Just thought I'd share some news about some good fortune that has befallen our club. The 'Pine Rivers Model Powerboat Club'.
Due to a lot of hard work from the guys on the committee, the club has applied for, & received, a grant of $27,720, from the Queensland Governments' "Gambling Community Benefits Fund".
The Fund channels revenue from gambling taxes back into the community through Sporting clubs & non profit organisations.
We applied for the money to build a concrete slab & shelter for the pit area large enough to accommodate all the members so we don't have to set up our individual gazebos & tents etc each race day.
Trevor Ruthengerg MP came out on our last practice day & presented the Cheque.
The builder will have the bobcat there on Wednesday to do the excavations & the slab will be prepared & poured in the following week or so.
This is going to be great.
Cheers.
Paul.
