our aged combatants were more than happy to repair to the refreshment facilities to indulge in a wellearned libation or two.

+ RACQUETEERS CLUB

As the title suggests, the Ron Hambleton Handicap Singles Championship is devised so that some parity in opponents is achieved. While this is often a forlorn hope, this year’s final the handicappers struck a bullseye, for the protagonists Rick Rylands and Eddie Burke beat, battered and bashed each other for nigh on three hours, before Eddie eventually emerged from the dust of battle the exhausted victor of a 14-12 epic tussle. This was the third year in a row that these two have clashed in the finals, and Eddie can now finally and happily cast off the bridesmaid tag. School holiday tournaments forced us to temporarily relocate recently from our home at Morningside Tennis Centre to a new facility at Northshore, alongside Eat Street in the Portside precinct. Six excellent synthetic grass courts enjoy sumptuous river views and manicured

park surrounds, but the number of chainless canines drifting past attested to the site’s exposure to the more blustery elements - not a contributor to champagne tennis. The Peter Geraghty Memorial Doubles Handicap Championships are now upon us, and an innovation this year sees a true round robin format being employed, so that every pair will compete with every other pair throughout the life of the competition. Some interesting pairings have emerged, and the reputation, not to mention the sanity, of the handicappers is again under threat.

If you are thinking of getting back on the bike, now is a great time to ‘Come ride with us’ to experience great coffee, great fellowship and lifelong friends. Some exciting news this quarter saw Tattersall’s Club Member, Haidee Van Ruth, appointed to the TCC Committee. Tattersall’s first female Committee Member - a very warm welcome and a big congrats Haidee, great to have you on the team! A crisp Winter this year saw some TCC Members brave the elements with just 5 degrees on the Corso one freezing morning. May saw a dozen of the TCC cycle the 110km Great Brisbane Bike Ride and in June 16 of us cycled the 100km Brissie to the Bay bike ride, including a short but ridiculously steep (20%) incline at the end which saw many riders walk their bikes to the top - ouch! A well-deserved beer (or three) and burger at the Fox afterwards was enjoyed by all. In June, a dozen of us cycled the 100km loop from Brisbane to Point Lookout on Stradbroke Island - our first International Ride! Thanks to Peter Clark Ryan for hosting us on the island. July was Tour de France month and the TCC hosted its annual Le Tour Night viewing in the Members’ Bar with close to 100 cycling enthusiasts coming out to watch some of the great race. An excellent turn-out and night of watching highlights of mountain Stage 6 followed by live viewing of Stage 7 until 2am.

+ WALKERS CLUB By Frank Grimmins The cooler months are when the Walker’s program ramps up with longer, more challenging walks and less unwanted guests, eg leeches, ticks and snakes. Mount Coot-tha is our default walk of 5 or 10 kilometres and is suitable for all Walkers. Further afield we have visited Lower Portals – Rathdowney, Hardings Paddock – Ipswich and Gold Creek. The first away weekend was to the Sunshine Coast with walks from Sunshine Beach to Noosa and around Ponoma. This was organised by Pauline and Col with their usual expertise and a great time was enjoyed by all. In July a small group will visit Warwick for Jumpers and Jazz Festival with planned walks

at Mount Mitchell and Queen Victoria Falls. In August we return to Straddie and walk Flinders Beach. This has been an annual event for nearly every one of the 11 years the group has been active and is a popular weekend. New Members continue to join the Club. People who enjoy improving their fitness in good company are welcome. As we do venture to relatively remote areas, a basic level of fitness is required. For any queries about fitness or a particular walk, please contact me. There is a walk every week irrespective of the weather with the summer months centred around Mount Coot-tha in the morning and

some evening walks to take advantage of the afternoon breeze. However, there is no formal summer program. South East Queensland has a lot to offer those who enjoy the outdoors. The Walkers have explored Brisbane’s backyard for 11 years and there is lots more to see and revisit.

Neil Simon’s The Odd Couple, a chosen favourite of Group Members, kept the audience laughing at the May screening as the antics of Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon filled the screen. As usual the movie was preceded by dinner in the Healy Room featuring the special Film Group Menu and wine. The June movie, the British classic The Browning Version, received a special introduction from renowned educator and

Club Member, Peter Finch who alerted us to highlights of this powerful adaptation of Terence Rattigan's play and the superb performances of Michael Redgrave, Nigel Patrick and Wilfred Hyde-White. As in the previous year, the Group celebrated “Christmas in July” with a special menu at dinner followed by Christmas themed classic movie. Some great classic films are scheduled for the remainder of the year. All Club Members are welcome to attend and screenings are advertised in the Tattersall’s Mail each month. New Classic Film Group Members are very welcome and receive a monthly email notice of upcoming screenings.
