Three lucky community groups have won a free supply of paint to freshen up their premises from the Haymes Paint Shop Helping Hand Campaign.
Gympie Meals on Wheels, Tewantin Noosa Cricket Club and Tewantin Traders Association are the three lucky winners, with one of these groups set to win the major prize of a tradesman to help them get the job done.
President of The Tewantin Noosa Cricket Club Brett Lea said it was a fantastic result for the club.
“It’s much appreciated from the local business supporting our local people,“ he said.
“It’s going to help us tremendously going forward where we can touch up or start the repaint of our much needed club rooms, inside and out, and hopefully we’ll have enough to even look at our white picket fence,“ he said.
Brett said as a non-profit club they run a working bee once a year where members give a helping hand.
“We’ll call on all our members to bring a paint brush down. We’ve got a very good core group of members from juniors to mums and dads, male and female cricketers, and even old members,“ he said.
“We’ve also recently received a grant from the state government for $20,000 to upgrade our facility which was much needed.
“We’ve had a fair bit on over the last two to three years with projects completed but we always need to move forward with future projects.“
