Join the Moggill Book Club

Moggill Uniting Church Community Centre Book Club

Do you like reading and also talking about books you have read? If so, you'd probably enjoy being one of the lively group of book-lovers who meet on the first Monday of each month from 9.30am to 11am at the 'Old Church' on the corner of Moggill and Kangaroo Gully Roads.

One of the benefits of being in a book club is the opportunity to be introduced to a whole new set of authors and their books as well as to make a new set of friends. Some of our members follow up the morning meeting with lunch or a movie or both.

We keep a balance between fiction and non-fiction and generally do a pretty good job of catering for individual tastes. Books are chosen three or four months in advance to give everyone a chance to borrow from the Council Library.

There are both men and women in our club, and new members are always welcome. For more information about the book club phone Noela Teakle on 3202 8614, or for enquiries about other groups in the Community Centre, phone June Rice on 3202 7045.

Join the State Emergency Service

The State Emergency Service (SES) is a volunteer organization  made up of local people who have volunteered to prepare themselves and their communities to minimise the effects of a disaster. SES volunteers do not receive payment.

Under the motto, "Be Aware", the basic concept of the SES is to encourage self-help and mutual assistance within each community. The SES Units support the statutory services (Police, Fire and Ambulance) where an emergency or disaster is beyond the resources of those services.
In Queensland, the SES is the primary response agency for storm and flood emergencies and provides support to other emergency service agencies.
