FROM LES LOUIS, ROTARY CLUB OF WYNNUM AND MANLY
Unfortunately, the consistent wet weather leading up to the planned date for the annual Family Fun Day in June meant that the event had to be postponed. It will now be held on Sunday, August 30, 2026, with all the same fun activities.
The Rotary Club of Wynnum and Manly, generously supported by Ampol, is once again busy preparing for the event to be held at George Clayton Park on the Esplanade in Wynnum.
This year, as usual, everything at the park will be free (except for the coffee van and soft drinks stall). There will be a free sausage sizzle, fresh fruit and free things to entertain the kids, including traditional games and races like sack races, egg and spoon races, and three-legged races; a jumping castle; a petting zoo; face painting; and the parachute to flap up and down with balls on it. A new one is croquet – come along and have a go.
Local school bands will provide musical entertainment until lunchtime; some local vocalists will follow them, and the day will be rounded out by the Brisbane Bayside Brass Band.
Local agencies and organisations such as the Police, Fire, Ambulance, Rosies, Red Cross, Manly Kindy, Zonta, Sailability, and Bunnings will have stalls around the park perimeter. In addition, a range of service agencies able to provide domestic and family violence support and assistance will be present to reinforce the basic theme of the day (raising awareness of domestic and family violence), which is closely linked to the DV Prevention Month in May.
Everyone is welcome – come along and have fun!
