It's not just the grass that's green at South Tweed Sports

In the last 12 months the Club has installed a new Chiller unit for the a/c plant and replaced 380 dichroic lights with LEDs.  This action has helped us reduce our electricity consumption by a whopping 283,000 kilowatt hours (16%) and saved your Club over $50,000.  CLICK HERE to read full story.

 

Recently, we have engaged GreenBizCheck to audit and recommend further improvements to our energy, water and waste use and our recycling and purchase practices.  If you would like some FREE tips to help your business or home improve and save $$$ check out their website HERE and click on FREE resources.

Vietnam Veterans Day 2011

Despite concerns about the weather, the 45th (our 7th) commemoration of the Battle of Long Tan avoided the rain to the relief of the 150 or so veterans, their families and friends.  The one and only Peter 'Davey' Crockett was again our emcee with Father John Darbyshire and Brigadier Doug Formby AM (Retired) leading the list of speakers.

Many former soldiers joined representatives from the RSL, DVA, Legacy South Tweed Sports, Twin Town Services Club in laying wreaths during the ceremony.

Others to lay wreaths included State Member for Tweed Geoff Provest, Tweed Shire Council Deputy Mayor Barry Longland, whilst Federal Member for Richmond Justine Elliot was represented by  staff member Jodie Bell-Chambers (Justine was sitting in Parliament).  

St Joseph's Primary School Teacher Debbie Tietzel and her wonderful children's choir sang 'I still call Australia home' and 'Advance Australia Fair'.
