 Kathleen MATTHEWS-WARD (Broadmeadows) (13:00): I also want to give a big shout-out to the Italian Golf Association, which held its annual tournament last Monday at the Northern Golf Club in Glenroy. Founded back in 1972, the IGA has grown into a wonderful organisation that brings golf lovers together for tournaments and social events throughout the year. As club president Frank Costanzo said:

IGA has evolved and grown over the years and nowadays is not only comprised of members of Italian heritage but is a multicultural organisation open to all, regardless of background or gender. About 80% of our group live or were raised in the northern suburbs – and that’s something we are most proud of.

Congratulations on another fantastic event, and I thank Joe Perri for bringing this amazing organisation to my attention.
