We have more than 1000 active participants from more than 600 local families and strong community relationships with local businesses and organisations. The WBA has emerged into one of the strongest and most successful Associations in the region and this is due to the hard work of a small band of volunteers who manage the activities of the Club.

We take our role in the community seriously and we offer financial assistance where it is needed. We foster strong family and community connections, provide a place to participate for all skill levels and focus heavily on establishing and maintaining a good club culture.
