Welcome…….Il Shim Longreach.

We are very pleased to announce the opening of our latest club in Longreach Central Western Queensland. Longreach is situated 1200 Kms North West of Brisbane and is the birth place of QANTAS airlines, deep in outback Queensland. Properly more renown for hot weather, planes and red kangaroos, the Longreach landscape is about to change forever.

Instructor Mr Robbie Medlin, has big plans for Il Shim Longreach. There has already been significant interest with classes commencing 13 January 2014. The club is a family oriented club which caters to all age groups and fitness levels. This is a first for Il Shim, in that we have never had a club in Central Western Queensland. Mr.Medlin is intent on making this club a standout in the Il Shim ranks and is passionate about ensuring student technique; attitude and effort are second to none.

Mr.Medlin would like to expand the club into the surrounding townships of Barcaldine, Blackall and Winton, but is intent on setting the foundations firmly in Longreach in the first instance. Mr.Medlin said it would be great to have the neighbouring townships come on board as this would help significantly with a Central Western competition sometime in the future.

Central Western Queenslanders are renown for their passion for all things sport and Il Shim Longreach is intent on gaining a very large foot print in the community that will benefit not only members but the community as well.

There has been significant interest in the club and Mr Medlin said the greatest challenge will be getting members to competitions……….so watch this space as there may be the opportunity for another annual competition for Queensland on the horizon.
