DEFINING OUR BRAND | PROJECT COMPLETE

Posted on 21 July, 2023 by Dave

With the launch of our new hoodies this now completes an extensive project that we embarked on way back in August 2022 with our Brand Review survey. Information gained from this survey enabled us to take a closer look at our logo, colours and existing merch range.

A small team was formed soon after the survey and we went about establishing guidelines for our brand and conducting a complete review of potential suppliers of our merch. One supplier in particular stood out as they were professional and innovative from the outset and offered a service model that met our brief – they were ‘Your Clubroom’.

We officially engaged Your Clubroom in November last year to go about documenting our brand and to create options for us to consider for our new merch range. This included a review of colours, materials, and size fitment options – unisex and women. As a result, we have slowly rolled out a new range of beanies, scarfs, training shorts and singlets, polos, and last week, our new hoodies.

Today we are pleased to showcase our official documentation of this process – Boronia Hawks – Defining the Brand 2023. This has been a long journey, but I’d like to thank YOU, our passionate members for your feedback along the way. A special thanks to Jayden & Damon from Your Clubroom who supported our vision and guided us along the way. Lastly to Karen Butler and Maria Gagic who have been there from day one and will now manage selling our new range. Thank you for your patience and we hope you enjoy wearing our new merch!

IN MEMORY OF SYLVIA WEST

The BHFNC sends its sincere condolences to Simon ‘Horse’ West on the passing of his much loved mother Sylvia. Sylvia West had a stroke recently and unfortunately did not recover. Sylvia, also Nana to Kristan Wood was the mother of 8 children and as such obviously lived a very full life.

Headspace Community Cup

Posted on 20 June, 2023 by Dave

On Saturday, our Senior Men played The Basin at Batterham Park for the Headspace Community Cup.

Like all games against our local rival The Basin, the game was played in great spirit with our boys prevailing in the very windy conditions.

Both teams gathered post-game to hear from both Coaches on the importance of reaching out if you are experiencing a personal crisis.

If you are a player, coach, volunteer or supporter please reach out to a friend or teammate and let them know you need help.

Feel Good Moment of The Weekend!

Posted on 20 June, 2023 by Dave

The Dower boys (triplets) have amassed 174 Senior games between them since finishing with our Juniors but had never played together in the same team due to injuries etc, until Round 10 against The Basin.

Great young men, who epitomise Hawka culture. Keep up the good work boys. #Respect

THE HAWKA MID-YEAR REVIEW | FROM THE PRES.

Posted on 9 June, 2023 by Dave

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!

Flash (Greg Hannon) – Senior Club President
