Clubs Tasmania
We trust that everyone had a relaxing break, and that you are all back into the swing of things in 2024. Clubs Tasmania has been busy planning for the first part of the new year and speaking to clubs & peak bodies to see what they need assistance with to help educate their clubs and sector. Late January members had the opportunity to attend Blundstone Arena in our first networking event of the year. Everyone was treated to a cricket classic as Australia played South Africa in the decider of the women’s T20 series, in a contest which went down to the wire in the last over, with the Aussies securing the win to claim the series. More than 100 attendees also had the chance to listen to two female Hobart Hurricane greats in Lizelle Lee and Naomi Stalenberg and hear their stories and success.
Moving forward, during March we will be holding a Digital Sponsorship Sessions which will be available statewide online, or clubs can attend these sessions in person at the Best Western Hotel in Hobart. At these sessions clubs will learn about challenges clubs face, how to retain sponsors and how clubs can make sponsorship deals more appealing and show sponsors you appreciate them. Also in March Clubs Tasmania will host an industry night in both Launceston and Hobart. Clubs will hear from the new Director of Active Tasmania Jamie Synnott, as well as Ryan Holloway from the Australian Sports Foundation. These industry nights are a great opportunity to network with other clubs while also providing an opportunity for representatives to speak with politicians and councils. In April we will be holding Asthma Educational Workshops in conjunction with Asthma Australia. Clubs will learn that playing sport and keeping active are important in health and wellbeing, and staying on top of asthma means that your players need not be sidelined or risk an asthma flare up. You’ll find out what to do in an asthma emergency and prepare your club to support your members with asthma. Come along to an Asthma and First Aid education session by Asthma Australia and receive a FREE Asthma Emergency Kit. These sessions were extremely well received last year. Clubs Tasmania acknowledges the continued support from our network of over 900 clubs, and we are committed to continuing to keep you informed and support your club and community, to decrease the workload on volunteers, reduce costs and increase revenue so your club can remain viable and sustainable. This March a special milestone will unfold for the Wynyard Golf Club, and we are proud to highlight the club’s approaching centenary on March 2024 this edition courtesy of club president Neal Bishop. Wynyard Golf Club prides itself on its friendly atmosphere and as the best little links course in Australia. Nestled between Bass Strait and the Inglis River, there are few courses in Australia that can compare for the sheer, unbridled beauty on offer when you play at Wynyard.

Throughout February we have also been holding our ever popular sports taping workshops, which are specifically designed for sports trainers, parents and volunteers. At these sessions we have physiotherapists from Back in Motion and PhysioTas on hand to help educate community clubs and enable attendees to learn specific care for injuries in contact sports.
