New Club Rooms Funding Locked In
Congratulations Jackson Taylor MP in retaining the seat of Bayswater. With the results of yesterday’s election the Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club, Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club – Junior and Boronia Cricket Club have now secured the unprecedented amount of $6.2 million for our new facility. The next 24 months will see a lot of work being done in the planning and building of our new rooms! Go Hawka!
Brand Survey Outcomes
Thank you to all of those who took the time to complete our Brand Survey at the end of the 2022 season. The stakeholder survey was in relation to the brand, including the logo, uniform and merchandise colours.
We had a positive level of engagement with approximately 10% of playing members completing the survey, as well as many other stakeholders from across the club.
There were very passionate responses both for and against keeping the logo in its current form and varying opinions about the colours of uniform and off-field items. In the end, it was clear that the logo will remain in its current form.
Confirmation of this allows us to push ahead with other projects like refreshing merchandise and the website.
Thank you again to everyone who participated!
Mark Grice
A service to honour the life of Mark Grice will be held on Monday 21st November at 1:00pm at Heritage and Heritage Funerals at 733 Boronia Road, Wantirna.
Mourners are invited to also attend a wake from 3:00pm at the Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club Clubrooms at Tormore Reserve, Tormore Road Boronia.
A Message from Flash
The entire BHFNC should be mighty proud of its efforts over the past four weeks of hosting the Division One finals series.
The EFNL and competing clubs were lost for words in their gratitude for the organisation and efforts of our many, many volunteers over the month!
Headed up by Murra, our team worked cohesively and the many long days will now hold our club in greater financial strength as we move forward to our 2023 season.
To our early morning set up teams, to our bar teams, our burger teams, and canteen ladies, our traffic controllers, and our hlepers who kept carrying out stock to all the various tents, what an effort. In the coming few weeks we will be having a pleasant Sunday afternoon of thanks to all our helpers, I’ll get that date and time locked in ASAP.
Once all the bills are paid, we hope to announce our profit as it’s important all volunteers understand just how meaningful it is to the club to give so much of their time over the past four weekends.
Behind the scenes, we are working most nights to speak with potential recruits, plan our pre-season, reflect with trainers, and work diligently to ensure 2023 is an amazing year for the Hawka! Our coaches in all areas are now appointed and we hope you can all join us at one of our two presentation nights to properly give thanks and gratitude for this season.
Sincerely, thank you once again!!!
GREG HANNON, Senior President, BHFNC
New Kitchen Facilities for Tormore
One of our key objectives as a club is to make life easier for our volunteers by upgrading our facilities, equipment and technology whenever possible. With this in mind, we have recently invested in a brand new kitchen range for Tormore Reserve.
The purchase of the oven, griller and deep fryer was funded by the Club, together with a generous contribution from our co-tenants Boronia Cricket Club. For those who may not know, Ellen Johnson manages the kitchen and canteen for both clubs, doing a superb job throughout the seasons. Ellen is now supported by premium equipment to turn out match day snacks and regular meals for the teams and supporters on Wednesday and Thursday nights during the football season.
We are very grateful to Craig Brockley, our super-successful Men’s Development Squad Coach, who installed the new equipment through his firm, Brighton Gas Company. “Brighton Gas specialises in the servicing and repairs of gas products in Melbourne. When it comes to the servicing and repairs of gas heating for your home or gas cooking appliance repairs and servicing we can help”.
