WILL NOT GO AHEAD as scheduled for Dec 4th 2020 It is deemed the health & safety of our community a higher priority and with COVID-19 government restrictions and regarding public events & gatherings we believe it a safer option to cancel the Pageant for 2020. We thank our many generous sponsors local businesses for their support ,workers, clubs everyone involved in our community event. We hope everyone stays safe and well through this difficult time and the community can celebrate safely together. WE WILL CELEBRATE A 2021 CLARE CHRISTMAS PAGEANT.

23.01.2022 Clare Lions Gonna Group What started as a chat between a few local Clare valley guys over a glass of red to help people out in need in their own way has resul...ted in a new volunteer group named the Gonna Group. Our goal is to maintain a hands-on not-for profit group of youngish (between 18 & 55 yo) people to assist people and/or organizations that need a helping hand within the wider Clare Valley region of South Australia. To formalize the establishment of the group the founders Glenn Hayes, Ryan Wood and Ronald van Diessen found a great partner and support from the Lions Club of Clare District. The Clare Lions and their members have been very supportive in assisting the formation of the Gonna Group under the Clare Lions banner. The Clare Lions Gonna Group Club branch was born and is a stand-alone Club Branch of the Clare Lions. Clare Lions have been supportive in many things to kick start the group, especially with their guidance, advise, contacts and assistance in grant applications. What is the Gonna Group gonna do? The name Gonna Group is no coincidence. Our mission is to assist people (and not-for-profit organizations) with voluntary time to get hands on things done. Our main goal is individual assistance of the elderly who can't financially afford so, with once off jobs in and around their home / yard. Secondary goal is assisting people who due to illness, disability, or misfortune can't do those tasks and can't financially afford to have it done. Other hands-on projects can be submitted to the group too and will be assessed per case by the Gonna Group Board. Equally important is also to create an opportunity for youngish men to reach out to others. The mental health component (make sure everyone is OK) of the group is an important side goal. Younger adults are also getting tied down with day to day life and sometimes an outlet is only through kids sports on weekends for example. The satisfaction of helping others is a great tool for improving your head space and feeling good about self-worth and what you can do for others within the community. The Gonna Group aims to maintain a feel-good group atmosphere where members feel welcomed and accepted and feel good about the work they do. The Gonna Group currently has about 8 members and aims to have a larger pool of enthusiastic guys to help with jobs and projects. This is not something that will consume all your free time, you are in control of what and how much you wish to do. If a job comes up, we will contact our volunteers and if you can help out we will book you in for that part of the day. Besides helping with hands on jobs on the ground, we are also looking for people who have other skills they would like to add towards supporting our group. Roles that are currently available are Secretary, Treasurer, tool & caravan maintenance, tool & material hunter, sponsorship person, recruitment person, admin roles. But we are also happy to chat about any other roles that will strengthen our mission you might think that could be useful, such as organizing fundraising events. Basically, if you are keen to help others, meet new people, make new friends, have a bit of fun and a chat, we would love to hear from you! Yellow tool caravan The recently finished yellow caravan is the newly born icon of the Gonna Group. You will not miss it. Wear your sunnies if you spot it. The caravan has been remodeled for mixed use to function as a mobile hub, storage & transport for tools, preparation room for food during breaks, shelter from the weather and to display the businesses and organizations sponsoring the group. The caravan will be taken to working bees and all tools will always be on board. This caravan & the tools were financially made possible by Beyond Bank Australia and grants from Clare and Gilbert Valley Council community asset grant and the Australian Lions Foundation, with special mention to Mitre10 Clare, Stihl Shop Clare, Clare Signs & Caltex Clare for donations given. Although we have a few tools on board we would love to hear from you if you have any excess tools you would like to donate to our group for community use, such as cordless drill, various hand tools and nuts, bolts and nails or any tools & consumables that can be used in garden or home maintenance. Sponsors & help Right from the start we have been incredibly grateful to receive fantastic support from Beyond Bank Australia Clare branch in various ways. They became our major annual sponsor. They also kindly donated a commercial coffee machine for us to sell to raise funds for our group, so please contact us if you know someone who is looking for one. Giedre Budrius from Honeycomb webdesign in Clare has donated many hours of her time to create our great logo and assist in setting up our Facebook and Google profile. We are also grateful to have Sunshine Ag Services from Peppermint Ridge farm in Mintaro, providing interstate grain harvesting services and local earthworks service for farmers, on board as a sponsor and with that Graeme Wright onto our caravan to help when he can. Our yellow caravan can’t go without a home and thanks to the generosity of a local Benbournie farmer it has found safe storage in a fantastic shed. Big thanks to all!!! Like to find out more to become a sponsor, please contact us. All funds will go towards ongoing costs of the group and the people we are helping such as materials for jobs, fuel, oil and other consumables, snacks and drinks for volunteers, fees payable, repairs / maintenance to caravan & tools and sponsoring other worthwhile projects.
