Our mission as the Rathdowney & Districts Memorial Grounds Association Inc. (RMG), is as follows.
We are located in the heart of the Scenic Rim as a not-for profit organization that maintains & develops the Rathdowney Memorial Grounds for the benefit of the local rural community and visitors alike. We provide a safe, inclusive and non-threatening space for younger and older generations alike, A place to enjoy different events and activities.
This includes a sports ground, horse & equestrian complex, amenities, canteen facilities, meeting places and offices. A place where the community has a functional space to get together that is safe and a place where people can socialize that otherwise might be isolated or marginalized. Furthermore, we are in the position and able to respond quickly and effectively to local emergencies and natural disasters, working with emergency responders to create an emergency hub with our oval being used for helicopter evacuations.
Our aim is to provide a welcoming and functional area for all. Planning into the future to develop the RMG further includes extra sporting facilities and updated lighting to enhance our complex, all for use of the community with emphasis on the upcoming younger generations.All our Facilities are available for hire for more information please email secretary@rathdowneymemorialgrounds.org
