Back to the usual grind.

What a fabulous Youth Week!! The movie night on Friday night was FAB! fancy being paid to watch a movie and eat some pizza. I have the dream job. I love X-Men.
Back to the usual grind this week, for all of us. We are having a bit of a think about the next Finally It's Friday and what would be a good thing to do. Any ideas? We are always looking for more ideas, both practical and impractical. After all, we need to have something to say NO to.

Have you been keeping an eye on the Netball? My team, Melbourne Vixens, formerly known as the Phoenix, had a convincing win over the Firebirds over the weekend. Now, while I love the Firebirds, I HAVE to support my Sharelle. Especially when I begged her parents to take me in, you know, old age adoption!
She looks fierce in this photo and that is exactly how she plays. FIERCE!!
Keep an eye on the competition as the Melbourne Vixens are, naturally enough, the DREAM TEAM. If only Sharelle had believed me when I told her at the World Cup that I can shoot too. Though Caitlin Thwaites is taller, younger, SO WHAT? Okay, that will do for my self advertisement. Go Sharelle.

Youth Week 2008

Youht Week kicked off last Saturday with a cartooning workshop at Gordon White Library and what wonderful artists we have in Mackay. Heaps of fun was had by all and if you missed it I'll bet that you are kicking yourself right about now. It isn't too late to get in on the action though. We have a movie night for 12 - 18 year olds on Friday night. X-Men, pizza, soft drink and a movie, what an excellent way to spend a Friday night. We also have activites for 6 - 12 year olds this week at 3 of our branches. You can come on along and make your very own Superhero costume. If you want to check out some cool competitions you can log onto the Youth Week website and peruse the possible fun stuff http://www.generate.qld.gov.au/
Other news? The trans Tasman Trophy kicked off on the weekend with the Firebirds posting a narrow win. The games were terrific and it is great to see players from all over the world. We normally only see them at the World Cup or maybe the Commonwealth games. I'm sure that this will improve the netball from all nations and we will have a bit more difficulty in Singapore in 2011. Keep track of all the fun and frolic of netball at http://www.tasmantrophy.com/
