Weipa gymnastics AGM

Many hands make light work and the Weipa Gymnastics Club is hoping for a strong community turnout for a working bee following its annual general meeting on 22 March.
The AGM will be held at the club in the Assembly Hall at Rocky Point from 9am, with the working bee to then tackle general cleaning and maintenance ahead of the approaching gymnastics season.
A club spokesperson asked parents with children who currently or were looking at doing gymnastics this year to help out.
“The development of the club over the past year has been incredible and we would like to continue offering this great sport to our community,” they said.

Three-stroke win for Craven

Hydration was of critical importance for the field of 16 Wackers that teed off in incredibly hot and humid conditions at Carpentaria Golf Club on 5 March.
Ross Craven carded a round-winning 39 off the stick to return to the clubhouse with nett 31.5, while Steve Head was the best of the rest with nett 34.5.
Rhiannan Crossley (15th) and Matt Byrne (18th) were too good with the short clubs to secure the pin prizes for the weekly Weipa showdown.
Chelsea Buckley was crowned the Bradman’s recipient for the round.

Pair delivers ‘Dagic’ show

The grudge match that was the red tee Ambrose did not fail to deliver plenty of thrills and spills at Cooktown Golf Club on 8 March.
Team Dagic – Darren Powell and “Magic” Paul Sperring – produced an excellent nett 59.75 to beat Graham Burton and Steve Butler – aka the Queens – on nett 60, with Team Criddle’s Cam Venables and Daniel Biddle claiming bronze with nett 62.75.
In the latest episode of “Game of Throwens”, King Wal Welsh and King Sam Godfrey-Roberts were dethroned by Butler and Burton in a tense battle to determine who deserved the Cooktown crowns.
