To Abbie, on behalf of the club, thank you for all that you do for us here at YGTC - you have helped make this an amazing place to be.

See Events for the Details. There are a number of Committee members who are not seeking re-election and/or looking to reduce their roles for various personal reasons, so we are keen to hear from anyone who would be interested in a role at the Club - big or small.... There are heaps of options including, taking on one of the Office Bearer roles, assisting one of the Office Bearers (i.e. Assistant Treasurer), joining a focused Sub-Committee (i.e. Fundraising or Maintenance etc), assisting with one off projects or taking on a small routine task on a regular basis. We are confident we have the perfect role to suit individual interests, time restrictions, age and skill levels. We are also keen to have some new faces with fresh ideas. If you have any interest, please PM us or contact Scheryl on 0417 528 704.
