Lots on at Locky Rally

Not only did the beautiful weather have people bringing their vintage tractors, trucks, cars, stationary engines etc to Lockington & District Living Heritage Complex’ 21

st rally, but market stalls, supporters of the home grown talent con-

cert, and especially the great display of ‘Scarecrows’ had a great influence on why one should visit Lockington on April 21 and 22.

Landcare report:

Our Annual meeting was held at the Lockington Hotel on Thursday 5th April, with John Wright remaining President and Wendy Sims as Secretary/Treasurer. During the last 12 months we have been fortunate to have had a wide range of

guest speakers, Andrew Crossman - growing Avocados, Shane Weller - growing Walnuts, David Hammond - growing hemp and Faye and Andrew Bail educating us about the native flowers on their property. We have ex-panded our weather probes which can be accessed at locking-tonlc.weebly.com at any time. At our meeting Shari Ranking from the North Central Catchment Manage-ment Authority, spoke to us about her previous work in Queensland on the gas fields and later in pastoral areas covering a huge land area stretching from Normanton to Mt Isa and across towards the east coast. New members are most welcome, we meet on the second Thursday night of even months at the Lockington Hotel at 7pm, commencing with a meal prior to the meeting. This year our major project is the planting of trees along the old Elmore rail-way line, between ODonnell road and Diggora road. Come along and join us. Wendy Sims 0427 868307

As Club Secretary, Millie definitely has her hands full but she's also tak-en on the role of Netball Umpire Co-ordinator for the second year in a row and she sits on the Social Com-mittee. It's safe to say Millie loves to help out and to be involved. She also plays netball on a Saturday and is a very handy goaler.

LBU FOOTBALL CLUB NEWS

(Right) Jarod Bacon & Liam Main (Left) Millie Haines

Meet our senior football captain, Liam Main and our vice captain, Jarod Ba-con. Both are local boys who have returned to the club in recent years and have earned the respect of their team mates in being voted in as captains.

Matt Dunham So far Matt has escaped our cameras and the limelight but we finally caught up with him and what perfect timing with the news of his national Bravery Award making the papers. This is Matt's second year coaching our Under 17s boys and he has been doing a fantastic job. Will Hobbs has been help-ing him out as Assistant Coach and together they are working hard to get the best out of our juniors.

Seniors win Round 1 game against Mounts The boys came out strong Round 1 and pumped Mount Pleasant 20.11 - 131 to 9.4 - 58. Well done boys!

Stone Family take to the Stone Family take to the courts

Last weekend was a huge milestone for Michelle (Shelby) Stone and her daughters, Olivia & Casey.

It was the first time all three of them have donned the LBU net-ball dress and represented the Club on the same day. Shelby played her 300th game with LBU in May 2016 and she's still going strong. Her eldest daughter Olivia plays for our 15&U netball side and Casey plays for our D Primary team. Shelby doesn't think her body will last long enough to play on the court with her daughters but we hope to see the girls carry on their mothers successful netball legacy. Fantastic effort Team Stone!

VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION Huge thank you to our volunteers who help out each and every week! You are the unsung heroes of this Club and we appreciate everything you do. For those that don't know, an inordinate amount of work goes into preparing the grounds, stocking the canteen sorting cash floats and a hundred other small jobs that go under the radar, just to prepare for the game Darren Keath and Will Hobbs can be seen around the grounds doing the line marking of the oval week in and week out.

Jack Oliver Jacky has been helping out wher-ever he can around the Club for many years now. Jacky can be seen at every training filling up the boys water bottles and always with a smile on his face, a cheeky comment and a kind word. It is volunteers and club members like you that make this club so very special to be a part of.

