Happy New Year everyone, I hope you all had a lovely relaxing break.
We had a wonderful Christmas break up party with about 60 members in attendance including guests Jan and Margaret. It was a terrific day with such a good atmosphere, the food was absolutely brilliant, members from the club making salads and sweets for everyone to enjoy.
We returned to slimmers Tuesday 7th January 2020 and we all had to face the scales. We all find it hard to resist those foods high in calories at Christmas time. Since our return in January 2020 we have 4 new members join us, people know that joining a slimming group is a great way to get help and support when you have gained weight over the holiday season.
Our guest speaker for January 2020 was Annie Dear from Carers QLD. Our members found this very informative. Our guest speakers for February are Bob Walker – to talk on scams and Nicole Blinoff to talk on makeup us ladies all love our makeup. Both of these speakers should be very interesting.

Our new committee members are Dawn Ryan- Secretary, Denna Newby- Vice Secretary, Bev Sheean- Treasurer, Margaret King- Vice-Treasurer, Lynelle Schrader-Weight Recorder, Jan Sampson- Weight Recorder, Mary Ross- Second Recorder, Dorothy Holt- Hostess, Marnie Harris- Social Co-Ordinator

Here’s to a successful healthy and happy year to all our club members. Regards: Judy
Core Supports budget has 4 support areas:
Initially, she thought the Club would be just for residents of the golf estate but membership has grown to include ladies from other areas of Banksia Beach, Bongaree and Woorim. The objective of the club is to meet new friends and create a community in a relaxed setting. A committee was formed last June with the inaugural dinner in August.
The most repetitive comment from ladies attending dinners is “I want to meet new people and make friends.” Another common comment is “I look forward to the monthly dinners and would not miss one.”
“Early parenthood can be daunting particularly when you haven’t negotiated this path before,” Lorna said. “Mums are told they should feel ecstatic and elated during this new chapter of their lives but for many the reality is very different.” The Bribie Island Baptist Church has long wanted to bring this program to fruition where mums can feel fully inclusive in a supported environment.
Remember if it’s flooded, forget it.
The beach traffic will start to drop off now, after the Australia Day long weekend. The track from 8th Avenue car park is still soft in the usual places, so just be careful as you enter the beach as there is a drop-off.
It is important coming off the beach as we often see 4×4’s hit the drop off ridge, pushing sand into the bottom of their radiator which damages it, requiring towing. Remember to check the tides before you leave on your trip up the beach, don’t drive in the soft sand above the high watermark.
Remember if you get stuck, call Best Bribie Tow Company for help, they respond quickly, are reliably priced and not charging you a fortune. Now go enjoy our special part of the world!!!!
