Dungog's iconic Tinshed Brewery has just celebrated six years of brewing beers and serving the local community. The brewery has faced a lot of challenges in those times, but it has grown to a staff of 10. I congratulate Jimmy and Haley Cox for the great results they get and the wonderful brew they make.

Despite a number of setbacks, Dungog's annual Pedalfest pushed on, taking the road recently for a fun weekend organised by John Walton and Dungog Rotary. They raised $5,500 for local projects. Congratulations, John and Dungog Rotary.

I'd also like to mention father-and-daughter team Richard and Emma Sewell of Taree, who completed the World 70.3 Half Ironman Triathlon Championship race held in Utah. Emma is the 18 to 24 years Australian champion and Richard competed in the 50 to 54 years division. Both Sewells are members of the Forster Tri Club. I congratulate both of them.

After securing a full-time golfing scholarship, 18-year-old Quedesha Golledge, Cundletown's latest golfing talent, heads to the US in January to start a three-year stay at Tarleton State University in Texas. Quedesha is an outstanding golfer and is well-known in the Mid North Coast region. Good luck, Quedesha. I'm sure our community will be very proud of what you achieve.
