PLAYER SPONSOR | MCR ELECTRICAL

Thank you to MACEY RYAN and MCR ELECTRICAL for Player Sponsorship of GEOFF BELL for the 2024 season.

“Joffa” has now racked up 31 games for Boronia Vets, and can always be relied on for 100% effort. The same can be said off-field where Geoff is one of our most dedicated and hard working volunteers, always lending a hand at Auskick and at match days. A great club man.

WE’RE LOOKING FOR SOCIAL & COMMS CONTRIBUTORS

We are looking for some extra volunteers who would be able to help spread the load of looking after our social media and other communications like email.

Rather than the responsibility sitting with just one or two, we are looking for a few motivated people across the playing groups and supporter base who can commit to taking on specific tasks on a recurring basis each week to ensure we can communicate all the great things going on at our club in a sustainable way as the club continues to grow. Depending on the time you’d like to commit you could take on one of the tasks or maybe a few.

You may already have some skills in this area, be keen to learn more or are just looking for a way to throw your hat into the ring. Any training you would need on the systems we use would be provided and most items are now templated.

Some of the key tasks include:

  • Women’s Football & Netball Team Announcements
  • Men’s Football Team Announcements
  • Game Day Score Updates & Saturday Scoreboard Summary
  • Sharing relevant updates during the week e.g., Hawka Lotto, posts from junior page
  • Sharing posts from other relevant pages e.g. EFNL, Premier Data, Media etc
  • Sharing photos after games
  • Promoting club & player sponsors, sharing relevant updates
  • Promoting community partner offers
  • Promoting club events & news
  • Managing and distributing an email newsletter (something new)
  • Replying to messages
  • We’d also be keen to hear from anyone who would like to volunteer their photography, videography or graphic design skills in any way throughout the season or on a regular basis.

If you are interested in putting your hand up, please email me at boroniahawksfc@gmail.com with your expression of interest!

Thanks

Jax Phillips, Director of Communications

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.

Ellen Johnson with her new commercial quality kitchen range.

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”.
