Bay Wave Youth Festival @ Lota Skate Park 2010
The Bay Wave Youth Festival is in its eighth year.
The Bay Wave Youth Festival, held at Lota Skate Park on Saturday (22.05.2010), was an accomplished success once again. The festival had regular activities such as candle making, rock wall climbing, bike and skate comp, music and hair braiding. The event filled day saw Councillor Peter Cumming officially opening the festival in his Bayside United soccer uniform.
Youth and Community Program (YACP) Coordinator, Emina Ajanovic says the festival is getting bigger every year and gives a big thank you, to Port of Brisbane Corporation, Brisbane City Council and BABI Youth and Family Service for the generous contributions they make to this event each year.
Miss Ajanovic said, “It’s great to see the local community support local events and celebrate young people’s talents and achievements.”
The bands were the perfect accompaniment to the skate and bike competitions, they were diverse, energetic and uplifting. One boatie who resides at the Manly Marina said he could hear music all the way down to the water. Soloist, Rachelle V, from Warwick was the first on the bill and provided strong beautiful lyrics along with original guitar work.
Death metal band, Upside Downside, supplied a different genre to the day with their heavy hair flicking. Wellington Point band, Jaime Wells Trio, were gifted with striking melodies that belong on a Walt Disney movie. Recently arrived from Cairns, The Medics were fresh and compelling. Two piece outfit, Jaded, gave the crowd a humorous but lacklustre performance.
Greenthief were clean, rocking and swinging. Terror Lake were somewhat rawer than Blink 182. Venice Mobster were irresistibly powerful. Skate punk band, Friends With Enemies were hard, fast and loud. The final act were regulars, Don’t Tempt Thieves, who have progressed into a polished, impressive rock band.
Brooke Watson and Shyla Baldwin of Lota said, “Bay Wave is such an awesome event, the boys are here to compete in the bike comp, we are here to socialise, do all the activities and listen to the music.”
The definite drawcard of the Bay Wave Youth Festival is always the bike and skate competitions.
For the skate comp; the 11-12 year old winners were (1st) Keanu Peira (12) and (2nd) Thor Turner (11), 13 – 16 year old winners were (1st) Nick (14) and (2nd) Aaron Hall (14), and open winners were – (1st) Jarrod Rigdby (20) and (2nd) Andy Williamsan (20).
For the bike comp; the under 17 winners were (1) Callum Baldwin (15) and (2nd) Kieran Freeman (15), and the open winners were (1st) Tom Ross (19) and (2nd) Josh Irvine (23).
I regret to inform residents that the Manly pool will be closing from Monday, 22 June until Monday, 2 August. The pool does not have sufficient electricity available to power enough heating equipment to keep the water warm yet.
In addition time is needed for a new slide to be installed.
I apologise for my earlier notification that it would be open all this winter

Mercury Theatre’s - Carbon Dating
If you have ever been caught on a date with a weirdo, a nerd, an opinionated rich person, an uneducated slob, an unambitious person, a heartbreaker or all of these, then you can relate to Mercury Theatre’s new production ‘Carbon Dating’. This Australian play, written by Ron Elisha, deals with the minefield of blind dates.
The play is set in various restaurants as the mismatched couples meet one by one and try to have a pleasant evening. Co-directed by Helen Haberland and Vicki Coates, the play proved a challenge in casting and there are a few “cougars” in sight. However it has been great fun to rehearse and the cast and directors are sure there will be lots of laughs for the audience.
This is a comedy but has adult themes and Mercury Theatre does not recommend it as suitable for children.
Come, have fun and support this local group which has been providing entertainment in the Wynnum/Manly area for 61 years. Carbon Dating will open with a Gala Night on Saturday 8 May at 7.30pm followed by performances on 14,15,21 and 22 May at 8.00pm at the Manly RSL Hall 184 Melville Terrace Manly
Phone 3893 1542 or 3390 1458 for bookings
