GIRGARRE COMMUNITY NEWS 

Jigarre Jammin’ April 2023 Camp Report 

MUSICAL ENTHUSIASM - AND A WARM CAMP-FIRE SUCCESS FOR JIGARRE JAMMIN’S CAMP. 

Plenty of music, enthusiasm and a 

warm camp-fire made for another 

huge and fun-filled Jigarre Jammin’ 

camp weekend in April. So much 

good music and camaraderie flowed 

around the park behind the Girgarre 

hall from Tuesday on. Thirty-four 

tents and vans of all shapes and sizes 

and fifty-six people built a mini, 

Jigarre Jammin’ town in no time at 

all. Some were musicians, some 

happy to just be! 

There were so many generous 

contributions of joy, companionship 

and music. It was heart-warming to 

be part of it. A huge thanks to Greg 

Fitzpatrick for building the oh-so 

popular fire pit. It became the hub for the campers each evening, creating a lovely, musical family atmosphere. It 

was one of the many highlights of the weekend. 

Some visitors were from Qld, and others were travelling through 

and insisted on paying fees so they could join in the action. The program 

began with a relaxed, open mic on Friday afternoon and another in the 

evening...one of our best Friday night walk ups to date. The musicians 

stepping up are becoming more confident and proficient each camp 

weekend. 

The ‘Five Minutes of Fame’ bands were as popular as ever. Names 

are thrown into the hat, then 

randomly sorted into groups of 

4 or 5. The groups find a corner 

and rehearse a song which is 

later performed at the Saturday 

evening concert. The quirky 

names each band finds for 

themselves create much mirth, 

along with the sometimes 

serious, but more often, fun 

renditions of popular and novelty 

songs. It was amazing to 

see so much confidence, 

inclusiveness and laughter in 

each of the groups.

Co-ordinator’s Catch-up 

Greetings all, 

I hope this finds you healthy and happy. The Autumn weather has been wonderful and 

winter planting in the community garden is well underway. 

Our trip to Nagambie was a wonderful day out. Much fun and laughter was had on the bus 

and the weather could not have been more perfect. A bevvy or two may have been consumed 

and the food was lovely at the Nagambie Rowing Club Bistro. Much thanks to the 

Campaspe Shire Council for funding the event.

GIRGARRE COMMUNITY NEWS 

The Saturday morning singing workshop 

with Glenda Bancell, a singing 

teacher from Rochester, was a treat. 

Two songs in harmony were perfected 

in an hour and a half, followed by a 

masterful attempt at presenting them 

at the evening concert! A typical Jigarre 

Jam session brought the afternoon to a 

close. 

This year, we welcomed back 

some familiar faces from years past for 

the concert. Bands, including 

Kyvalley’s, ‘Pure Drop’, soloist, Claire 

Roberts from Stanhope and the beautiful 

harmonies of Melbourne group, ‘Stuck in C’ were a pleasure to hear. Lockington’s blues rock band, 

‘The Healers’, soon flushed out a few rockin’ and rollin’ dancers from the crowd to end the evening. 

The local church goers joined the campers for a rousing, old-time gospel singalong on Sunday morning, followed 

by a cuppa. Then, on a whim, it was decided, with very short notice, to provide some music in the Soundshell, 

inviting some of the singers from the camp to perform. Fifty gathered and enjoyed a lazy, Sunday afternoon 

followed by coffee in the cafe. 

Joel and Leon's cafe was an enjoyable addition to the weekend. Breakfasts, coffees, cakes and pizzas were 

in demand, keeping them both busy, and of course, they offer the best service found anywhere. The feedback on 

the weekend’s activities from the visitors and campers was 

whole-hearted 

and genuine. 

It was one of 

our most successful 

camp 

weekends to 

date. Di Burgmann 

and 

Irene Labbett


GIRGARRE TENNIS CLUB 

GIRGARRE RSL SUB BRANCH 

We have wrapped up another fairly successful 

season of tennis. We had good numbers in juniors 

and seniors, and every section was represented 

in the finals series. 

Well done to the section 2 team (pictured) that 

made it through to the Grand Final. Unfortunately 

they lost in a very close game to Ky 

Lawn. 

We look forward to welcoming everyone back 

next season, and welcome any newcomers to 

our club as well.

An Anzac Golf Bowls Tournament with proceeds in aid of Girgarre RSL 

Sub Branch was held at Valley View Golf and Bowls Club with the bowls 

winners originating from the Tatura Bowls Club. Young gun Seth Tziros 

skipped his team of Col Johnson and Ken Cornell and they joyfully took 

home the wonderful prizes from the Girgarre RSL sponsors and 

particularly the generous supply of Fonterra dairy products.

