Well Christmas has come and gone, and the grass has remembered how to grow.  Happy New year everyone, we hope you had a good and safe Christmas break...2012 is looking exciting with many big events on the horizon. The QLD STA March event will be a good opportunity to listen to quality speakers and see the latest in product and machinery innovation, stay tuned for more details. The STA QLD Turf graduate of 2011 will be announced soon and that person will go to Melbourne for the Turf Conference in June. If you can try to get along to the turf conference this June 4-8 at the Melbourne Convention Centre. It will be a big event and should yield some beneficial information. In past years STA members received a discount so keep an eye out for this. The STA QLD AGM will be held in April and if you are thinking you would like to assist in the running of the association then please let the current committee know so you name can go into the voting process. More information will be coming out about this soon.

Our Newsletter HAS a name!!!!

After much debate over the nearly 50 entries the STA newsletter now has a name. From now on it will be known as Green Side Up and it is the official News Letter for the Queensland Sports Turf Association. The lucky winner will be happy to spend his $100 BCF voucher in preparation for upcoming Christmas Camping Trips. Thanks to everyone who put in a name, it was not an easy choice but hopefully everyone likes the name.
