As a community-based sporting club, Wynnum Manly Touch Association relies on volunteers to keep its four playing fields game-ready. Looking for a more efficient line marking solution that reduced painting time and delivered longer-lasting, professional-looking results, the club turned to Signet.
Since 2021, Wynnum Manly Touch Association (WMTA) has provided a welcoming place for people of all ages and levels to enjoy touch football. From juniors taking their first steps onto the field to experienced competitors, the club is committed to creating an environment where everyone has the opportunity to develop their skills, stay active and be part of a supportive local community.
“A like-minded group of parents and friends started Wynnum Manly Touch Association to give kids and families in our local area the opportunity to play touch closer to home. It's a safe, approachable and fun way for all ages to get into sport, and it's a great stepping stone for Rugby League or Union.“ – Craig Searston, President, Wynnum Manly Touch Association
Like many community sporting clubs, WMTA relies on volunteers to prepare and maintain its playing fields. Committee members, coaches, parents and supporters all contribute across multiple roles to keep the club running smoothly, leaving limited time and resources for ongoing field maintenance throughout the season.
With three large playing fields and a junior field requiring regular line marking, the club needed a paint that would deliver highly visible, long-lasting lines while reducing the need for frequent repainting. Dissatisfied with their existing product, they sought a local supplier that could provide a more reliable field marking paint.
“We have a small but dedicated volunteer group. With the previous marking paint, we were just having to use it too often to achieve the results we needed.”
Looking for a better solution, WMTA turned to Signet's Own Field Marking Paint and quickly noticed the difference. It was compatible with their existing line-marking machine, easy for volunteers to use and significantly reduced the time spent painting each field.
“Now, with Signet's Own Field Marking Paint, we are using 50% less paint, it lasts far longer and it's of a better standard”
Specially formulated for grassed sporting fields, Signet's Own Field Marking Paint mixes at four parts water to one part paint, with each 15L drum producing up to 75L of ready-to-use paint.
Compatible with most major line marking machines and drying in as little as 15 minutes in sunny conditions, their new field marking paint helps WMTA prepare quality playing surfaces quickly and efficiently, giving volunteers more time to focus on the players, the club and delivering a great game-day experience.
Well-maintained fields are the foundation of every successful game. With a reliable paint, WMTA now spends less time on preparation and more time creating a safe, welcoming environment where players of all ages can develop their skills, build friendships and enjoy the game.
“I play touch football with Wynnum Manly because it's a great club and I get to play with my mates. What I would say to someone looking to join our club - we’re very friendly, just come down, watch us play and have a go.“
– Jack, Under 16s Player, Wynnum Manly Touch Association