LOCKINGTON GOLF CLUB

REPORT – 23RD APRIL 2018

11/04: The ladies had their first hit for

the season, a 4-person ambrose drop off event played over 9 holes. It was terrific to have visitors from Rochester, Mitia-mo, Bamawm and Calivil, and the enjoyable day was capped off by a delicious lunch. The event proved to be a remarka-bly even contest, with 3 teams having scratch scores of 44, and the other had 45. The winners were Denise Newth (Bamawm) and 3 locals – Sue Harris, Phyll Macfarlane and Pauline Humbert - with a fine score of 44-14.5-29.5. Runners up were Chris Turner (Bamawm), Lyn Twigg (Mitiamo) and 2 locals – Jenny Holt and Annette Brereton – with a solid score of 44-13.25-30.75. Nearest the pin: Kathy Connors. A couple of days before, the Locky ladies pennant team kicked off their 2018 season in hot conditions with a 2/1 de-feat at the hands of Campaspe. Kathy Connors lost 5 and 4, Chris Turner lost 4 and 3, while Phyll Macfarlane received a walkover. 14/04: An impressive field of keen golfers turned up for Sat-urday’s stableford event, but the inclement weather meant that a number of golfers pulled out during the afternoon. Of those hardy souls who completed 18 holes, Travis Mancer was best on course with a really good score in the conditions of 34 points to win the Privilege Cup. Jason Wakefield’s sea-son got off to a good start with a solid score of 32. Next best were Tim Staley (31) and Will Hardess (29). Of those who finished 9 holes, Kevin Humbert was best with 18, followed by Tom Scurrah (17). Nearest the pins: 17th – James Hodgens; 2nd shot 12th – Mat Dennis (A Grade), Ron Dixon (B Grade), Rob Hardess (C Grade); 2nd shot 18th for the 6-pack smack – Travis Mancer. Spike’s Longest Drive on the 6th (a challenge in the condi-tions) – Kevin Humbert (A), Jeff Carnie (B), Graeme Hodgens (C). Neither the Echuca CIH eagles nest, nor Cap-tain Terry’s yardstick was won. 16/04: The Locky ladies pennant team travelled to Elmore and played the home side. In a tight contest that could have

gone either way, Elmore prevailed 2/1. Helen Hayes won her match 2 and 1, Kathy Connors lost 1-down, and Phyll Macfarlane lost 2 and 1. 18/04: The ladies enjoyed a stableford round, with Helen Hayes the star of the day, winning the Monthly Medal and B Grade honours with a fine score of 35 points. A Grade was narrowly won by Annette Brereton with 32 points, ahead of Carolyn Mitchell (31). Nearest the pin: A Grade – Sherryl Jones; B Grade – Kathy Connors. 21/04: An excellent field of 30 golfers enjoyed glorious weather and the course in terrific condition for Saturday’s stroke round at Lockington, with numbers boosted by visitors from Bamawm and Rochester. Jason Wakefield was in brilliant form to finish with a super 79-20-59 to win the Monthly Medal and B Grade. Matt Baulch was runner-up in B Grade with a solid 80- 16-64, followed by Rick Connors 85-19-66. Will Hardess was in red-hot form with 91-30-61 to romp home in C Grade. Runnerup was Tony Brooke with 100-35-65. The close finish was in A Grade, with victory to Grant Humbert (68-1-67), just ahead of Terry Thomas (77-9-68). Yardstick balls for good scores: A Grade – Stuart Newton and Kevin Humbert (both 69); B Grade – Ian Maddison (66), Warrick Holt and Jeff Carnie (both 70); C Grade – Tom Scurrah (66), Des Pentreath (70). Nearest the pins: 3rd – Don Muhleisen; 2nd shot – Bamawm visitor Sam Newth (A Grade), Matt Baulch (B Grade), Will Hardess (C Grade); 2nd shot 13th for the 6-pack smack – Terry Thomas. Spike’s Longest Drive on the 6th, sponsored by Hot ‘n’ Cold Plumbing – James Hodgens (A), Ian Maddison (B), Des Pentreath (C). Don Muhleisen’s excellent shot on the 3rd won him the 12 balls in the Echuca CIH eagles nest, but Captain Terry’s yardstick prize of $200 on the 16th continues to elude golfers. Upcoming events: Saturday 28th April Par. Duty – Grant Humbert, Jason Wake-field. Wednesday 2nd May Stroke. Duty – Lois Chugg, Marg Eade. Committee Meeting. Reminder to all mem-bers that subs are due by 30th April.

Lockington Bowls Club Report

16.4.2018 by Chris Stewart The Brereton sisters-in-law dominated the social Pairs on Tuesday. Bev Brereton and Annette Brereton (s)

combined to show a power of skill and defeat their opponents in merciless fashion and take home the accolades. During the week Don Isgro and Kalvin Stout met again, this time in a quar-ter final of the 21 Up Presidents trophy. This followed their recent clash in the 100 Up final where Isgor won the title in a high standard match. Once again it was Isgro that ruled supreme as he gained the initial break to beat a gallant Stout 21-14. Isgro will now meet Ken Main in the semi-final, with the winner to play Ray Hanson in the final. Stout was far from disgraced and will no doubt feature in future competitions. Several members travelled to district tournaments over the past week. Don Isgro, Ray Hanson, Russell Shawcross and Kevin Humbert enjoyed the conditions at Strahfieldsaye. Tom Davis, Alan Kauffman and Hanson jour-neyed to Mathoura for the Triples - Skins and returned home with seven pelts plus two of the four major raffles on the day. Some people have most of the luck!! On Friday evening there was another fine roll up for the barbeque and practice. The missing link in the members lucky draw was Geoff Shaw-cross.
