⭐️ 🎃 HAPPY HALLOWEEN 🎃 ⭐️

👻 BOO - Join our Spooky Volunteers tonight for a frightening good time with Halloween themed Meat Raffles, and Tricks and Treats!

29/10/2025

⭐️ At the FUNdraising Raffles we get to meet some wonderful people - kind, fun, friendly, supportive and generous.

Two such people are: Mal and Pierre.

Working in Singleton for the past few months our friendship just happened with many laughs, drinks, dancing, food and fun, with both gentlemen engaging with our Star Clubbers Kyle, Jodin and Maddy, “El Presidentay” Stew, Volunteer Justin and, of course, Founder/Secretary Sharon and Committee/“Merchandise Extraordinaire” Jamie.

Over the weeks Mal and Pierre have supported the Meat Raffles very generously and have even donated their Meat Trays to local Patrons when they have won. They have ensured our Star Clubbers have been a part of their group in many a conversation, always including them.

Then, to top it off, last week they made a generous and unexpected donation to Star Club, which we are very grateful for - THANK YOU 🙏🏻 … so, yes, we had to “Star Club” them with our Trucker Hats. 🧢

Mal and Pierre will be heading back to Sydney and we are going to miss them …alot. Their financial generosity was amazing but the most generous part of themselves they offered us all, always, was and is their very big hearts ♥️ !

⭐️ 🧞‍♀️ Little Devil Sale 🧞‍♀️⭐️

6 months ago our Merchandise Extraordinaire ordered SC Trucker Hats, putting the box in Star Clubber Jodin’s room so he could deliver them to HQ. There they stayed & the Devil knows how they were not seen until 6 days ago!

In honour of the little Devil, Jodin, who discovered that box after 6 months, we are having a “Little Devil Sale” for 6 days with $6 off our Trucker Hats … and it ends Halloween! 🎃

$39 (usually $45)
PM to Order
🧞‍♀️⭐️🧞‍♀️⭐️🧞‍♀️⭐️
+ Postage or Pick Up at Star Club, HQ
(because they are finally here!)

🧞‍♀️ … 👻

… And mental note to our Merchandise Extraordinaire: When you put something in a teenager’s room, expect it may never see the light of day again! 🧛🏻‍♂️

Hot but fun morning yesterday at Star Club Singleton.

Kyle was volunteer groom whilst Maddie practiced serpentines and nailed her EA Gr II prelim test. Brie found her “capable Brie” with confidence and determination and trotted around the area on Koda. Juzzi rode for 35 mins today and washed Koda - Big steps!
Little Star Mylo ate icecream, it was hot!, with “Squizzy” as foreman 😂
Coach Support Shazza sweated in the sun whilst Jamie was the photographer in charge.
Well done all! and Congrats to “Koda” for being a challenging horse when he needed to be as well as a sweetheart - he is an amazing equine. ❤️

⭐️ 🌻 Invisible Disabilities Week 🌻⭐️
19 ~ 25 October 2025





https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1FqsnjvZWf/?mibextid=wwXIfr

It’s Invisible Disabilities Week (19–25 October)! 🌻

Around 80–85% of people with a disability have one that isn’t visible. These include neurological, cognitive, sensory, mental health, and chronic conditions that aren’t always immediately apparent.

Not all disabilities are visible — but a little understanding and kindness can go a long way in making everyone feel seen and supported.

⭐️ Star Club is run entirely by Volunteers and the success and development of the Program and of our Star Clubbers are a credit to them all.

Volunteers Jamie (“Merchandise Extraordinaire” and Committee Member), Jodin (Star Clubber) and his dad, Justin, did a generous thing last week.

With the horse truck out of action, they kindly offered their float so our Star Clubbers (Kyle and Kelly) could compete at Young Dressage Association - Dressage in the Bush. 🫶🏻

But the generosity did not end there…

Unfortunately the float pin did not connect to the tow vehicle organised. 😢

So what do these big-hearted wonderful people do ….

