BRAD CURTIS
ANNOUNCED AS NEW LIFE MEMBER OF THE WJFC.
To award a Life Membership is the
highest honour that the club can bestow upon someone and it was
with enormous pleasure and pride that Brad Curtis was awarded Life
Membership by the WJFC at the BGNO last Saturday night. Brad
becomes only the eleventh Life Member of the club which is just
reward for his passion, dedication and commitment to the Warrandyte
Junior Football Club in past years.
Brad was Registration Secretary
for more years than any one can care to remember and was also Team
manager for his son’s team for just as long. On top of all of that,
Brad was always the first person to stick up his hand for anything
else that needed to be done at the club. When presenting him with
his Life Membership, club President Phil Ashfield noted that he is
a man that is short in stature but huge in his contribution to the
club. He has also been a great character around the club and his
personality, sense of humour and humility have always made it a
pleasure for those around him to be associated with
Brad.
Whilst not being officially
involved with the club for a few years now because of the fact that
his son is now playing senior football at Warrandyte, Brad still
takes an active interest in the junior club and is still a regular
at club functions and family nights where he is a most welcome
guest.
Congratulations Brad on your
Life Membership and we thank you for your many years of outstanding
service to the Warrandyte Junior Football club.
CLUB PERSON
OF THE YEAR AWARDED TO DAVID URE
We are pleased to announce that
David Ure was awarded the Warrandyte Junior Football Club ‘Club
Person of the Year’ (CPOTY) at last Saturday Night’s ‘Bloody Good
Night Out’ function.
The CPOTY is an award that is
presented annually to someone at the club who goes above and beyond
the call of duty for the betterment of the club. The award was
presented to David by club President, Phil Ashfield who paid
tribute to the amazing amount of work that David does at the club
in his role as Secretary.
The role of secretary is
probably the most important job at the club as they are the nuts
and bolts of the club. They are responsible for all administrative
matters (which are many), are generally the first point of call for
all queries, and they must liaise with and communicate all relevant
information to team managers, coaches and parents alike.
Not only does David perform
these duties with the utmost competence and efficiency, he works
tirelessly on so many other things that need to be done at the
club. As a small committee, unfortunately a lot of work is
concentrated on too few people and the work that David puts in
certainly goes beyond that of just Secretary. The fact that
everything runs smoothly on a Sunday is not just an accident. A
huge amount of planning goes into it and the team manager’s manual
that David produces at the start of the year is just one example of
the many ways that we ensure that every base is covered right from
the start. As well as all the other things that he does we must
also thank him for the enormous amount of work he put into Bloody
Good Night Out.
Congratulations
David on being a worthy winner of Club Person of the
Year.
