19.01.2022 CLUB ANNOUCEMENT We would like to announce that David Keyhoe has decided not to extend his role as Chairman of the Melbourne Baseball Club.

David has been Chairman of the club for about seven years and has been an integral part of making the Melbourne Baseball Club a destination club for young and old. His development of the club facilities has made it the envy of many other clubs in the baseball community. His stewardship of our players and children has seen the club develop great talent that have played for our senior teams, local representative teams, Victorian teams and Australian teams. His passion for the club has been second to none and his devotion to the club in good time and tough times has been greatly appreciated by every single player, member and stakeholder in our baseball community. On behalf of the committee, Melbourne Baseball Club members, players, stakeholders past and present, I would like to thank David for his untiring effort of making this club a great place to be. Please be on the look out tomorrow where we will have more announcements regarding the club.

Thank you for your understanding. "Dear Sporting Club/Association There is a growing sense of anticipation about the easing of restrictions around the current COVID-19 pandemic. The National Cabinet have met today, but we need to wait to hear about the implementation for Victoria. The Victorian State of Eme...rgency is not due to expire until Monday 11 May. The Chief Health Officer of Victoria has issued a set of Directions that have the effect of law in Victoria, and they remain in place. Until they expire, or are replaced, we must still comply with them. In accordance with Federal and State Government directives all venues and sporting activities supported by Whitehorse City Council (Council) through the provision of Council facilities are closed until further notice. This has been communicated via email and letter to your club/association in March. We take this opportunity to remind all clubs/associations that until you receive further communications with directives from Council you are expected to comply this means no access to pavilions/club rooms, sports fields/courts/greens or other facility in which your activities take place until further notice. Thank you to everyone for your cooperation in this to date. Council is currently working through its recovery and recommencement of activity plans for all Council facilities in conjunction with the Victorian Government and State Sporting Associations. Victorian government announcements are expected the week commencing Monday 11 May 2020; a plan for the resumption of sports/activities in Whitehorse will be communicated by Council to all stakeholders, as soon as practicable. We reassure you that Whitehorse City Council is very keen and working hard to have sports happening in our community once again and will share with your club/association information about when and how recommencement of activity can occur as soon as we are able to. We ask for your patience during this time and support in allowing Council to focus on recovery and recommencement of activity plans.
