Thank you to our volunteers
Now that we are all settling into our classes for another year it is a fitting time to say thank you to those who have worked so hard behind the scenes to make the start of this year run so smoothly. To our hard working volunteer committee, principal coach and our section reps, thank you for all that you do for our club. We could not do it without the hours of time you put into your roles and appreciate all your efforts.
Here are just a few of our fantastic volunteers.
