Underbool Press AGM - held in Term 3
Office bearers elected were Helen Gloster (Pres), Sonia McVicar (Sec) & Kylie Aikman (Treas). Thanks to Vickie Manley for her many years as treasurer.
We print 65 copies of the Press each week, as well as emailing out 110 copies.
Thank you to the ten typists who type and print the Press. Thank you to the following: Underbool Primary School and staff, Tamsin at the Underbool Post Office, the volunteer staff at the Pink Lakes Pantry, Molly Stone who delivers the Press to Walpeup, the staff at the Walpeup Store and Nicole Kelly who takes the Press to Linga/Boinka.
With the growing use of social media to advertise events and meetings we are finding the Press has become smaller. We may need to reduce the number of copies we print but we must continue to cater for those members of our community that are not connected to the internet.
Prices to use the Press remain
$2 for a small notice
$5 for a quarter page notice
$50 donation for unlimited use (12 months).

Junior Tennis
I hope to continue with junior tennis again this year with a slightly different program.
It will be run on a Monday night from 4pm til 5pm, proposed to start on 29th October through to the 3rd of December and then continuing on in the new year once school goes back.
The younger players will be practicing their ball skills with drills and fun games, while the ‘older’ players will do a warm up and then play a 4 game set with scoring and trophies / medals at the end of the season. The player will have to be able to hit/serve (a bit) to play, and will be at our discretion if they are ready for a game or not.
$2 per player each week, they MUST bring a full water bottle and be wearing sunscreen. Grade 3 and up. Extra parent help is also needed. Kristen has offered to take the older ones with the game, and I’ll be doing the drills with the younger ones. To enable this to go ahead, we are seeking more players - particularly older ones. Thank you to those who have already given me names, if there is anyone else who would like to have a go, please contact me ASAP - Kylie 0408393817.
I will also be sourcing some extra tennis coaching throughout the year. I will keep you posted.
There will be a bus running from Ouyen for a small charge. Please contact Lin Clarke on 0419922415 to book a seat.
