DVD - CD LAUNCH - FRIDAY 6 SEPTEMBER, 2013

 

WHERE:  Airlie Beach Bowls Club, Jubilee Pocket
WHEN:  Friday 6 September commencing at 5pm
WHY: To launch and celebrate Adrian Connor's  proud achievement of his         "AIRLIE BEACH MEMORIES"   DVD                                                               ….and also to farewell Allen and Barbara Southwood.
THE STORY: Adrian Connor was the "official" photographer at our Airlie reunion on 29 June. As a result of the spirit of the evening and the wealth of memorabilia that emerged, Adrian became passionate about using his excellent skills to edit and produce a memorable tribute to our history. He has literally spent hundreds of hours voluntarily researching, editing and combining all the diverse memorabilia into a cohesive, interesting and heart-warming DVD worthy of being treasured for many years to come.
COST: THE DVD - $20.00 - A combination of rare film footage, old photos, music recordings, reunion photos and voice over produced into a DVD.  
THE PHOTO DVD   - $10.00  -  A collection of reunion photos and early Airlie photos produced in a printable photo format. 
DVD & CD PACKAGE - $25.00                         
RSVP / ORDERS / QUESTIONS: Pam Pole 4946 1271 - 0448 870 482 - pampole@hotmail.com
RSVP FOR SAUSAGE SIZZLE & BOWLS GAME: Sandy - 0488 754 184 or 4946 7656
POSTSCRIPTS: In the course of working on our history, Adrian's car and his belongings were    vandalised and torched. This evening is therefore a community way of supporting Adrian in the spirit of the 1970s and 1980s.
 We also ask that you treat the Airlie Beach Memories DVDs with respect - and that you reward Adrian for his many hours of work by NOT copying them NOR placing them on the Internet. By not copying or sharing these DVDs you will allow Adrian the opportunity to be reimbursed for all his work by the DVD sales and to re-establish himself after his losses.

Two Cinema's for Airlie Beach and other stories

Hi Everyone

It has been over a month since I last sent out an email and there have been many changes both in town and personally for me.  

I have changed to First National Whitsunday Coast Real Estate Office. There were a number of reasons for this change but primarily, First National is Australia's biggest network of real estate offices with over 400 here and another 50 in New Zealand plus a few internationally. Because they are so big, they have really good systems and software in place including a fantastic buyer management programme that allows me to reach more potential buyers than I have been able to in the past.

LIBRARY TO HOST WRITERS' GROUP MEETING

LIBRARY TO HOST WRITERS' GROUP MEETING

Following calls for expressions interest in reactivating writers' groups, an initial meeting will be held at Beach Library Cannonvale on Thursday 30 May at 2:00 p.m. to decide future venue options and days/time for meetings. The library previously hosted two groups – Creative Ink, for recreational writers, and Writers of the Whitsundays (WOW), for published and aspiring authors, and is happy to provide the opportunity for interested writers to get together to exchange ideas, critique efforts, and share insights on all things writing.

With the 4th annual Whitsunday Writers' Festival just around the corner in July at Coral Sea Resort, and the reintroduction this year of Queensland Literary Awards and associated grant incentives for emerging writers, it is a good time to dust off the pens and get those creative ideas down on paper.

For further information, or if you would like to be part of a group, but are unable to attend the initial set up meeting, please phone Beach Library 49461366 to have your name added to contact list for future meetings and events.
