ABOUT THE COMMITTEE
A number of committee members changed in 2023, after taking over from a committee that had successfully managed the club through COVID and dwindling club membership.
In 2023, the new committee increased the membership back to pre 2019 levels, and provided some new options for Junior members outside the traditional Term 1 / 2 Winter season.
Additional sponsorship options were also added to increase income to the club in 2023, in addition to the registration fees across the junior and senior grades.
The Senior Teams maintained their Premiership status in both Men’s and Women’s leagues.
We’ve now added additional committee members in 2024, and planning for an even bigger club environment in 2025.
