SIX WORKING COMMITTEES HAD BEEN FORMED UNDER THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT FESTIVAL CO-ORDINATING COMMITTEE, RESPONSIBLE FOR THE OPENING AND CLOSING CEREMONIES, ENTERTAINMENT PROGRAMMES, CARNIVAL, MURAL PAINTING COMPETITION, PUBLICATION AND PUBLICITY MATTERS.
THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT BOARD HAD SET ASIDE $230 000 TO SUPPORT THE FESTIVAL, WHILE SPONSORSHIP FROM BUSINESS FIRMS AND LOCAL ORGANISATIONS TO DEMONSTRATE THEIR SUPPORT FOR COMMUNITY AFFAIRS WAS ALSO WELCOME.
HE SAID THE AIM OF THE FESTIVAL WAS TO STIMULATE A GREATER SENSE OF DISTRICT IDENTITY AND ATTEMPTS WOULD BE MADE TO POOL TOGETHER VARIOUS COMMUNITY RESOURCES SO THAT ALL SECTORS OF THE DISTRICT WERE AWARE OF OR WERE INVOLVED IN THE FESTIVAL.
IT WAS ALSO HOPED THAT THE COMMUNITY SPIRIT ENGENDERED BY THE FESTIVAL COULD BE CAPITALISED TO PROMOTE CIVIC EDUCATION.
A THREE-COLOUR SOUTHERN DISTRICT FESTIVAL LOGO IN RED, BLUE AND YELLOW HAD BEEN ADOPTED.
+ IT FEATURES THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT BOARD LOGO OF AN ANCHOR SURROUNDED BY SIX STARS REPRESENTING THE DISTRICT'S SIX AREAS. AND SUPPORTED BY A PAIR OF WINGS REPRESENTING THE HIGH SPIRITS OF LOCAL RESIDENTS,+ THE SPOKESMAN SAID.
