Relay for Life - Bayley Beaumont
/I’m participating in the RFL 2012.
Relay For Life is an overnight, community event where teams of up to 15 people keep a baton moving in a relay-style walk over 18 hours to raise funds for the Cancer Council.
Every dollar raised through Relay For Life helps the Cancer Council to:
• Investigate new ways to prevent, detect and treat cancers. $12 million is invested in research each year.
• Educate people in your community about ways they can reduce their cancer risk.
• Advocate for cancer control.
• Support people during their times of greatest need through financial assistance and free accommodation near treatment facilities in Rockhampton, Townsville, Cairns, Toowoomba and Brisbane.

Club Patron Autobiography – Mr Michael Groom
/Our Club Patron Mr. Michael Groom has previously published a book entitled the “Life and Climbs of Michael Groom”
This book reflects on his lifetime of climbing the world’s highest mountains including his courageous ascents of Mt Everest, both with and without the use of bottled oxygen. Making this story more amazing is his ascent of Mt Everest after losing all his toes on both feet to frostbite and being told he would never walk again. I can’t over state how inspirational both he and this book truly are. His inspiration and motivation are truly amazing, and we are extremely fortunate to have him as our club patron.
The books are available through your instructors for $30 and are personally autographed. This book would make a fantastic Xmas present.

Security & Crowd Controller Courses and Licences
/New Club Initiative available now
Security & Crowd Controller Courses and Licences
From 1 February 2011, members of this club will be able to gain the above accreditation/ licences at heavily discounted prices which are exclusive only to our club members.
Courses available are Certificates 2 and 3.
Upon your completion of the Certificate 2 course you will have the option to take up a cadetship in Certificate 3 via this recognised training office (RTO).
Once you have completed either of these courses you will be given the opportunity for either part time or full time employment. Our club recently worked at the U2 and Bon Jovi concerts under this arrangement.
We currently train security personnel via the Hapkido School in which we have a number of our members currently performing either full time or part time employment in this area.
I have secured the services of a long term acquaintance that will professionally train and mentor our members seeking the above credentials.
There is plenty of work currently available for our club members via this arrangement.
This is not a “bouncer “course nor am I encouraging this type of activity from members.
The type of work on offer does not jeopardise the club image:-
Parties, Entertainment events at Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane Entertainment Centre, Big Day out etc.
Corporate functions., NRL (Broncos Games) etc.
More information will be available mid January but should you have an interest in either obtaining a new licence or upgrading existing licences please email me direct by 20 January.
The first course Certificate 2 will be conducted in February.
You just be 18 years of age.
