Locals pitch protest to save rec centre - Save magnetic Island Camp
EMMA CHANNON | November 19th, 2012
ABOUT 60 Magnetic Island residents rallied at the Active Recreation Centre in a move of "people power" yesterday, to try to keep the centre's doors open.
Led by local identity David "Crusty" Herron, the group gathered to try to send a message to the State Government, summed up on the placards that were waved about: "Save our camp".
Former state member for Townsville Mike Reynolds, who helped save the centre in 2008 when then-premier Anna Bligh threatened its closure, said "people power" would save it again.
