Skipton, Vic, 3361
This Week’s Sponsor Mary Bradshaw, Skipton Thank you very much .
Skipton Craft Day The weather was very kind to those who travelled out to Skipton to attend the Skipton Craft Show at the Mechanics Hall.
There were many who came long distances and were very happy when leaving, having had the opportunity to meet with the skilled stall holders who were quite keen to answer the many and varied questions that were asked about how a particular item was made.
With bags bulging with special items of various crafts some lucky people will receive delightful gifts that were purchased at the Craft Show.
Some of the regular Market Stallholders will be back on the 11th of August so don’t worry if you missed this weekend, come along on the eleventh. See you then.
It was very enjoyable to watch the spinning wheel making a fine yarn that will be made into something knitted.
The patchwork quilts were set up on the stage to maximise the display of the colourful patterns and the sewing machine whirring away in the background making unique scarves.
Myra busily worked on her miniature furnishings will be
great to see how it all turns out when finished.
With the stop on “plastic bags” at the
supermarkets, maybe you might like to come
along to future markets to buy a couple of
beautifully made shopping bags to have when
buying groceries in the future.
There were people from Ballarat, Ararat,
Derrinallum, Creswick, locals and even from England.
Well done to all of the members of the organising
committee, the setter-upperers and the cleaner-upperers
and the catering team—all volunteers, well done Val, on
a job well done.
Well done Jan Murphy for all of your work in organising
the Craft Show. So many talented and skilled people all
in one place together with wonderful crafts displayed.
Jan’s task was made a little more difficult with a couple
of the people with planned craft demonstrations being
unavailable to attend on the day. Hard with winter-ills!!
It all went very well and friends enjoyed
catching up with some they hadn’t see for
years. Lots of happy chatter.
The next Skipton Community Market
will be held from 9 am to 1 pm
on Saturday the 11th
of August
There will be something a little different
for visitors in the supper room.
See page 5 for further information.
Mt MONMOT WALK Sadly the weather on Sunday 29th July wasn’t suitable for the planned walk to the craters on Mt Monmot. Strong winds and the rain had made the track slippery and unsafe.
The walk has been rescheduled for Sunday 9th September at 2 pm.
Watch the calendar of events for
details nearer to the date.
The Skipton and District community
is invited to walk on Mt Monmot
on Sunday 9th September, starting
at 2.00pm which will take
approximately 3 hours maximum.

STREATHAM CRAFTGROUP
We have sent 4 bags of “warmies” to the Soup Vans in
Ballarat. Many thanks to all who helped with the scarves,
beanies, mittens and gloves. Every item was a welcome to
those who spend cold nights in Ballarat.
Our last meeting had several apologies. It was a
freezing day, and the power went “off’, so after
lunch we all went home – to find no power
there!
Two members attended the Yule- Cart “Share day” they
reported there was a very good attendance and the two
Speakers were very interesting.
The August Craft is painting; bring your talent ,and a few
rags for wiping the brushes. September Craft is Candlewick .

Shop facelift grants to attract
business APPLICATIONS are open for the 2018-2019 Retail Area
Façade Improvement Program grants to increase the appeal of
businesses across the Shire.
Corangamite Shire will offer grants of up to $3,000, dollar for
dollar, to local businesses and shop owners wanting to
improve the appearance of their shop fronts.
Manager Growth and Engagement Rory Neeson said the
program had received a lot of interest since it began in 2015.
“First impressions count so having a vibrant, inviting shop
front can really help get people through the door of your
business,” Mr. Neeson said.
“By freshening up the shopping strips in our towns, we also
make them attractive places for travelers to stop, rather than
just passing through.
“Encouraging that extra trade is good for the bottom line of
the individual business and has and flow-on benefits for our
small town economies.”
Over the past three years Council has seen over $400,000
invested into more than 70 shop fronts across the Shire.
Grants can be used for:
· Painting the façade
· Cleaning the existing façade
· Removing redundant signage, air conditioning
units and hoardings
· Minor repair, maintenance or reinstatement of
missing elements
· Minor repairs to existing tile or stone accents
· Minor repairs to structural elements and awnings
· Repairs or replacements of verandahs
· Installation of new business signage
· Installation of store lighting visible from the street
Businesses with street frontage in the commercial area of any
of Corangamite Shire’s 12 towns are eligible to apply.
Guidelines and application forms are available at
www.corangamite.vic.gov.au/facade .
Successful applicants will have until 31 May 2019 to
complete proposed works.
Mr. Neeson encouraged interested businesses to contact
Council for help with their application.
"It's important that they discuss their application with Council
before submitting it to make sure they get it right and
maximise their chances of securing funding," he said.
For more information, contact Council on 5593 7100.

