Schodel and Johnson win Wynnum GC Mixed Doubles

ur annual club GC Mixed Doubles was held on Saturday. It was great to see how many members entered and to watch them enjoy the day. Some great jump shots were seen, and terrific long roquets as well.

As expected, there were some very close games. However, at the end of the day, it was Ron Schodel and Shelley Johnson who won with the most hoops overall.

Congratulations to the winners, and well done to the other club members who fought so well.

We have the very best volunteers around.

These wonderful members have given their time to assist us with coaching the young children from Manly State School every Friday afternoon. The children are loving it, and we have had wonderful responses when asked if they are having fun.

Here they are, our volunteers extraordinaire... many thanks to you all. You are doing a wonderful job.
