Sports club in giving mood
THE Douglas Community and Sports Club, affectionately known as The Tin Shed, is in full swing for the festive season.
Club manager Kyle Livingston said the club was sponsoring the Port Douglas New Year’s Eve fireworks, the Mossman Christmas street parade and the children’s New Year’s Eve dance.
“We are finishing the year strongly by sponsoring end- of-year events in the Douglas shire,” he said.
Mr Livingston said members were also being looked after.
“There are eight hams to win every Friday. Proceeds from our raffles go to local sporting clubs,” he said.
“There are 12 Christmas hampers to win from December 1 and all members have to do is simply swipe your members card to win.
“The end of year major promotion is drawn on December 16. We have partnered with Mossman Hardware with $10,000 to spend at either Cairns Hardware or Mossman Hardware. Guests need to be members and here on the evening to win.
“This year we have been responsible for helping out many local community clubs and sporting clubs throughout the Douglas Shire.
“This includes over $30,000 in sponsorships and donations of almost $10,000 in voucher donations and $4000 monthly grants to clubs in need throughout the shire.”
They include the Tin Shed beach day, funding a shade structure for the volunteers of KIND kids, new uniforms for the JR Douglas heat basketball players and a shade sail for the boat and fishing club.
