The Lincolnshire Echo, Thursday 8 Feb 01
Logo winners: Creative James Atkin (left) and Rikki Smith won £10 CD tokens after entering a competition to design a logo for a community leisure association.  The Metheringham Area Community Leisure Association (MACLA) was set up in May last year to coordinate leisure activities.  Macla chairman Geoff Brown said the competition was a good way to get young people involved in community activities.  
"Macla has been very successful in getting everyone in the local community together and it is a great way to let people know what is going on, in both sport and other activities," he added.  "We are holding a meeting in Metheringham Village Hall at 7:30pm on Tuesday, March 6 and we want as many people to come along as possible because we need to develop a strategy for applying for future funding.  It is important that we demonstrate to potential fund holders that the whole community is behind Macla and that we are acting for the benefit of the community as a whole."
A newsletter detailing Macla's activities and plans for the future will be sent out to around 2000 homes in the Metheringham area next week.  For further information contact Mr Brown on (01526) 321490