Lend their Landcruiser as well! 🙌🏻

Without this generosity, our Star Clubbers would not have been able to compete and Star Club are extremely fortunate to have Jamie, Justin and Jodin on our Team ~ we truly thank them from the bottom of our hearts. 💜

PS Cannot wait until we see Jodin’s horse truck”Ammo” in his new browband 💜💎💜 💎

Day 4 - Sunday

Star Clubber Kyle has focused on self- development, improving his capabilities, potential, and quality of life through activities that enhance physical, mental, and emotional well-being with the support of a Mentor, Sports Performance Psychologist and Star Clubber over the past 2 years. He has and continues to gain new skills, increasing self-awareness, and the setting of his goals to lead a fulfilling happy life, achieve his dreams and Reach for the Stars.

On Sunday, amongst approximately 15 other very well-deserved Nominees, Star Clubber Kyle was awarded the Gooromon Park Riding Centre Harmony Award for Sportsmanship, Horsemanship and Respect. Kyle received three nominations, as did two other incredible people, and was chosen for the Award by the Ground Jury.

Kyle, his Mentor, Sports Performance Psychologist Shayne, Star Club, Coach Support Jemma and his family are thrilled, and the crowd at Young cheered loudly upon the announcement. 🎉

We all face challenges, negativity, gossip and setbacks, but it is how we meet and tackle those things that make us true Stars ~ Congratulations Kyle ~ You are a Star and we are all very proud!

💜 Dedicated to the Bell Family

🙏🏻 With thanks to Gooromon Park for sponsoring the Harmony Award, those that nominated both Star Clubbers (see below) and the Ground Jury.

⭐️ Congratulations to Star Clubber Kelly who also received a nomination for the Harmony Award. Two Star Clubbers attended this Comp and both were nominated for the Harmony Award.

Woohoo!! Star Club Singo back today and with a burst of sunshine!!
Maddie groomed, tacked up, rode Koda, rode her tests in prep for a comp, Kyle and Maddie went for a walk outside the area, then she was untacking when star clubber Juzzi turned up and he then rode Koda, walking, medium walking, over some poles, getting back into it then Juzzi held Koda while Kyle gave him a shower. Star Clubber Kyle was lending a hand everywhere he could. Little Star Mylo was living his best life playing in the biggest sandpit in singo, then the smallest pool, and eating his sandwich on the best seat available, aka a horse step.
Coach Sharon deserved a well earned rest in the heat while Jamie took the horse home 😝

DAY 3 - Saturday

STAR CLUBBER KELLY’S BEST DAY OF HER LIFE 🙌🏻

Competing in Open competition for the first time, Kelly and Kokoda’s Lethal Weapon absolutely smashed their Prep tests.

Prep 1
70.333% - A PB and placing Kel 4th amongst a field of 10. 🏅

Prep 2
65.667% - Another PB and another 4th place. 🏅

We all dream of reaching the elusive 70s and Kel and Koda did it! 🎉

Star Clubber Kyle and Chapplehurst Mozique entered the OC Prelim Championship-AOR, competing in the 1.3 for the first time (how has he not competed in this test before we have no idea).

Prelim 1.2
62.411% - 9th out of 13 Riders 🎖️

Prelim 1.3
58.542% - 9th 🎖️

Just like Friday, Saturday’s competition was as equally fun, friendly, supportive and inclusive, and our Star Clubbers were excited to compete against Riders they look up to.

It wasnt all competition though … Kelly and Kyle were presented with their Rider’s Bags full of goodies from the Comp Sponsors by Stasi … were spoilt with scones, jam and cream by Stasi …. and had a lot of photos and giggles with Stasi! … Do you see a pattern ?! 😜

Both Star Clubbers were also thrilled to have a photo with Para-Equestrian Felicity and enjoy a bit (ok a lot!) of retail therapy.
