Does Jackie have cancer? The question arose during the week on sight of Jackie with all her hair shaven off. Jackie is one of a number of people who have committed themselves to the raising of funds during November for the Movember Foundation which is the only charity tackling men’s health on a global scale, year round. They have one goal: to stop men dying too young. All donation’s help fund world class programs that are saving and improving the lives of men. Jackie said: “Together we can change the face of men’s health”.

The Movember Foundation is authorised by the Australian Tax Office as a deductible gift recipient & tax-exempt health promotion charity.

If you would like to sponsor Jackie for a small amount then click on the ‘Movember Web Site‘   type in Jackie Gallagher in the search area > then GIVE, its that simple.

Mollymook Golf Club runner away winner: The golf club was a buzz! Big John completed 18 holes without swearing or doing his nana. John scored 45 points in the weekly club stapleford round.   To explain this amazing score: Regardless of your handicap, 36 points on a par 72 course is equal to your handicap. Therefore the difference over or under 36 points is the difference over or under your actual handicap. John’s amazing round of golf was 9 under his handicap.

Local Mollymook Ladies Champion Boat Crew: The unexpected happened, punters did their money, our ladies were rowing exceptionally well in the choppy conditions and then a whale appears.

“They were distracted” is a mild way in which one punter explained the dilemma. The ‘punter’ went on to explain that our ladies have this connection with the ocean. When whales or dolphins appear they stop rowing to make sure they are OK and not tangled in one of those Sydney nets or if its plastic they stop and pick it out of the ocean. And today we had a closely contested race, and the appearance of the whale was just an unfortunate coincidence!

Local punter expresses his loss of potential winnings by filling up on hamburgers. (The beer probably came later)

Earlier in the week a whale swam under the ladies boat when training at the harbour.

Simone takes a ‘selfie’ and Moni explained that it was exciting yet nerve racking watching this giant whale swim directly under their boat.
