Clubs Tasmania
I hope everyone had a lovely Easter break and I trust you all got to spend some much-needed time with their family and friends. Last month Clubs Tasmania partnered with Digital Ready and King Thing Marketing to help and navigate the tricky world of social media for clubs around Tasmania. We rolled out four Digital Marketing Sessions, where we had around 75 people attend and were very well received. We have also held several Sports Taping workshops around the state, where we have seen close to 200 people attend the last four sessions. These workshops are free and provide education for club volunteers and parents to learn specific care for injuries in contact sport. These workshops could not be done without the support of Back in Motion, PhysioTas and Elastoplast. These workshops will continue to run through the year, so keep an eye out on our Facebook page and newsletters for dates. Over the next few months Clubs Tasmania has partnered with Scala to roll out 13 RSA (responsible service of alcohol) sessions around the state to assist clubs and hospitality venues in regional areas of Tasmania. If you are interested in doing a course, please visit our Clubs Tasmania Facebook page. I am 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 17, and the other in Hobart on July 24 at Blundstone Arena. Lastly, 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 it is timely to recognise one of these unsung heroes in Leila (Margaret) Osborne OAM, who was honoured for her service to the community, service to sport and recreation despite the personal battles she has faced throughout her life.
Margaret Osborne was born on Flinders Island in 1942, where she lived until she contracted polio aged 10 and spent 12 months recovering, followed by 60 years of walking on callipers and crutches. She has been confined to a wheelchair for the past decade, however, her trademark “get on with it” approach has seen her breakthrough her own barriers and contribute remarkably to the East Coast community. After 22 years serving on Break O’Day Council, four of which were as Deputy Mayor, Margaret retired last October. During her tenure Margaret served on various Council sub-committees such as Disability, Community, Sport & Recreation, Finance and Planning. She also represented Council at LGAT and ALGAT conferences as well as on the East Coast Regional Tourism Association and the local Chamber of Commerce.
Margaret is known to be a kind and giving woman who
