Tonight Lions Club of Helensvale hosted a very interesting guest speaker John Purnell. John worked behind the scene with the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games. He had a few yarns to tell.

As promised, a Ziegler & Brown portable grill for the Gaven State School Trivia night next month. They make an awesome camping BBQ.

Hazard Reduction burn is continuing in Wongawallan behind the Timberview Estate. The lite breeze will push the smoke in a easterly direction.

It’s been a cracker of a day at the Pacific Pines Winterfest 2018. The Guanaba Rural Fire Brigade and a few other volunteers worked the sausage sizzle all day and I must say, it was flat out! Well done President Vikki and all the volunteers. Clean up is done, I’m going to head home and put my feet up.

Some great 7’s action at the Coomera Crushers this afternoon with the ladies showing the guys how to play Rugby. Plus it was great to catch up with Dean (working the BBQ), a former Ormeau Lion and great volunteer.
