Not to be out done by the girls, Bobby White chose the 42 km (full) marathon. This event attracted over 3,000 competitors. His chosen charity was ‘Diabetes NSW’. Colleges at the local Milton Ulladulla Rotary Club each promised a $1 for every minute Bob could complete the marathon in under 4 hours 45 minutes.

Springtime in Mollymook

Springtime arrives in Mollymook

Hey Allie and Bruce, take note of our glorious Mollymook weather. (We won’t tell you what last week was like)

Glorious sunshine in Australia greets Valarie and the girls for their return from doing it tough for 5 weeks in the USA and Hawaii.

Much has been happening, surf board riding, swimming, watching, tea bagging, photo shoots for the up coming Mollymook swimmers book “A Moment in Time”, and may I add so many are requesting a better photo of themselves, you would think the pics were for an issue of Vogue Magazine. Enjoy!

Young ‘Carer’ locates elderly swimmer in convalescent park!

Email

“Ken, Where have you been? Are you OK? Missing you at the beach”. ‘Carer’

From the Crescent Heads Convalescent Park

This was a lovely message to receive. To think someone was thinking of me up here among the unemployed, elderly and grey nomads.

Neighbours

We arrived last Monday. On Tuesday an elderly couple arrived and set up camp next us. Asked me about my BK surf board. Went on to introduce themselves, Bob and Chris Kirby from Burrill Lakes. Come Thursday a couple set up camp on the other side of us and it was Terry and Bev Conran from Burrill Lakes. Later I met the people opposite us, they were from Broulee and were heading home to attend a surf comp at Mollymook’s Golf Course Reef on the Saturday. (Small world)

Toby

He went missing during the night and after spending much time out searching for him, once found he spent the rest of his holiday in detention.

Anne- Marie was on the spot to capture this very unusual photograph emerging from the sea, a mystery man. Was it a plane? Was it a bird? Looking a little worried after realizing there were no phone booths nearby, he just stood there in front of us all and brazenly donned his cloak. There was no mistaking, ”It was Superman”!!

Feedback:

“Oh no, I missed that! Is this a challenge for the other male members to turn up in their superhero outfits? I believe Cheryl is already sporting her Wonder Woman outfit”. Louise M.

Graeme’s birthday revisited

 

Mollymook Ocean swimmers,Mollymook,Milton,Ulladulla,swimmers,beach

Swimmers night out at the Pool Bar.

 

Graeme’s Birthday REVISITED!

Roving correspondent; Roscoe files this report:  After a great day at Ceto’s last week Helen requested “can we do it again with Ross & Jo and anyone else that wants to catch up” The Harvest Bar was suggested but the “carers” were going there with their work colleagues from their other job, so as not to embarrass them Bannister’ s Pool Bar was the call. Graham and Debbie were invited to make up for the big birthday event that he didn’t attend, so the evening started off with a rousing rendition of Happy Birthday to Graham and it was all downhill from there!
.
Although the principal carers were not in attendance there were sufficient deputies to ensure an almost one on one ratio! NSW Health take note. And were they needed, almost immediately the seniors started to wander off from the enclosure, (private room), and proceeded to jump around the place in the belief that they were dancing to the music. The carers soon joined in on the dance floor and kept a watchful eye on their charges in case of any falls or injuries. A couple of noted performances were Jacqui “maracas” and dancing Dougie although some believe he was only trying to get to the bathroom!
.
The only down side to the night was the Birthday boy thinking we had bought him there as a present, he not only ordered extra takeaway but shot through without paying! Ulladulla police have been notified and are investigating.
.
All in all a great night was had by all, John Louth was last seen sneaking out for a “toke “ with some stranger who gate crashed the party.

Mollymook Swimmer recommended for Bravery Award

Mollymook Ocean Swimmer

Recommended for Bravery Award

St Marys firefighter Phil Holdsworth got a call of devastating bush fires sweeping through the Blue Mountains last October.

Arriving on the scene, Phil and fellow officer Tony Gutteridge found a community of 54 men, women and children with their pets trapped by the fire with only one road in and one road out of the smoke ravaged area.

Some 12 homes were lost that day, but all lives were saved due to the quick thinking of the Ocean swimmer and fellow firefighter.

Driving straight through the fire line, small fire fronts and fallen trees, the team risked their lives to save the trapped residents and have been nominated for “Outstanding Bravery Medals”.

They commented that it had been one of the toughest days of their lives on duty. 

The Mollymook Ocean Swimmers commend Phil for his bravery, and hope he and his family are able to make it to Lake Tabourie soon for a break and freshen up at Mollymook in present 15 degree ocean temperature.

Baby Naming Ceremony

Mollymook Milton Ulladulla

 

Karen Vaughan celebrant

I am very passionate about what I do and I look forward to every baby naming ceremony, like it is my first. I reside in beautiful Mollymook on the NSW South Coast and am fortunate enough to be a full time celebrant, which allows me to be very generous with my time. The baby naming ceremony sets the vibe for the whole day. A ceremony that becomes a memorable occasion for the whole family.
