blackouts, did not deter more than 40 people from
Corrigin clubs, groups and businesses attending
the 2017 Thank a Volunteer event held at Miss
B’s Park (and Town Hall) on the eve of Thursday
9
th
March 2017.
Despite the unexpected turn in weather everyone
enjoyed a relaxed and social Thank a Volunteer
event. Acknowledging and celebrating the
important role volunteers play in our community.
Juanita MacGregor from Just a Bit Fancy,
provided the crowd with a range of delicious
‘nibbles’ with the final cookies & cream
cheesecake being skilfully cut up by torch light !
Thank a Volunteer Day funding support was
obtained from the Department of Local
Government and Communities. This grant
supports celebrations for a whole of community

“It’s always important to welcome
new residents to town to meet our local
volunteers and invite them to join
our community”.

Annual Carnival at the
Corrigin Swimming Pool
The Corrigin District High School, House Swimming carnival
was held on Tuesday 28th February at the Corrigin Memorial
Swimming Pool, which was a picture thanks to Pool Manager,
Rachel Bairstow.
While some age groups had fewer swimmers, the competition
was strong and four records were broken. Babakin School
also participated in the Swimming carnival, which boosted
competitor numbers. The overall winning team was ‘Lightning’
and Daniel Lewis and Courtney Hall accepted the shield.
The day finished with a fiercely fought student versus teacher
versus parent race
...
maybe an excuse to get wet on a very
hot day!
