The week before our last Team

Yarding & Two Handed Cutting

event at Tallangatta we heard the

disturbing story about a former

Tallangatta resident – Kellie

George. - & the fund raising

activities planned that weekend by

the Tallangatta Hotel.

On the 20th May 2015 Kellie

George a 37yo Mum went to

Melbourne to have some medical

tests done. Unfortunately while she

was there Kellie suffered a stroke

leaving her paralysed on one side.

Kellie is married with a young

daughter. As it happens Kellie is a

niece of John & Lorraine Boyd of

the Boiling Billy – who often

provide catering for our UMHA

events.

To help Kellie & her family during

this difficult time a number of fund

raising activities were being held in

Tallangatta the weekend of our

event .

In keeping with our history of

supporting charitable causes we

decided to support the activities in

Tallangatta with our own fund

raising. With the generosity of our

members we pulled together $250

which was added to the $4,000

raised from the other weekends

activities. Money which can help

make a difference for Kellie & her

family. Thanks to everyone for your

support.

The weekend of Cutting and Team Yarding at

Tallangatta was once again another successful weekend

run by the club.

It is a shame that we can no longer use the Wodonga

Indoor arena due to the cost increase by both the

Wodonga Racing Club and the Wodonga Show society.

Also the reduced camping area would not have fitted us

all in.

A big thank you the following people who without your

help this event would not happen.

Tim White for all the ringing around, helping draft

up and organising the cattle for Saturday

Linda Mar for the loan of the cattle for Saturday

John Bell and Andrew & Amanda Kettlewell for all

your help

Reece Murray and Steve Franks for carting the

cattle all weekend

John and Lorraine from the Boiling Billy for their

great food and drinks once again

Macca McCrimmon for organising the cutting

judge

Bruce Campbell for judging the cutting

Judi Koska for pencilling for the judge

Penny Wallace for her PA work

Penny, Faye and Jo for the scoring and time

keeping for the team yarding

We had a fantastic turn out for our Working Bee on the 8 August at the Tallangatta Grounds, with the numbers topping 16. With so many helping hands the job list was shrinking before our eyes. The great weather certainly made it a pleasure to be outside.

Gary Matheson was on hand to put power and lights to the bottom toilet block. It seems he even picked up a new apprentice, or maybe it was a case of he couldn’t shake him??; either way, well done Mitchell. Thanks to Brett Thomas, from Batkat Rural Services and his trusty Kanga, it certainly made very short work of the trenching job.

Pud and the Fergie, the wonder tractor, worked up the ground and it was looking a real treat. Then the boys were able to rearrange the panels ready for the Encouragement school at the end of August. Sven, Denis and Ethan worked on the supports for the colour-bond wall, which will permanently replace the Geo-fabric wall along the

side of the yards.

Dom had delivered 20t of sand, and although that sounds a lot, it didn’t take long to be distributed in the camp. Huge thanks to Shaun Walsh for lending us his nifty little Cat Posi-track, with Garry Gordon from National Industrial Training Centre at Barnawartha (Dave’s experienced mate) on board it made short work of the camp, yards and marshalling area jobs.

It’s always the problem when writing these stories that you miss someone, there is no doubt many hands made light work and every single person who was there contributed to the final fantastic outcome. Great to see some new faces, like Steve from Porepunka.

So looking forward to the next working bee, which is planned for September, if I see you there I might even chuck a snag on the barbie for you!

The Eldorado Trail Ride was attended by 10 keen

riders braving the frosty chilly nights at the Eldorado

reserve which were luckily kept warm by a very

creative fire!. The Saturday ride took in some lovely

tracks, thorough the bush and up onto the

spectacular look out over looking the town and

surrounds of Eldorado. Once back down on the lower

part we stopped for a sausage sizzle and a cuppa

accompanied by a very much liked chocolate cake

provided by Viann. Sunday mornings ride went for

two hours along the Reedy Creek which everyone

enjoyed.

Thank you for all who turned up to enjoy Eldorado.

UMHA requires that all helmets meet AS 3838 – 1998

Tips for fitting a helmet correctly

The helmet should fit firmly and cup your entire skull with no pressure points

The front of the helmet should sit one finger width above your eyebrows.

When rocking your head the helmet should sit firmly with no excess rocking motions

The chin strap should be securely fastened and fit comfortably under your chin

with no more space than two fingers width.

If deciding between two sizes always pick the closer fit.

It is recommended you replace your helmet after any fall where your head hits the ground, even if there is no visible damage. UMHA requires that all helmets meet AS 3838 – 1998
