The RACQ Foundation has helped the Nanango and District Netball Association bounce back after the heavy rain in January, thanks to a $20,000 grant.<\/p>\n

Association secretary Sheryl Wolski said the heavy rain seeped under the surface of their new netball courts, making them unsafe for the netballers to play on.<\/p>\n

The RACQ Foundation funding has enabled the club to seal the area between a new drainage system and the courts to prevent damage during future storms or cyclones.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe drainage works are useless without the sealant but with the $20,000 from the RACQ Foundation we\u2019ve rectified the problem,\u201d Ms Wolski said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a real downer after the flood damage as we\u2019d only just had new courts put in, but the funding has been a morale booster for our club and drives us to continue to strengthen the club in recruiting new members.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Nanango and District Netball Association runs a competition for children from four to 15 years old, with three cadet teams and three junior teams.<\/p>\n

This year they joined with the Kingaroy Netball Association to expand their competition.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re an active club \u2013 a definite strength in our community,\u201d Ms Wolski said.<\/p>\n

RACQ Executive Manager External Communications Lynda Schekoske said the Foundation was set up after the 2011 floods to help affected community organisations recover and charity organisations to provide ongoing assistance to flood and cyclone victims.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince then, more than 130 community groups throughout Queensland have been approved funding totalling just over $7 million from the Foundation,\u201d Ms Schekoske said.<\/p>\n

\u201cCommunity groups affected by this year\u2019s natural disasters can apply to the RACQ Foundation for up to $200,000 per project to repair, replace or rebuild their damaged properties, buildings and equipment and to protect against future damage.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe encourage other affected community organisations to apply for assistance before the next deadline for funding applications on January 7, 2014.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe assistance can help groups overcome financial hurdles to get up and running again, while providing protection against future disasters.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
