October was a busy one at the House. We turned pink, dressed up for Halloween, cheered on our Masters League competitors and wrapped up the six-week challenge. Thanks to everyone who was part of it.
Pink Day: $1,291 raised
Our Pink Day fundraiser reached $1,291, beating the $1,000 goal for the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
Thank you to everyone who donated, bought a Pink Day shirt or came along in pink on 10 October. It all helped get us past the target.
A Haunted House
The gym had a different look on 30 October for our first Halloween night. Costumes were part of the session this time.
Thanks to everyone who dressed up and joined in. Training together gives us plenty to work towards, and a few excuses to have some fun along the way.
House Mates at the Masters League Games
Amanda Pearce and Katy Smith represented the House at the 2026 Masters League Games.
Amanda placed fourth in Female Soldier 45–49, and Katy placed eighth in Female Warrior 40–44. Congratulations to both of you.
A placing is one part of the story. We’d love to share more about the training, the goals and the people behind these results in a future edition.
Six weeks of work, recognised
Our six-week challenge has finished, and these are the winners:
First: Amelia Varney, $250.
Second: Michelle Spence, $150.
Third: Kate Ford, $100.
The Heart of House award went to Sarah Hughes, who receives a free month of training. Kurt created the award to recognise her determination and commitment throughout the challenge.
Congratulations to the winners and everyone who took part.
Next up: the House Crown
Sunday 6 December is the next date for your calendar. The House Crown brings teams of two together for a day of competition, with prizes and the crown on the line.
If you’d like to compete, register your interest and Kurt will get in touch about your spot. Spectators are welcome too, so come along and support the House Mates on the floor.