DIAMOND POEMS 

Kyabram Town Hall Writers’ Group enjoyed a fun-time writing exercise recently. A little challenge if your grammar is 

a bit rusty – but not impossible. We did it so you can do it, too. Below are some of our results, followed by some simple instructions 

to compose your own. Diamond (or diamante) poems have acquired their name from the finished shape the words 

make on the page when centred. Why not have a go?

Write your own diamond poem. Instructions: 

1. Diamond poems have seven lines and are centred in their space. 

2. The first and last lines have just one word each which are nouns or naming words 

(e.g. person, place, animal, thing, event, idea) that are somehow connected, e.g., they 

are opposite (night, day), similar but separate (shells, beach), or one leads to the other 

(egg, chicken). 

3. The second and sixth lines have two words, which are adjectives – describing 

words that tell us about the noun next to them (e.g. the colour, size, shape, texture 

or other attribute). 

4. The third and fifth lines have three words which are verbs – action words that tell 

us what the nouns near them (first and last lines) can do (e.g. jump, shine, gobble, 

shriek, smooch, etc.). 

5. The fourth line has four words – nouns again, related to both the top noun and 

the bottom noun, sometimes in transition mode.

LIONS CLUB NEWS 

Local Student Jorja Ponton wins Lions District 201 V6 “Youth of the Year” Public Speaking 

Award. 

Jorja lives at Stanhope and attends Kyabram P12 College and represented the Hope Lions Club Branch at 201 V6 

District Final which was held at the Thurgoona Golf Country Resort on 19 March. 

Previously, Jorja attended Stanhope Primary School and competed in the Lions Junior Public Speaking program in 

Grades 3 & 4 and Grades 5 & 6. 

Jorja was one of 5 contestants in the District Final. Other contestants were from East Loddon, Lockington, Cobram 

and Kiewa/Tangambalanga. Unfortunately, the East Loddon contestant had to withdraw leaving just 4 participants. 

The overall winner was Arielle Dolan who lives in Wharparilla and attends Echuca Secondary College. Arielle represented 

the Lions Club of Lockington. 

The format for the competition is in 2 parts with points available in each Section. The first part consists of a 40 minute 

interview before a panel of 5 judges where they are asked about their school Academic achievements, activities 

& involvement outside school and some general knowledge questions. 

The second part is the Public Speaking Section which consists of a 5 minute speech on a topic of the contestant’s 

choice. There are also 2 impromptu questions to be answered prior to the speech presentation. It is possible that 

the overall winner may win both Sections. Jorja was the best Public Speaker on the day. Her speech was entitled 

“Body Image” which she presented very admirably. 

Arielle competed against 4 other contestants in the State Final held in Wangaratta on Saturday 1 April. 

The Public Speaking Award was won by Noah Cameron who attends Yarra Valley Grammar School representing District 

201 V5 and the Overall winner was Sienna Gladstone who attends Brauer College in Warrnambool representing 

District 201 V2. 

The competition is open to students over the age of 15 and under 19 years of age at the 30 June, in the year of the 

final. Students interested in this competition for 2024, can find information online.

Girgarre Football Netball Club 


Although the scoreboard for our seniors may not have looked particularly 

pretty so far, there are many positives to take. Our first three games have 

been against definite top 6 sides, and with a young side which includes 13 

or more new faces, this year is focused on building towards a more successful 

future. We have a fantastic committed group, which contributes to great 

numbers training each week, followed by fantastic numbers joining in on 

the Thursday night meals, with 120-140 meals served each night, the last 

few weeks. 

Our thirds have recently had an exciting win against Stanhope. We were outnumbered but definitely not outclassed. 

Our young lads are proving they have some real skill and enthusiasm. We are still looking for another few 

boys to join our team. If you are interested or know someone who would be, please contact Brock Peirce 

0407236940. 

Our netball teams are improving every week, with the girls all starting to gel together well. Again, we have lots of 

new faces, so the first few weeks we are seeing lots of work going into working out our systems and combinations. 

Our A grade scored an exciting win against Stanhope a couple of weeks ago, a really important 4 points. Sheree is 

developing this young side, with very exciting times ahead. 

Girgarre junior netball is also very exciting, with our 13&U having had some huge wins already. We also have had 

our second 13&U team start their season in the Shepp Netball Association competition and we wish them luck. 

Keep an eye on the Facebook page for weekly results of all of our football and netball teams.
