2 QCCC Mapleton group news QCCC Mapleton hosts more than 300 individual group bookings every year. Very occasionally QCCC encounters a group whose program and attitude is irreconcilably incompatible with the facility. Over the last ten days QCCC Mapleton hosted a group using military strategies to work with at-risk youth. It was the first time Mapleton had hosted this group. They used excessively loud early-morning drill exercises and aggressive shouting at participants, somewhat different from the fun and encouragement usually associated with QCCC s activities. This camp has now concluded and QCCC has cancelled the next booking the group held with the facility. QCCC Mapleton management has taken immediate and decisive action and apologises for the actions of this group, and for any impact on our community. QCCC/Triballink works with a Commonwealth Games team: Several international teams trained on the Sunshine Coast before the Commonwealth Games. QCCC and the staff from Triballink were asked to provide a team-building activity for the Scottish women s hockey team as they transitioned from training to competition. Triballink s Kerry Neill told Dreamtime stories on Mudjimba beach and gave the team an opportunity to throw boomerangs and sample weaponry. QCCC s Andrew Grant took over with his father to describe the actions of the kilt-wearing Seaforth Highlanders on the Western Front 100 years ago. The pictures from the day were beamed around the UK on social media. 2

3 Hi everyone and a big thank you to all who turned up to support another great Sunday afternoon of music and bare foot bowling. It was great to have Bri Green back once again. Such a fantastic artist. Michael O Rourke performed a great set of original material along with a few interesting tales as well! The afternoon was rounded up with Georgia Delves and Patrick Wilson, who have nearly finished their NSW and QLD tour. We were lucky enough to catch them as they were passing through.both of them great writers and performers. A nice way to end the day. Thanks again to all who attended, and to everyone who helped put the day together. See you all in May! Mapleton Bowls Club - Winners of social bowls on Saturday 7/04/2018 with 2 plus 23 ROY.

4 Community Service Dog Owners: At the recent MADCA meeting, the off dog leash area for Mapleton was raised once again. If you are interested in progressing this possibility, please attend the next meeting and/or to record your interest. Speed through the Mapleton village shopping area raised once again at the MADCA meeting. If you support the idea of reducing the speed from 60 to 40 please register your support. MADCA would like to continue the campaign but we have been informed we need to be able to demonstrate strong community support. Without this show of support we are unlikely to achieve this goal.
