Dear Wynnum Manly Residents, Unfortunately the Wynnum Manly Australia Day breakfast has had to be cancelled for the first time in it’s 16 year history. The reasons were the heavy rain, the forecast of further heavy rain, and the possibility of damage being caused to the park. Instead there will be a free morning tea upstairs at the Wynnum Manly Leagues Club 92 Wondall Road Manly West commencing at 9.30 am on Thursday 26th January. Tea, coffee and lamingtons will be provided.
The winners of the Australia Day Colouring in competition will be announced and the prizes awarded.
The Scope Club of Wynnum Australia Day Award for outstanding voluntary service will also be presented. This is a very important local award. The morning tea will last for one hour.
Entries in the colouring in competition should be brought to the club by 9.30 am at the latest.
See you there.

An Evening with Ange Postecoglou
Just over a year ago, the name Ange Postecoglou was nearly unknown in Brisbane football circles. Now, of course, he's a household name, an icon, a pioneer...whatever superlative you'd like to roll out, it fits nicely with the current A-League Premiership winning Brisbane Roar Coach.
And Bayside United Football Club are giving you a chance to sit down and experience an evening with the master. NSL winning player and coach, Socceroo, Young Socceroos coach, television pundit... Postecoglou remains one of the most interesting people in the Australian game and he'll be taking the stage to talk you through the highlights of his brilliant career.
Of course, no Sportsman's dinner would be complete without a Q and A session to round off the evening. Who's gonna ask him about the infamous on-screen spat with Craig Foster?
A three course meal, top-flight Australian comedian Fred Lang, raffles and sporting auctions will keep you well-fed and entertained thorughout the night for only $85 a ticket or $750 for a table of ten.
Venue: Waterloo Bay Leisure Centre Date: 27th January
To book contact Ben on 0450 244 555 or Steve on 0403 461 286.

Want to travel and get paid?
Are you interested in travelling and getting paid for it? A number of graduates of the International TESOL College, based in the Wynnum Manly area, have already taken up positions overseas.
There are many countries keen to have 'native English speakers' as English teachers as the people around the world realise that most business is done in English. Opportunities abound.
There are short term volunteering positions, short term paid positions, and most commonly 12 month contracts to teach in primary schools, high schools, universities or in business situations.
Some countries demand that the applicant has a university degree, others do not.
Some positions offer return air fare too (reimbursed after part or all of the contract), and in most places there are great opportunities to travel in non teaching times.
The big news this week is that Wynnum Manly is to get a new library following the sale of the old Wynnum Central School site to the Brisbane City Council. The State Government will require the brick building to be retained for community use.
Council has promised a new library, a park and some redevelopment of the site. This is all within the provisions of the Wynnum Manly Neighbourhood Plan which was passed unanimously by council and came into effect on 1st July 2009. I will be holding Council to these promises and have a set a timeline for the new library to be open well before the end of the next term of council , namely March 2016.
I woud also like to see a set of public toilets adjacent to the new library. I still get regular requests for public toilets in Wynnum Central, despite the council paying for toilets behind Wynnum One Hour Photos to be cleaned and opened during trading hours and the toilets between Coles and the Amcal chemist which have been closed recently but which I have requested be reopened.
The Wynnum library services a large part of Brisbane as the nearest libraries are at Carindale, Carina and Bulimba. Under modern library standards the library should be larger because of the strong patronage levels. I look forward to working with council staff and the community in ensuring an appropriate design for the new library.
If you are a regular library user please let me know your ideas for the new library.

No Appointments Necessary for Muscular Pain
Hi. My name is Nickki Lee-Leong and I’d like to introduce myself as your new local Remedial Massage Therapist specialising in Emmett, Bowen, Reiki and Massage. I am working with Leanne Zaver at Manly Acupuncture & Natural Therapies on Stratton Terrace in Manly.
I have been in practice for 10 years. I have worked at Palazzo Versace Spa, the Golden Door Health Club Mirage and the Golden Door Retreat in the Gold Coast Hinterland. In 2006 I was contracted to work at Peak Performance Combined Muscle Therapies in Townsville. From 2009 I worked from my home-based clinic also in Townsville. In this time I have massaged various people from 6 month old babies to the elderly, including the NQ Cowboys.
Cr Peter Cumming has announced that Andrew Street, Lota, adjacent to the Bayside United Soccer Club, will be upgraded. Cr Cumming said that the street will be widened and car parking spaces sealed, adjacent to the Club’s fence. This work is scheduled to be completed by 30 June, 2012. The cost of the project is $92,000.
Councillor Cumming said the improvements were intended to make the street safer during periods of heavy usage on Saturday mornings during the soccer season. Work is expected to start in February 2012 and finish in March 2012.

Community Christmas Carols at the Pelican's
Community Carols at the Pelican's Nest by the Bay went off without a hitch on Saturday night after being rained out last year. Dinners and passers-by were treated to a chorus of Christmas tunes from a local choir group. Early birds would have caught the Paddle Pop Lion handing out free gifts.
After the carols the firework show commenced. A large crowd gathered to witness a spectacular show. Mike the owner of the Pelican's Nest by the Bay is always keen to support the community and supporting local charities.

Fashion on the Foreshore
Last weekend the Saturday the 3rd of December the foreshore at Darling point was transformed into a high society fashion Mecca. Three local talented fashion designers Harpi van Der Mourn, Freddy Fashions and Tash Dearden put together a fashion parade that would have rocked the London, Italian and Paris catwalks. The show started with some dark poetry before moving on to the parade, a mixture of dance and fashion in a tug of war light against dark.
There was lots of tasty food and drinks available with all proceeds from the event going to the RSPCA. A fantastic effort by the designers with great food, great entertainment and a beautiful sunny afternoon at the park.

Tri it at Manly Community Triathlon - Saturday 12 November 2011
Bayside Park, Manly (on the Esplanade) 9.00 am to 12 noon.
The "Tri It" is not your usual triathlon - the cycle leg has been replaced with a paddle leg to take advantage of the "beautiful bayside" location!
This event is not aimed at 'elite athletes' but ordinary people who want to be more active and have always wanted to give a triathlon a go!
The event legs are a 200m swim, 400m unassisted paddle or 800m assisted paddle and 2klm run. The triathlon is relatively short and compact and will make a great spectator event.
In keeping with the plan for this to be a fun Community Event there will be no official timekeeping, instead a random prize draw for event participants will occur at the end of the day.
SPONSOR'S WELCOME!
Dear Wynnum Manly Residents,
