June
Maurie Oates – Footy Tips
Round 13 (unlucky for most!)
This genuinely looked the easiest round to pick 9, but
as usual there were lots of surprises; mainly dogs,
demons and Greater Western Sydney. 10 tips picked
6 winners. Well done President Debra – you were one
of the 10. 13 other tipsters had an average round
with 4 or 5. Amazingly Roslyn didn’t pick the lowest –
she managed 3. The honours this week went to
Heather Green and Rob Swinton. Well done to Shar,
who did very well with 7, missing out on her team the
Pies. The gap is narrowing on the leaderboard.

GUEST SPEAKERS Rahni Buchanan and Matt
O’Dowd from Buchanan Family Chiropractic
Rahni spoke about
treatments in easing back
pain, taking pressure from
the spine and relieving
muscle tension. If any
concerns arise patients are
referred to a G.P.
Matt talked about the use of
Bowen Treatment which is a
holistic remedial body technique that works on the
soft connective tissue of the body. This treatment
originated in Geelong but is now used worldwide.
Bowen therapy can be used to treat musculoskeletal
or related neurological problems including acute
sports injuries and chronic or organic conditions. It is
gentle and relaxing and does not use forceful
manipulation. This makes it safe for people of all ages
from babies to those in their 90s.
THANK YOU!
Debra thanked everyone for their support for the year
and looked forward to seeing those who can make it
next Sunday and if not at Rotary next Tuesday with
new President Graham Snell.
