To the AFL Mackay Community,
On behalf of Dion and I, we would like to thank you for your dedication to the growth of AFL in Mackay. After 5 years in Mackay, we are privileged to have worked alongside the incredible volunteers that drive AFL throughout the entire region including Mackay, Whitsundays and the Central Highlands. The AFL Mackay League will continue to grow from strength the strength if we all bound together as one united AFL Mackay Community. We strongly encourage each and every one of you to get behind the AFL Mackay Executive, put your hand up for a role at your club and remember that AFL is just a game – a game we are all passionate about!
Junior football in our region is highly promising – with plenty of young talent coming through the system. At grassroots level, AFL continues to expand in our region and let’s continue to produce a family-friendly, safe and quality environment for our kids – the future of our game. Ladies football is an outstanding and now permanent part of our AFL Mackay League – well done to all concerned in making this a reality.
Lastly, I would like to thank our hardworking team at AFL Mackay House. Denise, Debbie, Finlay have done an outstanding job over the years and have a wealth of knowledge and commitment to continue to grow the game throughout the region. We would also like to recognise our excellent casual staff Jordan, Cody, Liam, Josh, Tim, Tom, Lyneeka and Rahnee – well done on a successful 2014 with 64% participation growth in 2014, the highest in regional QLD.
We will certainly miss working in footy in Mackay – most of you are aware I am moving on to Manage the Brisbane North Region in 2015 and Dion is pursuing a new pathway as a secondary school teacher. We both extend our best wishes for the future and will keep in touch.
We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and New Year, be safe and enjoy the time with your families.
Always remember the motto – ‘The harder you work, the luckier you become!’
Regards,
David Penguin Harding and Dion Obst.
