Our State Team Celebrates Moomba!
Pictured above, our Juniors, Inters and Senior State Team members, enjoying the moment with the King and Queen of
Moomba, (Bert Newton and Lucy Durack) and of course, sharing the limelight was Bert’s lovely wife Pa Newton.
Moomba 2014
We hope you tuned into the live broadcast of the 60th Celebra on,
Diamond Jubilee Moomba Parade on Monday 10th March and caught
a glimpse of members of the Victorian State Senior, Inter and Junior
teams suppor ng the King and Queen of Moomba float.
It turned out to be a glorious day to dance their way down St Kilda
Road to the music of “Spinning Around.” It was fabulous to hear so
many Calisthenic supporters amongst the crowd of many thousands
watching the parade from the street. Most pleasing was to hear the
cheers and exclama ons from the crowd, wowed by the skills shown
by the girls. The girls were thrilled to hear so much applause for them
which helped them to con nue their performance for the length of
the parade. They felt like celebri es as there
were literally banks of photographers along
the route.
Many thanks to the enthusias c performers,
their parents and the lovely chaperones for
their support during this special event. We
would also like to thank the choreographers
Sarah Carthew and Liz Carroll and the Clubs
that provided the 50 costumes for this
event, Canadian Bay, Ceres and Jeaden.

Some comments from 2012 entrants
“We have all gained new friendships and many wonderful memories of this fantas c event.”
“Fabulous compe on, great atmosphere,. amazing choreography and above all great to see the talent of past
pupils on display. Wonderful and happy occasion all round.”
“The 2012 Pan Pac Masters Games may have closed but it has provided so many great memories that will last a
life me. It was a very upli ing and rewarding experience to meet people from around Australia, New Zealand
and other Asian Pacific na ons who share a common passion in sport, community and friendship. It made you
proud to be an Australian”
“Compe ng in a "Masters Games" had always been on my 'bucket list' and when some of the ladies rang me late
last year to let me know of the
calisthenics inclusion in the
games...I couldn't wait to
start! What an incredible experi‐
ence! The whole compe on ran
so smoothly and the camaraderie
between clubs and compe tors
was 'just like in the old
days'......maybe because most of
us were from the 'old days'!!!! It
was just wonderful the way people
helped each other with everything
from helping to pin head gears on,
when a quick change was looming,
to helping with curtains and stage
props!”

Sue and Caroline Smith from Westaire Calisthenics Club have commenced their Recrea onal Class for all abili es.
Following a endance at a spor ng expo for children with special
needs last year and with assistance from the CVI Club Grants
Program, they decided to re start a Recrea onal Class a er a six year
break.
Through the funding received Caroline and Sue were able to produce
flyers to promote the class and were also given a variety of different
equipment to incorporate into the program each week.
Westaire promoted their new class late last year at several special
schools and through the Moonee Valley City Council. There are
currently 7 children par cipa ng with more recent inquiries
received.
Sue and Caroline both agree that it has been an extremely exci ng
me to see the parents and pupils engage in the ac vi es that they
are introducing into their class. The ac vi es are focused around
fine and gross motor skill development and movement to music.
Recrea onal Calisthenics is becoming more and more popular within
clubs as it promotes physical ac vity in a fun and stress free
environment. We encourage more clubs to incorporate recrea onal
classes into their metable by contac ng the office to receive further

Costumes for Sale
As last year drew to a close, two longstanding Calisthenic Clubs decided to close their doors —
Brianna and Joscelle. As their Clubs had been opera ng for more than thirty years, they had
stored quite a quan ty of costumes (sets & individual), shoes, wigs and props. They would like
to clear some of their storage space, so if you would like to view /purchase some of their items please contact
them as soon as you can!
Brianna CC, located in Kilsyth, email Maree at reejeff@hotmail.com or call 0419 359 958.
Joscelle CC, located in Hoppers Crossing, contact Zandra on 9748 0641 or email Joscelle@bigpond.net.auMildura CC has great success with ‘Come’n’Try’ Month Mildura Calisthenics Club had only 46 members last year. As a result of this, it was decided to run a promo on day in prepara on for this year’s Come’n’try month. We set up a booth at our main shopping centre and the response was be er than we could have imagined. Having a bear costume, (which we had used previously in one of our items), we decided to put a club t‐shirt on it and use it as our mascot. We also had colouring‐in books and club logo balloons to hand out on the day. Over the day we handed out over 70 informa on le ers and had numerous parents approach us asking about “what” Calisthenics was all about. As we had our concerts playing via DVD on the day, it helped us show everyone exactly what Calisthenics was all about. “Come’n’try” February and Calisthenics was now known to our community. We had our Tinies class on the Monday night, our first night back, and were expec ng a few new girls to arrive, so had arranged extra helpers, but the amount of girls that had shown up was unbelievable. Our hall isn’t that big and with 34 girls arriving to give us a go, as well as their parents and siblings, the place was chao c. On the Wednesday, we held our Sub‐juniors class. A er last year only having 4 girls and not being able to compete, we were excited at the prospect of new girls trying out. With only 3 of the 4 returning and only two Tinies going up, we hoped we would be at least able to have a team to compete. We were pleasantly surprised to have a total of 16 girls trying our class. On the 2nd week we had the same amount of girls, although some were gone and some were new. This led us to quickly arrange to put the Tinies into two different teams of what were now 15 girls each. As of the comple on of week 4, we now have 2 teams of 13 Tinies, 14 Sub Juniors, 8 Juniors, 8 Inters and 14 Seniors. A total of 70 girls, an increase of 24 par cipants. To say that ‘Come’n’Try” was a success for our club would be a huge understatement. We look forward to next year’s February, to keep our club growing, become successful both on stage and with our friendships. 2013 CVI State Championship Trophies Congratula ons to the winners of the following CVI Trophies:‐ Jeane e Schreck Memorial Trophy ‐ Championship Senior Aggregate, Ceres Empire Trade Trophy ‐ Championship Reserve Senior Aggregate winner, Merinda Maureen Connelly Memorial Trophy ‐ Championship Inter Aggregate winner, Avonde Ilana Treagus Memorial Trophy ‐ Championship Junior Aggregate winner, Jeaden Regent Trophy ‐ Championship Sub Junior Aggregate winner, Jeaden Cli on Collegians Heritage Trophy ‐ Div. 1 Seniors Aggregate winner, Kristar Joan Lloyd Memorial Trophy ‐ Div 7 Senior Aesthe cs winner, Glenroy Emma Bakes Memorial Trophy ‐ (from VCCA) Div 1 Senior Rhyth Aesth. winner, Kristar Waverley Trophy ‐ Div. 5 Junior Clubs winner, Sterling Nance Padey Award ‐ Div 5 Senior Aesthe c winner, Westaire
