I
was surprised and delighted to be a
co-award recipient of the inaugural
Dunoon International Women’s
Day Woman of the Year Award for
Community and Communication.
My thanks to the club and to all the
organisers of the event and to the person
that nominated me.
There are so many potential worthy
recipients that it is sometimes hard to
accept such an award without feeling
that there are others more worthy.
Despite that, it does inspire me to keep
going with working on the Gazette, but
I could not do it without the help of all
our contributors, and most importantly
for me right now, the assistance of Jenny Dowell (former Lismore Mayor), Bronwen Campbell

schedule with both interstate and
international travel in the last month, I have had trouble completing
the Gazette, particularly with my small travel computer. It is with
great relief that I can pass the draft over to Mez for her to do the
finishing touches.
As I write this, I have only an hour left before I have to check out
of my hotel and abandon my computer for a couple of weeks while
I don walking boots and a pack to attempt the Costa Brava walk in
Spain. Will let you know next edition how far we make it on this

I am sure that I will enjoy the next couple of weeks immersing
myself in Spanish culture and language. However, whenever I Judges for the inaugural Dunoon

The tennis courts are a community asset that are currently

re-establishment of a Tennis Sub Club to champion the
implementation of works on the courts and subsequently
re-establish a Dunoon Tennis Club. With the reinvigoration
of several tennis clubs in the area this will become a
great opportunity as both a social and/or competitive
