We all feel a thrill when we see people from our community compete at the highest level and bring home a medal to prove it. However, 80 per cent of local talented athletes struggle with the cost of training, equipment, travel, nutrition and competition involved in progressing their sporting dream.

We believe the Club is a vital asset in promoting the health and wellbeing of the local community but we need help to preserve these facilities.
