Bribie prepares for awards, seniors morning tea and court renovations

Although Christmas and New Year festivities are fast approaching, Bribie Island players are not yet in shutdown mode. Annual Championships have finished, and Friday 3 October will bring the club's annual award presentation lunch.

October is also Seniors Month, and the club is organising a free morning tea on Saturday 25 October to celebrate and connect with the local community. The aim is good food, good fun, new friends and a chance for visitors to discover an activity that helps mind, body and soul.

Two events are planned for November. Saturday 1 November is the final Interclub Golf Gala Day for 2025, and Saturday 15 November is the annual charity fundraiser, this year supporting CADA, the Centre Against Domestic Abuse.

Between 6 and 16 October members will have a forced rest from croquet while R.T. Greenkeeping completes annual court renovations. The club is grateful for the difference professional greenkeeping has made. Before 2024 the courts were a headache, but now the club has five well-grassed lawns, no bare patches and shaded areas under Council trees.
