Local politicians have criticised the Federal Government’s health reform package after metropolitan media reported that it could result in the closure of several hospitals, including Gloucester Soldiers Memorial Hospital.

In the late 1940s and early 1950s Gloucester had a thriving boxing community, with regular bouts and a huge following for the sport. Local Julie Hardy is now trying to preserve some of the history associated with the sport, which helped play a part is raising funds to build the RSL Hall.

State bush poetry titles just keep heading to Gloucester. Local poet Gabby Colquhoun has claimed the 2010 women’s state title at the Australia Bush Poets Association titles in Dunedoo recently.

The landing on the beaches of Gallipoli that inspired the Anzac legend may have occurred 94 years ago, but the legacy that was inspired by those men continues to live on. And as each year passes, the number of local residents pausing to remember and pay tribute to all of Australia’s servicemen and women, continues to grow.

This grandfinal was very evenly poised before rain intervened, this meant that the match was washed out after the second team had faced 18 overs.

Buckets Bashers/Kia Ora Krushers won the grand final and were presented with the “Laurie Atkins Memorial Trophy” by Kay and Ken Garland
