We would like to acknowledge outgoing committee member Jim King for his outstanding contributions during his tenure as Providore, surprise raffle extraordinaire as well as being the driving force in the design, grant funding and installation of our new bar. You have done amazing work Jim during a short period of time and will be sorely missed during your extended Australia wide vacation. We would also like to acknowledge your wife Kathy for her valuable service and support and look forward to seeing you both back on the green in Maleny.

It is also appropriate to give a special thanks to our band of volunteers who have devoted time and effort in ensuring our continued success.

We welcome new Board members Jim Wiedman (Deputy Chairman), Bryan Fripp (Providore) and Judith Lees (Director).

The incoming committee look forward to working together overseeing our continued growth whilst maintaining the intimacy of our great club.

Australia is getting ready to host the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast (which is going by the handle ‘GC2018’) and there’ll be plenty of people heading to Queensland to watch the Games live.

For those of us who won’t be able to make their way to the sunny shores of the Gold Coast to see the action, the good news is that all the sporting action will be broadcast live and free.

Between April 4-15, the Commonwealth Games will be broadcast to a global audience of about 1.5 billion people, and below you’ll find Aussie instructions on how you can keep up with the athletes from 70 nations and territories competing for the 852 medals to be won.

Mark the calendar The 21st edition of the Commonwealth Games will be the biggest sporting event to be held on the Gold Coast, although Australia has hosted the games four times already.

The opening ceremony, in all its colourful grandeur, will be held on Wednesday, April 4, and the next 11 days will see a full schedule of sporting events, including athletics, swimming and gymnastics, just to name a few.

You can check the ​entire schedule​ on the ​GC2018 website​ to find out when your favourite athlete or event is on

2018 Commonwealth Games on TV Outbidding Network Ten after the 2014 Glasgow Games, the Seven Network currently holds the exclusive Australian broadcast rights to the 2018 Commonwealth Games.

With events kicking off at 10:30am AEST each day, you’ll be able to watch all the action live and free across the channels operated by Seven – Channel 7, as well as 7Two (channel 72) and 7Mate (channel 73).

Channel 70 will, of course, have everything in glorious HD. Streaming the 2018 Commonwealth Games If you’d rather be streaming the action live online, you can head to ​7Plus​, Seven’s online platform that provides a live feed to all the free-to-air channels in the network. The 7Plus mobile app is also available to download from Android’s ​Google Play Store​ or the iOS ​App Store​ if you’d like to keep up with each event while you’re out and about.

Seven has also repurposed its dedicated 2018 Winter Olympics app to become the GC2018 app. Like that Winter Olympics app, the 7CommGames app could potentially cover more than just live streaming – it’ll likely also include news, medal tallies and the option to choose from multiple events.

The app is available to download on the ​App Store​ and the ​Google Play Store​. As with the Winter Games app, the 7CommGames app is also being offered on ​Fetch TV​ and ​Apple TV​ as well.

Note that while the app’s free to download, users will have to contend with advertisements and can only stream in standard definition.

However, like the Winter Olympics app, a one-time payment of $14.99 will not only remove most ads but also show every event in HD. Article by ​TECHRADAR
