The South Burnett PCYC in Murgon will begin an eight-week trial on May 11 of a Saturday night program which aims to cut youth crime in the area.<\/p>\n

PCYC manager Acting Sgt Rene Bond said a community meeting held in Murgon on Thursday night to discuss the trial had gone very well.<\/p>\n

“Everybody is excited. A lot of community organisations and businesses have put up their hands to sponsor it,” Sgt Bond said.<\/p>\n

A second planning meeting will be held on April 24 to confirm the final details but a basic program has been worked out.<\/p>\n

The program will begin about 7:00pm, to be followed by a sit-down dinner at 8:00pm, prepared by volunteers.<\/p>\n

Activities would then begin and run until they begin to wind down about 10:30pm.<\/p>\n

About 11:00pm, people would begin being transported back home.<\/p>\n

Sgt Bond said the activities would not all be sports.<\/p>\n

There would also be hobbies and music.<\/p>\n

“We are still looking for more volunteers to help out,” Sgt Bond said.<\/p>\n

“We need volunteers to help supervise activities, or perhaps teach a hobby.<\/p>\n

“Or they could bring their own kids along to be a part of it.”<\/p>\n

Organisations, businesses and individuals sponsoring the trial include:<\/strong><\/p>\n
