In this episode we shine the light on the importance of female participation at football/netball clubs. Meringur is one of six clubs in the Millewa Football League, a small league in the Mildura region. It operates with a full array of netball, women’s footy, plus just the one senior men’s team. We talk about the importance of women’s football for their club and league, with it noted as perhaps the most important driving force behind their club’s progression in recent years. This episode is a must listen if you’ve ever considered female footy for your club or league.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 6: Meringur's Peter Mangan & Maddy McPhee

There's a silent but alarming epidemic of loneliness and social isolation across the rich world across all ages. The World Health Organization now lists lack of social support networks as one of the risk factors for early death - as lethal as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. In the longer-lasting Big Middle of life, social networks can easily become frayed or collapse altogether. Dubliner Peter Mangan noticed this was happening with his father. So he decided to do something to liven up his Dad's  life. He founded The Freebird Club, a global homestay community for over50s that's as much about socialising as it is travelling. Notes  All about The Freebird Club, Peter Mangan's brilliant idea that now boasts members in more than 70 countries I'd have loved to play Lynyrd Skynyrd's tune Free Bird in the intro but, you bet, copyright restrictions.
