Future priorities

LEITCHVILLE Gunbower Football Netball Club has become the third local organisation to work with Sports Focus to help identify issues and determine future priorities.

Sports Focus has previously worked with Cohuna Golf Bowls Club and Kerang Football Netball Club.

It is one of numerous initiatives helping the Gannawarra’s continued recovery from the 2022 floods.

By participating in the six-month program, Leitchville Gunbower Football Netball Club aims to develop an action plan to foster its growth as an inclusive place to participate and socialise.

“There is always room for continued improvement as a club and we hope the program will provide some impetus and new ideas for attracting new volunteers and easing the load on fatigued volunteers,” club vice president Matt Hawken said.
