By Mick Derrington Thank you for the contribution of $500 towards our hockey club. We will use the funds to go towards new goalie equipment for our senior goalies. In recent years we have upgraded the junior goalie equipment so they have the best & sadly some of the senior equipment now needs a birthday. Our club in recent years have been the most successful in the association in terms of premierships & also numbers. We are a very socially family focussed club with mums & dads & kids of the same family all playing. We welcome new families & players of all ages to come along.

By Abigail Goodman The Lucindale Economic Development Board Inc (LINC) aims to be the link between community ideas and making them happen. It was established 20 years ago to promote the development of the Lucindale district and community by developing projects, identifying funding opportunities and acting as an umbrella body for various community organisations/projects.

By Rochelle Schenscher It’s not everyday you get to meet a sporting icon but these lucky girls from The Keith Tennis Club got that chance.  During the Adelaide International in January clubs were invited to participate in a Red ball challenge. Over 100 kids aged 5-8yrs participated, teams of four played 10 minute half court matches. The kids then had the opportunity to have a hit with some tennis players including grand slam champion Petra Kvitova and Aussie John Peers. It was a fantastic programme and a privilege to be able to be a part of the day. The Keith tennis club play Friday nights under lights. We have had a great season so far with the weather being kind to us. We have over 40 members of the club with lots of new faces having signed up this season. We have also been lucky to have tennis coaching for […]

By Kaye Beauchamp The Naracoorte Branch of the Embroiderers’ Guild was very grateful to receive your previous donation. The money was put towards subsidising the costs of bringing a Guild tutor to run a workshop for our members in November. Carol Mullan was the tutor, and she taught “Counted Sashiko”. This is a technique which uses very simple stitches, but the patterns created can be quite complex. Another workshop is planned for March this year, to learn a different embroidery technique. In June last year our branch celebrated its 40th birthday, with a lunch for current and past members. We also invited members of the Executive Committee from Adelaide and members from Mt. Gambier branch to help us celebrate. Our group meets on the 4th Tuesday of every month at the Old Schoolroom behind the Sheep’s Back Museum, starting at 9.30 am. The first meeting this year will be held […]
