Hard Wired for Living

Hard Wired for Living Glen Innes Severn Council 2012

This is a response to the oft quoted “There’s nothing for young people to

do in Glen Innes”! Participation in activities, groups, sport, challenges

and just having fun are all part of getting the best out of life. We are

hard-wired as social beings and need to engage with our communities

and start living!

As it shows, there are actually quite a lot of things to do and ways to be

involved! There are probably a lot more than are actually described

here and we welcome information about other activities, clubs, or

hobbies that you know of. We will update the information at least twice a

year.

Every effort has been made to ensure the information in this booklet is

accurate.

However, if there are mistakes,gaps, or you know of more activities

please contact Robyn Condon on 6730 2300 or

[email protected] . Alternatively, you can contact Shannon

O’Brien, Glen Innes Severn Council Youth Worker on 0447 914 000 or

[email protected] .

For further information regarding sports grounds and sports not listed,

please contact the Manager for Recreation, Graham Archibald on

0408 448 256.

Remember! This isn‟t a dress rehearsal for living! This is

the real thing!
