Gym Notes
A recent traveller said how lucky the people of this small community were to have a gym with so much equipment. Several young ladies of the town are into weights but where are all the young men?
Nationals Enjoy!
Members of the local branch of the National Party enjoyed a special dinner at the Motor Lodge, last Thursday night, to welcome a government committee that was touring sugar areas.
Fun Race to Gretel by Two and a Half Minutes.
In perfect weather, at the weekend, ‘Gretel’, a former America’s Cup Challenger, beat the ‘Spirit of Queensland’, brought here specially for the race by Chris Dorrough, by two and a half minutes, to win the eighth Airlie Fun Race.
The Fun Race was a colourful flotilla of boats filled with merry-making crews in various costumes and au natural.
With a combination of good food, good entertainment and beautiful girls, Wanderers and Rotary provided an excellent start to the fun weekend.
Guests and locals mingled on the dance floor and patio, listening to the delightful music by the Airlie Beach Boys, at the first Fun Race Ball.
Greens Irrigation
Complete irrigation of the greens at the Proserpine Golf Club, with the club’s own bore and automatic watering system, marks a milestone in the history of golfing in Proserpine, and adds to the already high standard of this splendid 18-hole course.
Cannonvale Pre-school
Last Friday night, Cannonvale Pre-school Tini-Boppers danced the night away at their Fancy Dress Disco Party. The evening was planned as a social for the children and was a great success, as a lot of fun was had by all.
Airlie Footpath, a scrambled egg Job
Cr McGrath said the footpaths are a mixture of full width concrete, a narrow strip of concrete, paving stones and planks. He called for a full inspection of footpaths in the Main Street of Airlie Beach.
