• October: Quiz Night - $5 Entry

  A good crowd of locals and visitors enjoyed a great night out with a lot of fun and prizes at the annual Quiz Night at the Phil Renkin Recreation Centre, Two Rocks on a mild Saturday night in October.

  The quiz was very entertaining with 20 rounds of 5 questions in 'Pick A Box' style. Each table got to choose a box. Some rounds were worth triple points and some were worth double points. The winning table scored 76 points and won a $150 voucher from Oscar and Son. Second place received Bunnings vouchers and scratchies. Third place received coffee mugs and scratchies and last place received cake slices and scratchies. Everyone had a great time.

  Many participants picked up some great bargains in the Silent Auction which was conducted during the night. The Silent Auction raised $350 with lots of interesting items up for bids.

  The Association would like to sincerely thank the following sponsors that helped make the night such a great success:

  Thanks to those who set up the hall and made the supper. Also thanks to Terry and Caroline Loftus who did a great job preparing the questions and running the quiz again this year. And finally, thanks to those who helped to clean up and pack things away at the end of the night.

• September: Volunteers Breakfast - Free Entry for Volunteers

  67 volunteers enjoyed a free, fully cooked breakfast at the Phil Renkin Recreation Centre in Two Rocks on a cool Saturday morning in September.

  The fifth annual breakfast was organised by the Yanchep-Two Rocks Recreation Association to acknowledge and thank the many volunteers that we have in our area. Volunteers are a very important part of our community and it is nice to be able to say thank you to them and show appreciation for what they do.

  The breakfast consisted of a variety of sausages, bacon, eggs, tomato, baked beans, spaghetti, mushrooms and toast with tea, coffee and juice. Each volunteer received a pen and chocolate as a thank you for their efforts as a volunteer for the communities of Yanchep and Two Rocks.

  City of Wanneroo Chief Executive Officer Mr. Daniel Simms gave a talk on volunteering in the area. This was followed by a talk from City of Wanneroo Community Development Officer Mr. Luke Hutchinson about his volunteering experiences abroad.

  The Recreation Association would like to thank its own special volunteers for volunteering their time to set up, cook and clean up on the day. Hopefully the breakfasts will continue as long as we have volunteers.

• August: Wild, Wild West Hoedown - $5-$10 Entry

  170 various cowboys, sheriffs, cowgirls, squaws, indians, saloon girls, and a china man came along and enjoyed the Wild, Wild West Hoedown at the Phil Renkin Recreation Centre on a cool Saturday night in August.

  The Hoedown was jointly organised by The Renegade Linedancers and The Yanchep-Two Rocks Recreation Association.

  Lorraine and her band of Renegade Linedancers did a great job of decorating the hall with a teepee and wanted posters. Raffle, Door and Spot prizes were appreciated by the many lucky winners. A light supper, tea and coffee were provided.

  It was a GREAT night! It was nice to see so many people had come from far and wide including 20 from Geraldton. People cheered after each dance and stayed till the end of the evening.

  The Hoedown was a community fund raising event with proceeds going to Food Bank and Yanchep District High School. Both groups were subsequently presented with cheques for $500 each.

  Lorraine puts a great deal of effort into the annual Hoedowns and deserves a big thank you from the Recreation Association for all her efforts for the community. Thanks very much also to those who helped set up the hall and clean up afterwards. It was good to see so many helpers and everyone working as a team.

• July: Ultimate Tribute Show - $20 Entry

  What a great night! 240 people came along and thoroughly enjoyed The Ultimate Tribute Show at the Phil Renkin Recreation Centre on a cool Saturday night in July.

  

  Five versatile musicians created three live tribute bands in the night's entertainment.

  The three and a half hour cabaret show featured 'Sir Cliff Richard' performing all-time classics such as Summer Holiday, Living Doll, Congratulations, Devil Woman, Carrie, Wired for Sound and many more. Then 'The Fabfour', Australia's most recognised tribute band, took the stage. To finish off the night, 'Jumping Jack Flash' performed pure rock and roll entertainment that encompassed the 'Rolling Stones'.

  The Ultimate Tribute Show was about dynamic, positive, moments that impacted on everyone, performing classic hits and projecting these legendary entertainers.

  This was the first time this show has been seen in the northern suburbs of Perth.

  The event was sponsored by the Yanchep-Two Rocks Recreation Association.

  Thanks to those who helped with setting up the hall and cleaning up afterwards. Your efforts helped make this another great community event.

• April: Rock N Roll Dance - $5 Entry

  A small but enthusiastic crowd thoroughly enjoyed the Rock N Roll Dance at the Phil Renkin Recreation Centre in Two Rocks on a mild Saturday night in April.

  The night was great and made all the more enjoyable by lots of great music provided by the very popular Bruce and Robyn. Those that did attend had a fantastic time!

  A light supper with tea and coffee provided some refreshment for the active rock and rollers. Some were lucky enough to win Door and Raffle prizes.

  Thanks to those who helped with setting up the hall, preparing supper and cleaning up afterwards. Your efforts helped make this another great community event.

• January: Australia Day Breakfast - FREE

  A large crowd attended the Association's annual 'Aussie Day' Breakfast at the Phil Renkin Recreation Centre in Two Rocks on Monday 26 January 2009 and enjoyed:

  • a hot breakfast;
  • chocolates, flags and stickers for the children;
  • the presentation of well deserved Community Awards; and
  • great entertainment for young and old;
  ALL FREE

  Following the National Anthem, about 550 local residents and visitors tucked into a great 'Aussie' breakfast with a choice of bacon, eggs, sausages, baked beans, tomatoes, juice, coffee/tea and toast. Quite a lot of people got into the spirit of Australia Day by coming dressed up for the occasion in Aussie colours and outfits.

  The eighth annual Yanchep-Two Rocks Recreation Association Australia Day Awards were presented after the 'Aussie' Breakfast. The Community Awards recognise individuals, community groups and youth who have contributed to and been outstanding in the district.

  The following Community Awards were announced and presented:

  An army of local volunteers including many members of the Yanchep District Branch of the Country Women's Association, set up, cooked, and served breakfast and washed dishes. Some people also stayed on to clean and pack up afterwards. Without all of these dedicated volunteers this function would not be such a great success. Congratulations and well done to all the helpers.

  The City of Wanneroo and Yanchep Sun City Pty. Ltd. were the major sponsors of this event again this year. Local businesses Fosters Meats and FoodWorks Two Rocks also supported the event with donations or amazing discounts to help the day.

  The Association appreciates everyone's help and contributions.
