THE HAWKA MID-YEAR REVIEW | FROM THE PRES.

Posted on by

Our Senior President, Greg “Flash” Hannon has a message for the club community at the mid-point of the season as we head into the June long weekend.

It’s hard to fathom that we are at the halfway point of the season already. What’s not hard to fathom is that our teams are having great success which is not only due to talent but also hard work from the Board, Committee, Coaches, and the army of Volunteers that continue to support our club! 

So – I wish to acknowledge and thank the following:

~ Our players are all just quality people and terrific ambassadors for our club! Keep supporting our functions and keep using your drive, energy, and initiatives to make our club grow and improve.

~ Our coaching staff are not just great coaches but they all build meaningful relationships with their players and care about the wellbeing of each individual at our club.

~ Our Incredible volunteers range from Committee Members to Board Members to the many that just give a little of their time to ensure our club can tick along nicely. Without our volunteers, we just don’t have a club so a huge thank you to you all!

~ To our Hawks Nest Coterie leadership, our Coterie members and to all our supportersthat give our club undivided support on and off the field.

~ Our loyal sponsors. Our sponsors give us the funding that we require to operate a successful club. Thank you to all of you!

~ To the families of our players. Your support behind the scenes often goes unnoticed. You feed, clean, and offer emotional support to your child, husband, wife, partner, parent and we thank you for that. I’m sure our players do!

$1.2M for the new Clubrooms

Posted on by

From our great supporter, Jackson Taylor MP: “$1.2 million to help deliver a new pavilion at Tormore Reserve in Boronia is now fully funded. In other words – you beauty!”

It was a four year journey for me since elected in 2018 to get to the commitment of $1.2 million to deliver new facilities for Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club and Boronia Cricket Club, but it’s been an even longer journey for them.

So this is an exciting moment. With funding now in the budget that means we can move a step closer to delivering the facilities these legends and the broader community deserve.

$1 million will go towards delivering the new pavilion and $200,000 will go to helping the clubs fit-out the rooms – which means a lot of the stress that usually comes with a new home.

It’s no secret. I’m a massive supporter of grassroots sports and unashamedly so. I believe in it’s power to change lives.

And with these new facilities – it’ll make that job even easier and encourage more people to get involved, particularly girls and women who maybe couldn’t have due to the dated facilities not being fit for purpose.

This will change all that. Now, let’s get on with it!

MESSAGE TO ALL BHFNC PLAYERS, MEMBERS, AND SUPPORTERS

Posted on by

I wanted to write to you all to address an incident on Saturday during our senior game, between our captain Harry Burgess and Templestowe’s Cameron Cloke. As a result of this incident, both players have been offered penalties for the reported conduct.

The BHFNC has decided to accept the penalty offered to Harry.

As a club, we pride ourselves on teaching and playing the game with the right spirit and Harry has consistently demonstrated nothing other than commendable conduct throughout his playing career.

We extend our best wishes to Cameron Cloke and the Templestowe Football Club.

BHFNC Board Update

Posted on by

There has been a couple of changes with the Club’s Board of Directors.

Firstly, we farewell Kerryn Westcott, Director of Community & Inclusion. Kerryn is stepping down from the board to focus on her many other volunteer roles. Kerryn has done a phenomenal amount of work for the club, sourcing every grant possible to improve our facilities and offer more to our community. She will be sorely missed but we wish her all the best.

Secondly, we welcome Veronica Rankin into the role of Director of Administration for 2023. Veronica is no stranger to the club, her son has played in our junior ranks and now a member of our Men’s program. Veronica has been a past under 19s Team Manager, one of the most organised, so we are so pleased to have her leading the charge in all things admin this year. Tanya Parkins will step in one last time helping us get Veronica up to speed, we thank her again for her support.

We are still on the hunt for a Director of Finance – if you or you know someone who is interested please reach out to Kat McMahon akathleen@me.com

At this stage, we won’t formally replace the Director of Community & Inclusion, however if this role is of interest to you please also reach out.

Chairperson, Kat McMahon
