Hello again

Welcome to another edition of the SLF. This weekend was no-mans-land as we see the break between winter sport and summer sports. I am very much looking forward to the cricket season to see what Gary “Larry” Cameron and his MCC troop can deliver in season 09/10. I also wonder what is happening with the tennis, haven’t heard much about that.

 

Muddy not running but Avon is…

Marnoo and district most important waterway the Muddy Waterholes creek failed to run (or I haven’t heard otherwise) but just a few k’s to the North the Avon River is flowing at a reasonable rate. Lets hope for some good rains this week which will ensure district crops go well above average.

 

Inspector Cameron

I wrote how Gary “Larry” Cameron dressed in a policeman’s uniform last week. Well another story came across my desk and it was when Larry arrived at the Banyena event, he walked into the hall much to the surprise of the Banyena natives, he then did a lap and just before he walked out he went into wild dance much to the laughter of the Banyena faithful.

 

Breakfast fit for a king

Whilst on our Corporate Cup trip I took my Yarrawonga mates to the Marnoo Café for a spot of breakfast and boy were they impressed.  Nothing better after a big night is a feed of eggs, bacon, sausages, tomato, hashbrown, mushies and Baked Beans. Can’t forget the baked beans. Boy that got the day off to a good start as the lads decided to call it “seven’s Sunday”. This mean’t that every pub we stopped at we could only drink seven’s. Well it worked!!!!!

 

Sales a hit

The Marnoo rams sale went off as expected, in what was a healthy week for vendors. The Highlight would have to be the Wallaloo Park sale in which one ram made $32,000. I’m not sure whether that is record for the Marnoo Auctions but it’s a great way to kick off your sale. Praise again must go to the Navy Blues Supporter Group for there efforts catering for the large crowds that attended.

 

The pest form the West turns fifty

I was at the Glendemar Sale when I heard a group of people belting out happy birthday in the confines of the shearing shed. Well, I found out later it was directed at Mark “The Pest” Raggatt who turned the ripe old age of 50 years. I still remember “The Pest” running out of the centre in the Marnoo seconds with a long kick that hit the fast leading Colin “Cods” Whiting on the chest. Yes and you guessed it, Goaaaaaaaal………

 

That’s all for this week
