international stardom does not stop kind gestures
ClubNEWS Issue 435 • October 2013 www.twintowns.com.au INTERNATIONAL STARDOM DOES NOT STOP KIND GESTURES, WELCOME HOME TOMMY MEMPHIS Tommy Memphis has spent the past 6 months entertaining the Spanish, and all those tourists, on the famous party island of Ibiza. His family have been enjoying a different way of life while he did what he does best; make everyone who is fortunate enough to enjoy his talents feel good. Tommy flies into Australia on Tuesday 29 October and his first show will be at Twin Towns on Wednesday 30 October. His show time in Breezes Live 4pm to 7pm Qld will be as popular as ever and we suggest you come early to secure your seat, and spot on the dance floor. Tommy may well have a new move to teach us after his time in Espanole! In addition to his talents as a rock and roll performer, Tommy is always keen to give back to the community. He is doing this in a big way by donating his time on Sunday 3 November to support our annual Special Children’s Day. Let us provide some background – Every year Twin Towns Community Foundation hosts a family fun day for all those children who have special needs - all the local support groups are invited to attend this function in the Showroom. What makes it unique is that it is the one opportunity when the families and the children are able to relax and let their inner self run rampant in a controlled environment. There is something for everyone - fun food, balloonery, face painting and tailored entertainment. Tommy is a keen supporter of the family environment and will be entertaining the children, parents and grandparents with a lot of fun singing, dancing and interaction. Welcome Tommy back to Twin Towns and thank him for his ongoing support of our community. There is no greater example of a person who lets his inner self run rampant every time he appears simply to make everybody feel special, every day. Champion. TWO GREAT TRIBUTES STAYING ALIVE AT TWIN TOWNS It’s time to lace up your platform shoes, don those wide lapels and get your harmonies in tune, as we are reliving the memories of the Bee Gees on Saturday 5 October. The very best of the Bee Gees show is a complete discography of all their finest songs, presented in a historical journey from 1967 to 1999. This fabulous production, will take you from the beginning with songs such as “New York Mining Disaster” and “Massachusetts”, right through the disco period of “Staying Alive” and “Saturday Night Fever”, culminating with their current hit “Alone”. This month also features the Killer Queen show on Friday 11 October. Imagine a performance that features the musical legacy, energy and iconic performances of the English super group Queen. Johnny Blunt bears an uncanny resemblance to Freddie Mercury, and the moment he sets foot on stage, Freddie’s very essence is alive again. The Killer Queen show has been nominated for the Best Tribute Show in the South East Queensland Entertainment Awards, appeared on Channel 9 and recently on Australia’s Got Talent. This show is the closest you will ever get to see the super group Queen. Come and hear all the greatest hits including ‘Crazy Little Thing Called love’, ‘We Will Rock You’, We Are The Champions’, ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’, plus a whole lot more! Tickets $25.

Ph: +61 7 5536 2277 • www.twintowns.com.au Club News, October 2013 Twin Towns Clubs & Resorts 1 BoardChairman’sReport assist Twin Towns Board members reduce numbers to a maximum of nine Directors by July 1st 2016 in accordance with recent amendments to the Registered Clubs Act and thus easing the burden for reduction on his fellow Directors. RON LEWIS’S RETIREMENT LEAVES A MEMORABLE LEGACY Mr. R. W. (Ron) Lewis tendered his resignation to the Board of Management at the August Board meeting which was accepted with much regret by fellow Directors. On behalf of the Board of Management of Twin Towns Clubs and Resort, our management team and staff, I wish Ron and his wife Joan a healthy life and a wonderful retirement. Both Ron and Joan have certainly earned a relaxing future together. AN ABBOTT COALITION GREAT FOR CLUBS Ron joined Twin Towns Services Club in May 1985, was elected to the Board of Management in March 1994 where his dedication and service for members, Twin Towns and especially Club Banora and the community continued uninterrupted until August 2013. Ron served on a myriad of committees with extremely high principles and passion for each portfolio setting the bar especially high with a challenge for others who follow to emulate. Ron was granted Life Membership by members in 2012 for his amazing commitment and work ethic for members and community. Without a Labor/Greens minority Government encompassing Independents dictating terms the Coalition win in Federal politics is a breath of fresh air for the not for profit community club industry. The final Senate make up may be a distraction of sorts however the policy taken to the electorate by the coalition basically dismantling the “National Gaming Reform Bill’ and handing responsibility in the most part back to the states where it belongs will allow confidence back in the club and hotel sector guaranteeing employment and growth in a myriad of associated areas. Ron’s work for the community made a profound difference to the lives of many Tweed Heads residents and he was instrumental in establishing the Twin Towns Services Community Foundation responsible for donating much needed funding for many a charity. Ron of course took his responsibility much further than expected and his service above self and passionate belief in serving others was way above the standard call of duty with his representation on behalf of Twin Towns on the Community Development Support Expenditure Scheme immeasurable. Labor granted Club Gaming licences sixty years ago only to allow clubs to be the sacrificial lambs to win Independent and Green’s support for six years of disastrously expensive policy making. Recently Ron was awarded a very unique citation from ClubsNSW as a “Heart of the Community 2013 Ambassador” for his Clubs and Community work. During his early years at the Club Ron worked tirelessly to ensure the success of the Club Banora Golf Course and unselfishly put aside many hours to establish the management framework for this very successful Banora Golf Club. Ron of course understood his corporate