Wheelchair access for the disabled at Alex beach
Some of our not so young members may have experienced the feeling that a certain scribe felt when our ideas lady (that's Michelle) noticed that whereas the Mooloolaba SLSC laid out a mat on the beach from the club - the Alex SLSC did not.
So the club rallied and said, OK lets do it for the disabled community. "Not so fast" a certain scribe said, "there's something in the cobwebs of my noggin about this...lets talk to Honorary member Ashley" (the fount of all knowledge) and so on Friday after the meeting we discovered that the SLSC did in fact have a mat and beach wheelchair that they wanted to use, but was not being used because of a question mark over the gradient access to the beach.
So I am pleased to say that since Michelle and Ashley and a certain scribe got involved that local Councillor Joe Natoli and SLSC Club captain Neil are back on the case and we're hopeful of a good outcome for local disabled community to use the beach. Stay tuned.
