Friday the 21st saw picklers from the Gloucester Sport & Recreation Association out enjoying some festive fun as they celebrated both Christmas and their first anniversary. During the afternoon, members voted on a name for their new pickleball machine, purchased with support from a Whitsunday Regional Council grant. The winning name, Lobbie Lobster, has already become a favourite among players, helping them warm up and practise their shots.
Eighteen players—mostly locals, along with two visitors from Mackay—joined in the afternoon games, with several spectators braving the heat to cheer them on. The celebration wrapped up with a relaxed dinner at the Gloucester Resort, catered by two of their own players, chefs Nick and Fred.
