The Colours of a Buderim Spring Carnival will be full of colour, with fashions fit for the Spring Racing Carnival and will include a gorgeous afternoon tea and fashion parade.

Buderim Foundation Events Committee Chair Jenny Cant said the event had been months in the planning and would be quite different from the two very successful fashion parades previously held by the Foundation, with the clothing showcased to include men’s and women’s fashions to suit all ages.

“The fashion parade will feature spring fashions from five local fashion businesses and will include a lovely, seated afternoon tea, with champagne on arrival,” Jenny said.

She said the event, which was also being supported by other local Buderim businesses, would be an opportunity for Buderim Foundation Ambassadors to invite friends to find out more about the important work of the Foundation, to support the local community and enjoy an afternoon out with friends.

The National Junior Women’s Wheelchair Basketball Program is coming to Murgon in the South Burnett on Saturday 6th August, thanks to Suncoast Spinners Wheelchair Sports Club, which is working in partnership with Basketball Australia.

Suncoast Spinners South Burnett Wheelchair Basketball Coach Michael Oxley said the organisation was really excited about the opportunity the program would offer to wheelchair users as well as able-bodied players in the region.

The Program will include a private training session where 15-year-old Taylor Peterson from Kingaroy will train alongside Australian Under 25 Squad member Emerald Wilmshurst, from Maryborough, and they will link in via zoom for skills training with National Coaches including Australian Women’s Junior Head Coach Janna Mizens and young female players from around the country. After the program, the girls will also participate in Suncoast Spinners regular social wheelchair basketball program.

Dress fit for royalty and come along to a very special celebration for Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee.

Buderim Foundation Chair Dr Russell Stitz said with people all over the Commonwealth hosting events to celebrate the 70^th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II ascending to the throne at the beginning of June, the Foundation thought it would be a great opportunity to join the fun.

“The event to be held on Thursday 2^nd June will see attendees welcomed by a piper as they sip Pimms cocktails or a glass of champagne on the BWMCA War Memorial Hall lawn. There will also be an array of delicious British-inspired savoury and sweet treats to enjoy,” Dr Stitz said.
