Dear Members,

I would like to introduce our new Club Coach, Brett Baldey, who has signed a 3-year KPI-driven contract to move our club forward, build on the work done by Lee Farrell, to help gain promotion, and win Pennants. Brett actively supports social bowls and events and wants to help build an inclusive Club culture and togetherness. The Board worked closely with the RSL Executive and secured their funding agreement for the appointment.
