CLUBS TASMANIA UPDATE
AndrewMoore - Clubs Tasmania Project Manager
Clubs Tasmania helps keep clubs shipshape with hand sanitiser donation Clubs Tasmania, part of the Tasmanian Hospitality Association, has helped to facilitate the distribution of a generous donation of commercial grade hand sanitiser from Tasmanian business Shiploads to the state’s sporting and community clubs. Shiploads has donated 60,000 litres (over $500,000 worth) of hand sanitiser to clubs across Tasmania, helping community organisations to minimise costs and ensure they comply with Government COVID requirements. Clubs Tasmania Project Manager Andrew Moore said the donation will help reduce costs for community clubs. “Clubs are largely run by volunteers so we’re really pleased to facilitate the distribution of this generous donation to help reduce costs so they can keep thriving. If we look at the expenses that we’ve tracked in the last 12 months, most clubs are spending between $800 and $1400 per year to ensure their club is safe and compliant with bacterial wipes, stands and hand sanitiser. Multiply that by the 800 community clubs across the State and 600 sporting clubs that’s a massive investment, so hats off to Shiploads for investing into the community club industry” Moore said.
Clubs Tasmania member Netball Tasmania and netball clubs in junior and senior leagues across the state are among the beneficiaries. Netball Tasmania Event Manager, Kirsten Palfrey said “We will receive about $70,000 worth of sanitiser products. It’s a huge cost reduction for us and we’ll be using the products at local leagues around the state as well as at the under 17 and under 19 National Championships which are being held in Hobart in July. Clubs Tasmania told us about the initiative and we’re really thankful to both Clubs Tasmania and Shiploads in helping us keep our community safe and comply with the COVID safety plans we have in place.” Clubs can organise an allocation of the 1.5L or 5L bottles of 75% alcohol sanitiser for collection at any of Shiploads 13 stores statewide by contacting Clubs On Monday 17 May, we attended the 2021 Working it Out ‘IDAHOBIT’ awards and brekkie.
