On a local level our gymnasts, swimmers, soccer and badminton continue to reach great heights with a number of individuals and teams being recognised for the incredible achievements and we are looking forward to summer for the start of the cricket session. During the off season the club has provided funding support for new computerised coaching equipment and we look forward to seeing the results over the next few seasons.
One recent initiative has been the appointment of Jane Cooke as the Junior Sports Administrator and her role will be to oversee and assist the Junior Sports Clubs and will be a direct liaison with the Board and Management. This is another significant advancement in our dedication and commitment to the junior sporting organisations that we support.
