Community News Winning logo design
The Beerwah Sportsground Management Committee Inc (BSMC) recently ran a school-based competition to encourage emerging graphic artists to create a design for the new association’s logo. Last week, year six student Will Dellaway from Glasshouse Christian College was presented with a certificate and $100 in prize money for his brilliant effort in designing the committee’s new logo, which will now feature on its letterhead, advertising and sponsorship promotion. Helen Weil from BSMC said the management committee ran the competition to attract talented young local artists and/or computer whizzes willing to take on the challenge. The design needed to be of a general nature with a focus on being active and being a community. It also needed to encompass and be representative of all of the involved groups plus those that may become users in the future, and feature a representation of the Glass House Mountains. “As a multi-sporting club facility, the design brief was a tall order and required some serious thought, but we believed that there were some young and very talented designers in the school communities so we were happy to put it out to our local young people,” Helen said. The competition closed at the end of August and the winner was decided at the following BSMC meeting earlier this month. Helen said that originally the design prize money offered was $50 but to acknowledge the extra efforts that Will undertook to tweak the final product, the committee decided to surprise him at the presentation assembly with an additional $50. “Will did an excellent job and included some extra changes that we asked for. He is a lovely young gentleman and with his extra efforts we were happy to give him $100 as a show of our appreciation,” Helen said.
Maleny launches 18-hole member drive with three-year deal Maleny Golf Club is offering a special three-year membership option to new members as it prepares to bring the final six holes of the award-winning Sunshine Coast hinterland course into play in early 2020. Maleny Golf Club, which opened in 2015, is known for its welcoming country hospitality and still has significant growth capacity to accommodate new male, female and junior members interested in playing socially or competitively. There is currently no nomination fee. Anyone taking up the $2,244 offer will enjoy full gold membership from the day they sign up until October 31, 2022 and avoid anticipated annual fee increases in the meantime. The 2019/2020 full gold membership fee will be $748. President Dr Max Whitten said the offer represented both good value for money and an opportunity for members and newcomers to help the club fund mowing and maintenance fleet additions to service the expanded 18-hole course. “We will be bringing the last six of our 18 holes into play early in the new year and have committed to purchasing and leasing additional equipment so we can continue to deliver our high standard of course presentation,” Dr Whitten said. The current 12-hole, par-46 course incorporates an environmentally low-impact design by golf architect Graham Papworth that preserves and integrates existing wetlands and native flora. The completed 18-hole course will be comprised of two par 5s, ten par 4s and six par 3s, presenting a par 68 layout featuring unique revetted greenside bunkering, Tifdwarf Bermudagrass greens and kikuyu fairways within a peaceful, scenic hinterland setting.
