Pickleball

Have you heard of Pickleball?

Pickleball is touted as the fastest growing game in the world, with more than three million devotees in the US alone (where it started many years ago), and it is proving just as popular in Australia. Pickleball is a sport for all ages, and it is recognized that sports such as this help to improve the physical and mental well-being of those playing. We have been playing Pickleball on Bribie Island for five years now, and our club membership and enthusiasm is growing rapidly! Currently, we are playing on courts we have marked out on Sunderland Drive near the skateboard park, but we are working closely with the Moreton Bay Regional Council to secure land to build purpose-built Pickleball courts since our club is gaining new keen members weekly, and Pickleball is here to stay! The huge costs associated with building our new courts will be mostly be supplied by our club so we are ramping up our fundraising efforts to earn the funds we will need.

For more information about our club, please contact our President Bob Skinner boblinsk@gmail.com, 0429122757, or Vice-President, Wayne Kelly w_kelly55@hotmail. com, 0403594029

Please meet Judy Wood, our Fundraising SubCommittee Chair, and her fund-raising sub-committee members, Nigel and Cathie Gouldsbrough! They have some wonderful ideas and we appreciate anything you might be able to do to help us reach our goals! Some ideas are Sponsorship, Monetary donations, Vouchers or Items to be raffled, but we are open to any suggestions.
