Huge industrial strength fan

Shaun from Beach Haven

Works well. Great on days like today when it’s hot, especially in areas like garages and workshops; my flatmate used it in the garage for when he worked out (boxing and cycling), and it kept him really nice and cool as well as bad smells out!

It’s pretty big, approx. 1.5m x 80cm wide, and … View more
Works well. Great on days like today when it’s hot, especially in areas like garages and workshops; my flatmate used it in the garage for when he worked out (boxing and cycling), and it kept him really nice and cool as well as bad smells out!

It’s pretty big, approx. 1.5m x 80cm wide, and it’s not particularly quiet but it does the job and will cool you down instantly.

It’s a bit dusty at the bottom but otherwise works just fine.

Must pick up by Saturday 19th January at 6 PM.

Send me a msg if you’re interested.

Price: $40

Free outdoor bean bag

Shaun from Beach Haven

Full disclosure: this had a tear at the bottom but it’s been taped up with rubber tape and the underside is a little mouldy. There’s also minor stains throughout. Some sun and cleaning might fix that up though.

This beanbag is really comfortable and is huge: can fit any sized adult.

Free fridge freezer - works well and economical - just needs a clean!

Approx. 53cm wide x 54.5cm deep x 121 high

Just been sitting in my garage for the last year not being used, but it works fine - both the freezer and the fridge compartments. It is very economical, so great for a second fridge, for drinks, or small units/apartments etc.

It’s definitely dirty inside and out, but with some elbow grease it’ll clean up just fine! I tested it and the black marks on the seals come out no problem.

Must pick up by Saturday 19 Jan 6pm.

Inaugural Mixed Triples Club Trophy - a great start to 2019.

Six teams played a Round Robin with the intention of the two top teams playing a final. As it happened the two top teams after Round Four met in the fifth round, which due to the hot weather conditions, was deemed to be the final.

There were several close finishes in the earlier rounds but the final proved to be the closest with a tied score going into the last end. After a superb lead's shot saw the jack closely trailed (to go 1:0 up) the shot bowl was then dislodged by a short front bowl being struck by Skip No.2 resulting in a hold change. Skip No 1's last bowl all but reversed the process - but not quite, and the final score was a win by one shot after a total of 40 ends of bowling. They don't get any closer than that!

For the record, Match Convenor Rick Markovina presented the Trophy to the first(?) mixed Triples Club Champions, Mandy & Ian Little with Doug Laughlan. The runners up were Eileen & Richard Ponting with John Everett. Well played both teams, it was an intriguing and dramatic final - great entertainment for the gallery.
