Special Announcement:
HELP NEEDED:
In order to make sure Bold and Beautiful remains the FREE, wonderful, inclusive activity that it currently is for everyone, everyday, we need to have one or two fundraising events each year.
On Tuesday 6th May we will be having our main fundraising event for this year, which will be a Trivia Night at the Steyne Hotel, with our very own quizmaster, John Kelly.
To make this event a huge success, we need donations of items that we can use as team prizes, auction items or raffle prizes. Any goods or services will be most gratefully received, and the funds raised will go towards the running costs for ourgreat swim squad. This year we will be joined by the Royal Far West who will be assisting in fundraising for the event, and will receive part of the funds raised on the night. Please contact Ian (0142 331530 or ugoboyo@gmail.com ) if you are able to donate something of value.

Inside the Tardis IV
The Doctor (Shane) : "You call that flying the TARDIS? Jack (my puppy) could have done better [scoffs] Ha!"
The Doctor Shane (47 yrs old): "Welcome aboard the Tardis IV"
Simon: "Okay, I've mapped the probability vectors, done a foldback on the temporal isometry, charted the ship to its destination......"
The Doctor Shane: "You parked us in the middle of Cabbage Tree Bay?!!##** But at least MSB approve of the Tardis IV being moored here.
Simon: "Doctor Shane, what of your time travels"
The Doctor Shane: "The Tardis (steel hull) was built in Sydney in the 1970s. I bought her on the Whitsundays about 5 years ago.I'm back in Sydney to take my 8 yr old daughter to the Zoo. I was able to use my dingy to help MBS remove the seal carcass before your swim a few days ago". "I plan to head north as soon as the nor' easter arrives".
The Doctor: "The Tardis, when working properly, is capable of many amazing things, not unlike myself. One of it's functions is that it can change shape to blend in perfectly into it's surrounding environment".
The Doctor Shane: "I hear the Pink capped hoards echoing through the hull as soon as they come around the point, quite a racket. They even swim in the DARK".