Sponsored Winners
It is also a delight to announce that Jennifer Mitton of Dereel
and Kaylene Grigsby of Teesdale are the successful
applicants to be sponsored by our Network to attend the
Victorian Rural Women’s Network Forum to be held in
early August. This should be a great opportunity for
networking, making new friends and contacts and building
the resilience of women across Victoria.
Meet our Network Women
The Network thought it may be interesting to provide some
information about our members so we will commence with
our Secretary Jen Blake.
Jen is a farmer living at Barunah Park. She didn’t listen to her
mother and learnt to drive a tractor and to undertake most
aspects of running the property with husband Kevin. Jen is
passionate about listening to and advocating for the needs of
rural people and wants to see younger women become more
involved in our communities. Jen has a pen friend in India
that she started writing to as a fan of the ABC children’s
hour. She has been able to visit Marina several times over
some sixty years and is planning a visit later this year.
Feel free to join us at our next meeting
We look forward to welcoming you at the next meeting of the
GPRWN is Monday 27 August at the Hesse Centre,
Rokewood at 7.30pm.
Golden Plains Rural Women’s
Network Inc It pleasing to inform readers that the Golden Plains
Rural Women’s Network Inc has decided to keep on
keeping on with some renewed vigour and inspiration.
Lobbying for our Shire
It is pleasing to note that part of the Network’s submission
to the Federal Redistribution was recognised with the
portion of the previous Corangamite Electorate that had
been destined to become Wannon was actually retained
within Corangamite and thus retains its community of
interest with business and education districts. The portion
encompasses Barunah Park, Barunah Plains and Wingeel.
This reflects the course of the Wingeel school bus route
that has for many years taken secondary school children to
Geelong from these localities.
Unfortunately, we were not successful with the remainder
of the submission that focussed on areas closer to Ballarat
and surrounds in the Golden Plains Shire.
Changing Our Game
The Network has been successful in securing a small grant
from the Change Our Game Community Activation Grants
program. Our Network in partnership with Golden Plains
Shire Council, aims to develop and deliver a women’s
leadership program.
This program will consist of a series of workshop sessions
with a focus on building the capacity and confidence of

Has been a tough year for consistency
with C grade this year due to all the injuries and
unfortunately this was evident against Springbank's class.
B grade again put it up to the opposition and until half
time were in the thick of the action. Springbank then
seemed to get their groove a little more settled and took
the win 27 to 47.
It was a good effort against the much higher placed team
with some great efforts by all. Awards went to Hannah
Smyth, Jaymee Crack and Amy Lodge.
Our a grade girls were going to be up against it taking on
last years grand finalists. The polish of all Springbank's
senior teams with fast, strong and long passes made for a
tough match. We had some positive passages and great
areas of play with 3 junior girls all taking to the court.
The final score was 19 to 56 with awards to Ella McLean,
Paige Follett and Annie Elliott.
With just 2 rounds left we take on Creswick at home next
week. Let's hope we can get a few more wins to finish the
season off!
Go Emuettes.

NETBALL
It was a tough day on the netball court for our Skipton girls
when we took on Springbank at home last Saturday.
Our youngest girls remain undefeated as our under 13b girls
again put their best foot forward to take a big win 17 to
3. Great team play with tight pressure on the opposition and
accurate shooting were highlights.
Hannah meek and Lillian Barr received today's awards.
Springbank then seemed to grow significantly is size and
stature as our under 13 a team came up against height in the
goal ring. Tess Bingham and Destiny Frisby tried hard to
receive the awards in the 20 to 32 goal loss.
The under 15 girls seemed to have it even harder and had
trouble creating turnovers and holding onto their own centres
was difficult due to Springbank's ability to intercept.
In the end we went down 14 to 48 with Kate Gowans and
Ceilidh Sheehan deserving the awards.
It was a little closer in the under 17 game with the score line
13 to 31 in a good game to watch. All girls were available
this week and each played a role, giving their all in the fast
paced game.
Awards went to Josie Castles and Sophie Daniela.
Erin Robertson was back again for the injury riddled c grade
side this week and along with ruby Bingham from the under
17s, took the awards in the 16 to 61 goal loss.