governance responsibilities more than most and, as a man of principle, chose to stand down to 2 “Leave our clubs alone” for the massive contribution they make to regional and metropolitan areas of NSW is certainly appreciated by the Abbott led coalition government as it is for our members. THE HIDDEN COST OF DOING BUSINESS The Board of Management of Twin Towns Clubs and Resort have always acknowledged their responsibility in acting as caretakers for all members’ assets including, best practice as a not for profit community club, of supporting local community charitable organisations especially Junior Sport as our charter requires. One of the most important strategic principals is for Directors to maintain all members’ facilities and to reinvent and reinvest in the business model for the long term viability of this great Club. Over the years there have been many letters and many comments made to Club News, October 2013 Twin Towns Clubs & Resorts Board members about catering cost increases, beverage cost increases and removal of some long standing member bonus benefits which are due to more regulation, basic cost increases, repairs and maintenance etc. However after much deliberation at Board level decisions are never made lightly and always with the best interests of the Club and members a priority. MEMBERS BUS SERVICE Surfside Bus Service fee increase = 10% (The Board are currently questioning the viability and alternatives of this little used service). Extrapolate use per head Vs total cost remembering membership is 42,000 $600,000 annually. At our Strategic Planning weekend recently a graphic picture was provided to the Board of Management of the extreme cost of repairs and maintenance to all three clubs and Resort Hotel and how profoundly important it is to maintain profit margins to be in a financial position to repair, maintain and replace aging facilities as and when required to keep up the quality product members expect. You will note there is no funding provision for continued renovations to the Club Banora Golf Course other than those renovations planned nor to the Bowls Greens at this time due to a plethora of issues none the least of which is the current development application before the Local Government Authority for the totally revitalised new club “footprint” involving the Banora site. I considered it appropriate to show members the somewhat hidden costs of running Twin Towns Clubs and Resort providing a list of expenditure required to maintain numerous facilities at this time. I point out that these costs prescribed are consultant recommendations with some still to be finetuned, while others that are not urgent may be deferred to a later date subject to Board scrutiny and acceptance. The following list shows the estimated costs involved for the preservation of member’s facilities: TWIN TOWNS Air conditioning, heating, mechanical repairs and replacement $290,000 TWIN TOWNS OUTRIGGER RESORT HOTEL. Balcony repairs, water proofing, tiling repair, painting (10 yr warranty) $855,400 BANORA Air conditioning, heating, mechanical $904,000 CB proportion of Tri Generation System (balance Govt Grant) $580,000 Total $5,222,400 I hope members appreciate the “hidden costs” of doing business and the profound necessity to maintain profit margins to provide the ultimate members facilities in a Club you can be especially proud of. FOOTPRINT MARKET RESEARCH FOR CLUB BANORA. Following the KPMG modelling carried out and provided to members some eight years ago with the aid of statistics realised from a member only survey by Footprint Market Research the Board have chosen to engage their company services once more to better understand the broader community demographic and associated club requirement to provide an overview to allow the board to put together a future strategic direction that better fits the wider community for a “New Club Banora”. This new research will be much broader than previous studies covering a greater regional area, encompassing members as well as non members, looking into the future long term sporting facility viability as well as taking into account the community club responsibility aspect of Twin Towns Clubs and Resort. OASIS POOLS Wading Pool repairs and maintenance, expansion joint seals, pipe-work replacement, concourse re-build, plant and equipment $1,838,000 The success of Twin Towns over the last 56 years has been achieved from the careful long term planning and economic management derived from research such as this to set a future viable strategy in the best interests of members and our community. TENNIS Tennis Court replacement programme $40,000 We certainly look forward to research outcomes early in the new year. JUNIORS Air-conditioning $35,000 Lifts $80,000 Good health and I look forward to catching up around our clubs. Michael Fraser Ph: +61 7 5536 2277 • www.twintowns.com.au OctoberUpdate A SMOOTH ROCK, SOUL & MOTOWN KIND OF WEEKEND! We first showcased the amazing talents of Lisa Hunt and her band at Club Banora on Friday 2 November 2012. The venue was filled with an enthusiastic audience who enjoyed Lisa’s uplifting music and entertainment style. If you are able to come along to Twin Towns during the end of October to see Lisa Hunt and her band Forever Soul, you won’t be able to keep yourself off the dance floor. And try to stop yourself singing every song at the top of your voice! Lisa Hunt can best be described as a ‘feel good’ entertainer who will put a smile on your face which you won’t be able to erase for a very long time. Lisa has had songs on numerous compilations around the globe, both as singer and songwriter and has sold more than a million records. She began singing in that great African American tradition, the gospel church, which laid the foundation of her soulful singing style. She has shared the stage with musical greats such as Eric Clapton, James Brown, Dionne Warwick, Brian May, Randy Crawford, Joe Cocker, Miles Davis, Andrea Bocelli. In Australia Lisa has toured and recorded with Jimmy Barnes, Diesel, Radio Dreedom, and Johnny (b.good) Johnson. With such an enjoyable entertainment style who appeals to almost everybody you won’t be disappointed with a Lisa Hunt performance. And if you can’t make it this October don’t worry we are bringing her back for a free live performance this New Years Eve in the showroom, it’s going to be huge. See you on the dance floor real soon.

