Jets Junior Football Club held its end of season awards afternoon on Sunday 31 August for teams ranging from 11-year-old players to under 18-year-old girls’ team. The 10 and under players had their awards ceremony on Sunday 3 August.
Ian E, Judith, Bob W and President Mike represented the club and there were over 200 in attendance. Other club members were able to attend events during the footy season. Mike presented some of the awards.
The coaches all spoke very well, and passionately about their players as they received their award.
From the outset, one knows that this is a very well-run club with a volunteer administration of parents of players and an organisation structure which could have some similarity to a senior suburban football club or even higher level. The Club President for many years Joanne Hart – Parker, has been associated with the club since 1981.
There was a raffle, the top prize being a bicycle valued at several hundred dollars along with many other lower value prizes. First prize was won by Bob Williams who instantly became the owner of the bike. Bob tells me one of his grandchildren now has a new bike.
It was a terrific afternoon, and Nunawading Rotary was mentioned many times in addition to a prominently located retractable banner as well as on a digital screen. Our Premium Sponsorship is very much appreciated and this season we sponsored the Sports and Life Training sessions held during May and June which some of our members were able to attend.
