Barcoo Independent 180408
Barcoo Independent 180408
Saturday, April 12 saw the start of the regular season for the junior Magpies with a trip to Barcaldine to contest the under 7s, 8s, 10s, 12s, and 14s. Under 7s coach Brent Gerber managed to give all 20 players who turned up for the contest a good run in the three 10 minute periods, this in itself a feat on its own. The under 7s skill level and organisation on the eld is improving with every game, a tribute to Brent and his training helpers. The 8s continue to play well, with special mention going to Will Alexander for his great improvement both in defence and attack and also to Quinne Carolan for opening her try scoring for the year with a trifecta. The under 10s and 12s followed up their strong games from a fortnight ago in Ilfracombe with similar performances. With the under 12s being a few players short, AJ Hauff, Wilson Sprague, Peter Blucher and Andrew Davison put in a great effort and played both games. The under 14s rounded off the day with the bare minimum of 13 taking to the paddock. A few lapses in concentration along with a lack of match tness early in the season saw them go down to a strong Barcaldine side 24-18. All in all it was a great day for the Magpies, enjoyed by players and supporters alike. Parents made a special effort to get children to the game during the school holidays. The next game will be the weekend of April 26 against Longreach in Blackall. It is hoped to see all Magpie supporters at the game.

This is my rst From the Mayors Desk column for the Barcoo Independent. I rmly believe that communication will be of paramount importance as the BlackallTambo Regional Council gets under way. On March 27 I attended the Premiers Summit of newly elected mayors in Brisbane, where personal integrity, accountability and transparency as well as responsibility were high on the list of priorities. Our very rst council meeting was of a statutory nature but nonetheless historical, where the councillors were inducted in the presence of their family and friends. I owe an apology to the many members as well as their families and friends, of the Blackall Swimming Club as I endeavoured to make sure that a message of congratulations to all those swimmers who have participated throughout the season was ready to be read on their Award Night. I believe it must be out there in cyberspace as I write this. It was a pleasant surprise to call in on the SpeakOut team as they held their various workshops over the past week. While the uptake rate was fewer than it could be I am sure the participants would have beneted greatly from the one-on-one tuition available. No doubt there will be far more students taking advantage of this unique opportunity in the future. It is great to see the main street centre lawns looking so well manicured and so green, a tribute to the efforts of the Blackall gardening team. Our next general council meeting will be held in Tambo on the 23rd of April.

In taking a lighthearted approach to design, Matts work has contained unusual materials such as Velcro hair rollers or electrical wires from discarded household appliances.

Lorna Evans is taking names for the quilting workshop. All workshop fees have been set at $25 a day and there will be additional costs for materials used. Classes have limits on the number of people that can attend so organisers recommend booking early to ensure a place.