The pairs event below life members is 14 Club News, October 2013 Twin Towns Clubs & Resorts [email protected] Our bi-monthly meetings at Club Banora have been well-attended, and we have voted for a club weekend at Iluka, taking two boats to fish the Clarence. This is proposed for the next Comp/ BBQ weekend 18-20 October. Please confirm ASAP that you will join us, as there are catering and booking arrangements. It’ll be a great weekend on the mighty Clarence that you won’t want to miss!

Text/phone 0468 348171 or 55998171 Bron GARDEN CLUB The Champion Exhibit in Benching for September was a Dendrobium orchid exhibited by Gwen Brown. This orchid will grow epiphytically on rocks and even in swampy ground so it is difficult to generalise about cultivation. Generally they are divided into warm, intermediate, and cool growing. We would need ‘intermediate’ for our local area. The guest speaker was Peter Flanagan from Earth & Colour Nursery and he brought a number of lovely flowering plants to talk about and sell at a discount to members. September 9th the garden competition judging day with some immaculate gardens being presented. A DVD will be available. Next meeting Tuesday 1st October; November meeting changed to Monday November 11th. Time 9.45am in the Tuscany Room. Enq. 5524 5743.

A good swimmer, she’s going to give her old dad a run for his money when it comes to winning points. Members to Perth for the Winter Swimming Titles were: Rob Green, Jack Chapman, Warren & Debbie Scotman, Jim Newton, Toni Cameron & Brian Deane. October sees us back into our summer swimming season. We’d like to have a return of members to the pool in readiness for the FNC zone championships. It is our turn to host this meet which will be held on November 30th at the Oasis pools. We are keen to produce a good event, so would like to see a good turnout of members, either swimming or helping out in some capacity (or both). Daylight Saving is with us again, so those of you on Queensland time will have to set out earlier in order to race at 8.30 DST. Bubbles MASTERS SWIMMING With the weather improving several of us are getting back to their training programs. It certainly was enjoyable weather for the first Barrier Reef Games held in Cairns last month. All sports were represented and six of us took part in the swimming. Our 90 year old – Alison Worrall – made a great effort to win 6 gold in her six races. Val smith did a great job in the 85 year old age group gaining 2 gold and 3 silver in her 5 races. Del Margetts swam 9 races and won 5 gold and 4 silver in the 80-84 age group. Dihana Poulsen in her 75-79 age group won 2 gold, 3 sliver and 1 bronze. Wendy Corbett was thrilled to win her first ever gold medal as well as 1 silver and 3 bronze in her 5 races in the 60-64 age group. Georgina Smith in her 55-59 age group won 6 gold in her six races. What a great time was had by all and many more are saying they will compete in 2015. The Southside Carnival was held at Chandler as soon as we got back and our “George” at 95 broke another “national” record and gained 5 first places. Barbara was successful with 1 first, 2 seconds and 2 thirds in the 75-79 age group. Robyn in the 70- 74 age group gained 2 first , 1 second and 2 thirds. Congratulations to all swimmers in both carnivals. Masters Swimming is all about fun, friendship and fitness – we all have a great time and “medals” are just a “bonus”. Condolences to Christine Dennis on the loss of her only child Gerry. Christine was a member of our Club for several years so we all feel her loss remembering Gerry as swimming with us on special occasions as a young lad.
