Clubs Tasmania
Throughout May and June, Clubs Tasmania partnered with Scala Training Company to run 13 RSA (Responsible Service of Alcohol) courses around the state. We have really focused on the regional area of Tasmania, and these sessions were well received as they were face to face. We also continued our popular Sports Taping workshops around the state. These workshops are free and provide education for club volunteers and parents to learn specific care for injuries in contact sport. These sessions could not be done without the support of Back in Motion, PhysioTas and Elastoplast. They will continue to run for the remainder of 2023, so keep an eye out on our Facebook page and newsletters for dates. Clubs Tasmania is also excited to announce we are holding two Inclusion and Diversity in Sport forums in July which should not be missed. We have some great organisations presenting – COTA, Paraquad, Aboriginal Community, Baptcare, Migrant resource Centre, Special Olympics and LGBTIQ+. We will be hosting one forum in Launceston at the Tailrace Centre on July 18, and the other in Hobart on July 25 at Blundstone Arena. Lastly, at the end of July and start of August we will be holding six leadership sessions across Tasmania for club committee and board members. These sessions are designed to help people who are new to a committee or board, and they also cover areas like roles of committee members, how to deal with conflicts, financials and forward planning. Clubs Tasmania acknowledges the continued support from our network of over 850 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. Volunteers are integral to this success, and when it comes to local football in southern Tasmania, it would be hard to find someone who has given back more than Bill Trethewie to the University Football Club.
Joining Tasmania University Football Club as a player in 1977, Bill Trethewie’s highly-respected 44-year career in football administration began in 1979 when he was appointed club secretary. Two years later he assumed the role of club President following an exodus of players and volunteers, and his dedicated ‘hands-on’ service during this period was instrumental in keeping the famous old club operational. After serving a second two-year stint as President in 1989-90, Trethewie has continued to serve the Rainbows in a variety of roles on and off the field in subsequent years, including leading multiple lower-grade premiership teams and often taking an important mentoring role with the club’s young players. There is no doubt that much of University’s success over the past four decades can be attributed to Trethewie’ s passion and dedication to a club he has stuck by through thick and thin, with the club holding a special place in his heart.
