It’s Jousting, But in Water
If you’ve read about King Arthur and his knights, or even watched “Game of Thrones,†you know what jousting is. But have you heard of water jousting? Think next-level jousting over a body of water. Horses are replaced by boats, and jousters don’t wear any armor—all they have to protect themselves is a small shield. Water jousting is a tradition in the harbor city of Sète, France, that goes back to 1666. Robert Bancilhon, 75, learned the sport from his father and passed it on to his son, Christophe.

Celebrating the legacy of two lifetimes | The Pool
For more than 30 years, John & Nina Manning were the faces of the Bathurst pool.
They ran the pool and the canteen, keeping an eye on swimmers doing their laps and kids who may or may not have been getting up to mischief on hot summer days.
In memory of their dedication, the Bathurst community petitioned to change the name of the local aquatic centre to memorialise the couple, and locals described the impact the Manning’s had on their childhoods.
Thanks in part to the community support, the Bathurst Aquatic Centre has been renamed the Manning Aquatic Centre in memory of John & Nina.
