Happy New Year Burdekin! We have seen some New Year Resolutions being spoken about in the last couple of weeks and I think a great resolution for people is to try something different and join a new community club or group in 2024.

The Burdekin has always offered many options when it comes to sporting and community groups. It takes a quick look through the new Burdekin Community Directory website, where it showcases the variety of options available in our region. From artistic pursuits like pottery, woodcrafts and singing, to physical activities like bowling, tennis and clay target shooting, among many others.

If you prefer indoor or outdoor, slow or fast paced you can find something that suits your preferences and interests. You might be surprised by some of the things you didn't know you could do in our region.

There are contact details for all the groups and organisations and I especially encourage anyone who does join something new to help out where you can as they all rely on volunteers and many hands make light work, so even the smallest of contributions goes a long way and keeps these clubs going.

I hope everyone has a great 2024!
