STOP PRESS 3 January 2012:
Lions Club parking at Noosa Heads
From December 26th to January 15th our club is working with Sunshine Coast Council and other local clubs to provide a much needed day parking area in Noosa Heads. Our role is to collect parking fees and monitor the gates in the late afternoons. All involved gain a share of the fees collected.
We had a great start with some 400 cars (and so happy tourists) parked on day one. Since then there have been some more good days but unfortunately a few bad days when, due to the weather, the park has to be closed to save damage caused by parking on the grass.
Peter Hallman has kept all rostered members informed on a daily basis. Thanks to those who have helped raise funds by volunteering for this activity and bring on clear skies and gentle breezes.
Carols by Candle light.
After the cancellation of the RSL Carols evening due to rain it was very pleasing to have perfect weather for The Christian Outreach Carols on December 18th on Gympie Terrace. Not only was the weather perfect but also the venue and carol presentation. It was a perfect avenue to showcase local talent and overlooking the crowd at dusk, many of whom had mini fluoro lights waving, it was a memorable scene.
Our Lions club provided food and drinks with both vans and a drink stall kept busy and at times very busy as queues formed for chips and food. Many thanks to all volunteers for as Gus Hatter said, “With a full roster we were to give all volunteers a much needed break outside the vans during the busy evening.”

Australia Day Event.
This event will be held at Tewantin Noosa Lions Park Gympie Terrace this coming Australia Day, Thursday 26th Jan . It promises to be a special day with both serious and fun elements. There will be the formal Australian Citizen ship ceremony plus the naming of our local legend for 2012. Already plans are well under way for music performances, community and commercial stalls and of course our club food vans and drink stall.
To run such an event many volunteers are needed. Already many have volunteered to help Peter Schofield leading up to and on the day as noted in his email on 22/12/2011. Gus Hatter has called for volunteers for providing food/drinks through his email on 02/10/2012. If you have time to help on that day please contact Peter or Gus.
SOCIAL REPORT – THE MELBOURNE CUP CALCUTTA
October 31st saw the horses gathering at the Den for our Melbourne Cup Calcutta inight.
Themes abounded with horse represented being Americain, Pinker Pinker, Lights in Heaven, Shoewan, Fox Hunter, Mider’s Touch & Shamrocker to name a few with Chris Pullin really quick at establishing the horses name. Again the food was great & the McDonalds won the raffle
The inaugural Lions Cup with horses running Ladies Apparel ridden by Peter Schofield, Gardening Guru by Cathy Jack, Witchs’ Spell by Christine Pullin & Midnight Madness suitably dressed in navy blue crepe gathered gently under the breast & finished with grey ribbon was guest John Nichols!
Ladies Apparel was late leaving the stalls as he had problems with the pink chin strap but shot to the front and took the cup. It was quite a leap, there was no protest registered and it was felt by the crowd that considering the jocky was caught short for a cap and had to wear a pink bra as a cap instead his win was well earned.
The jocky’s wife Jenny was thrilled with the trophy and promised to keep it dusted and displayed in a prominent place in the Schofield home!!!
A fun night was had and thank you to Peter, Louise, Michael, Colin and Rosemay’s great ideas for the night.

Lake Cootharaba Cruise
58 Lions and guests took in the fabulous sunset over Lake Cooroibah with much laughter and chatter. It was great to have Cooroy Pomona and Maroochy North Shore join us.
After disembarking, approximately 20 braved fish and chips, completely crashing all diets and adding to the cholesterol levels but a great way to wind down the evening.
To those who were SO worried about the rugby union, the TV was running loud and clear at the River Deck Restaurant and MV Noosa Queen was held up until the last minute!
Buckets were needed to bail out the boat after May heard the result!!
Thanks to Rosemary Luyendyk for the suggestion of the cruise and making the arrangements.
