Maleny Placemaking

…..Have your Say!

A well attended meeting in Maleny last week was the chance for Council to present back to residents what the new streetscape for Maleny might look like. Council are at the stage of developing a refreshed Maple Street concept plan after previous consultation with the community, to identify key themes and priorities of the broader community which informed the design.

Placemaking is about understanding what is special and important about a place today, creating a vision for the future, and involving the community to continue to shape it through design and ongoing use..

If you want to have input into the latest design ideas, there is another survey for residents to make comment of the plans that were presented last week; just go to the link:

Witta Tennis News

The Whistlers played their first match of the season at Witta against the Caloundra Hot Chillies. Great weather for tennis, and a very enjoyable day. We had a lot of long rallies and deuces, and we managed to get the last points to bring us to win. Score was 43-23 games, 6-2 sets. Team was Paula Cudmore, Maree Hooley, Donna Kuskopf and Aki Lepper.

The Wompoos travelled to Gympie to play against Murgon Masters. There was family rivalry battling it out to see who walked home. The competition was fierce all day including a couple tiebreaks. In the end Murgon came out the winner. Congratulations to Mal Carlisle, Tony Keenan, Haydyn Craven, Andrew Blows, Donna Kuskoph and Brenda Warner for putting up a good fight. Final score was Murgon 7 sets 63 games to Wompoos 5 sets 40 games.

Wikings can come in many different shapes and sizes. With a few of us injured, ill or busy with life’s other events we were very lucky to find 6 players on Sunday. So, thank you to all our team of Andrew, Rob, Pauline, Maree plus our amazing subs - Ian Matthews and Mike O’Keeffe both from Gympie. We had some surprising sets, some losses and some gains. Score at the end of the day Gympie 9 sets 60 games to Witta 3 sets 37 games.

Pattemore House Open this Saturday

This Saturday 29th July Fairview (Pattemore House) will be open again from 1.00 - 4.00 pm. This is another chance for you to see a wonderful view of Maleny’s dairying past at Maleny’s Qld State Heritage listed property.

The members of the Friends of Pattemore House would love to show you around this lovely farm house and its lovely garden. Meet the Families of Fairview.

Films, oral histories, family photos and wonderful displays illustrate its history, from the property's first land selection by timber man Joseph Eyles in 1880, through to its purchase and building of Fairview by the Pattemore family, then on through the eras to its more recent role as a unique heritage venue.

The unique displays at Fairview present a thoughtful insight into the way life was from its construction in 1907 by the Pattemore family until the last farming family, the Armstrongs, moved out in 1995. Delectable afternoon teas will be served on the verandas, and there are plenty of home-made jams and pickles ready for you to stock up on for your pantry.

There is plenty of parking, and disabled access. 15, Porters Lane 1.00 - 4.00 pm Saturday 29th July.

The Range Croquet Club - Maleny

We have had a great response to our outgoing invitation to our 30th birthday celebrations on 30th July with all three of our local politicians attendingLocal Councillor Winston Johnston, Federal Member Andrew Wallace and State Member Andrew Powell. Also, friends of our club from far and wide have RSVP’d to our invitation and we are looking forward to be welcoming everyone on the big day. We’re busy planning all sorts of tasty food for morning and afternoon teas and readying the BBQ for the lunchtime sausage sizzle.

Fun games are planned, including some novelty challenge games made for us by Dianne Horsman’s husband, Kevin. It will be a special time, celebrating who we are as a club today, as well as remembering those who founded the club 30 years ago and all who have contributed and participated over the years.

Our club championships are almost compete. In the Open category, Chris Borlase is our Club Champion, having played brilliantly to defeat Ken Barker in a best of three competition. The second game was very impressive, with Chris winning in 45 minutes, starting with a break of nine with the third ball and executing a faultless three ball peel when Ken missed his only chance of a roquet. The quality of Chris’ game was no surprise to those who had seen his play in the Queensland Open Singles recently.

Division 4 was won again this year by Wallace Roy who defeated Stuart Craig and Carole Atkinson ,who was the runner-up, to retain his title of Club

Champion Division 4. Congratulations Wallace – well played and better luck next year to the other Div 4 players who will be improving all the time and snapping at Wallace’s heels next year.

Division 3 was a very close contest between Lynette Evans and Dianne Horsman. The first two matches were won one apiece which made for a nail biting finish on match three. Lynette won match 3 to become Club Champion of Division 3. Well done to both these players who have improved their games markedly this year and proved themselves to be players to watch.

Division 2 is still to be

decided, with Sarah Widin having defeated Nick Cram in their first match. We are eagerly awaiting play on Monday 24th to see whether Sarah wins the second match to become Division 3 Club Champion or whether Nick comes from behind to win match two, forcing a decider to be played.
