The end of 2011 is drawing near and Santa is around the corner, the Turkeys would like to thank everybody who has supported and sponsored us through the season we look forward to seeing you all in 2012. On 3rd Dec the Turkeys held a Christmas party at Newpark and had a fair turnout even Santa himself showed up and handed out presents to all the kids. It was a great day out for everybody the kids enjoyed the slip n slide and the jumping castle while the adults enjoyed the cricket on the new projector and a few cold ones then partied into the night with local DJ Andizzy. Thank you to everyone that showed up and we hope you all had a great night!The Turkeys will start training on 10th January all players and anyone who would like to play are encouraged to come alone. We have had some new signings this year and a return of many of the local lads we all know and love. For any more information check out our kyogle rugby league Facebook page.

On 29th and 30th October the KCER held their first inaugural Endurance event at the Wiangaree Showgrounds. The small village of Wiangaree came to life with 108 horses starting across all events. The ride was run very successfully by the ride organisers. Due to the weather conditions the course was made more challenging for both horse and rider. The events started at 2.30pm and the last riders crossed the finish line at 12.45am. It was such a sight to see the headlamps of riders and to hear the hooves of horses along the road.KCER would like to thank all the vets, TPR’s, Wiangaree Campdraft grounds, volunteers, landholders, Kyogle Rotary and sponsors who allowed us to have such a great event.We will be holding another event next year on 4th and 5th August.We would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
