This morning I attended the final meeting of the Maroondah Writers and Readers Festival for 2008. The meeting discussed the feedback and community response to the inaugural Maroondah Writers and Readers Festival and to decide on the future of the event.
It was encouraging to see a strong community response to the festival demonstrating community support for the continuation of the event. As a result the committee decided that the festival should return in 2009 but will comprise of a series of regular events throughout the year. This will allow the festival to cover a diverse range of genres and writing styles and to encourage an ongoing community involvement in literature and writing.
Thank you to everyone that assisted in preparing for the Festival and to the many members of the community that attended the events.

The Ringwood Spiders, based at Jubilee Park, is a football club for people with disabilities and is part of a 14 team league organised through the Football Integration Development Association (FIDA).
Tonight’s function provided an opportunity to meet both current and new football players who will be representing Ringwood throughout the season. Players have been busy training to prepare themselves for matches against clubs such as Moonee Valley Magpies, North Ballarat Knights and Maribyrnong Bulldogs.
As a community based club the Ringwood Spiders is seeking assistance from the local community. While Council does provide some support, the club is exploring innovative ways and increasing their resources while also strengthening connections with the local community.
The club has recently launch the ability to sponsor a player allowing businesses and individuals to support the club for just $150 per annum.
The Ringwood Spiders are playing four home games this season with all games commencing at 11am.
The enthusiasm, excitement and comradely from the team has never been stronger and I am certain that the Ringwood Spiders will do extremely well this season!
