Knox Sport and Leisure Awards

Jackson TAYLOR (Bayswater) (16:41): I would like to recognise some individuals and local clubs in the Bayswater electorate who were recently recognised at the Knox Sport and Leisure Awards. The Club of the Year award was awarded to the Knox Obedience Dog Club. The Best Club-initiated Program award was awarded to the Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club for their Christmas toy and food drive program. The Club Person of the Year – Adult was awarded to Kristi Disney from the Templeton Cricket Club. I also want to acknowledge the six recipients of the Club Person of the Year – Junior awards. Years of service recipients for 20 years were Andrea Le Marquand from Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club, Simon West from the Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club, Jan Grice from the Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club; 30 years, Ellen Johnson from the Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club, David Murrihy – Murra – from the Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club; 50 years, Mick Kimmitt from – you guessed it – the Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club and Kay Kimmitt from the Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club; and a massive 40 years to Rick Turcinovic at the Basin Cricket Club. Congratulations to each of those individuals and clubs, who make our community that much better and make Knox what it is: the proud community we all love and know.
