By Narelle Brooksby Keppoch is located 30km north of Naracoorte on the Riddoch Highway and is predominately a primary industry area.  Its local Hall, built in 1953, is the only public meeting facility in the local area and is used for family celebrations, meetings and other functions. To comply with legislation, the Hall Committee are currently arranging the installation of disabled toilet facilities.  They are very grateful for the Naracoorte News Give Back Program donation to assist with the cost of this project.  The Committee would also like to acknowledge NLDC for their Community Chest Grant. Recently, Leanne Dolling was spotted reading the golf results while Stan Brooksby and Ian Ward were raking leaves.  They are some of the committee members who work hard to keep tidy the hall and surrounding grounds. The Hall is fully equipped to cater for up to 80 people and is available for hire. Please […]

By Di Carberry The Apsley Golf Club is a small country Golf Club which is open for six months during late Autumn, Winter and early Spring. All upkeep and course maintenance is carried out by members on a voluntary basis.

The meeting was held with 18 members present, not a great number but there were several apologies. Kevan Addicott remains as President for a 3 rd year as does PJ Boyanton as Treasurer.

Congratulations to all winners and Champions, pictures of those in attendance are on the club Facebook page. We welcomed 2 new Life Members these being […]

By Dean & Marg Ludwig We are a diverse group of people of all ages and interests. The one thing that brings us together is the joy of playing an instrument, singing songs and making new friends. The group has been meeting each week for over five years in the Breakfast Room of the Naracoorte Hotel on Thursday nights from 7 until 9 o’clock. Most of our members had not played any instrument before joining and had never performed in public. We always welcome new members and provide encouragement and coaching and with a little practice you can soon be playing along to songs. We perform when requested for the pleasure we receive and would like to have some of our own microphones, leads and stands so we are able to present ourselves at varied locations. It is difficult to fit more than a dozen people all with instruments around […]
