EASTS WATER POLO CLUB

Ms JODIE HARRISON (Charlestown)—Based out of Charlestown Swim Centre, Easts Water Polo Club is working hard to make water polo accessible to the local community. The club caters for all skill levels and all ages, with teams from under twelves through to seniors. Easts has been working tirelessly to build a local water polo community, and successfully secured a 2021 Local Sport Grant to supply equipment to support a Flippaball Program and Under 12's Water Polo Competitions—which will go a long way to building skills amongst the next generation of players. Despite the setbacks suffered during 2020 thanks to COVID-19, Easts celebrated with an End of Season function at Kahibah Sports Club. U14s team coach Sam Bloomfield was awarded the Shane Arnold Trophy for successful contribution to Easts, having completed his accreditation to referee and always being around to help out. My thanks to the club committee, including president Matthew Bartlett, vice president Mark Davy, child protection officer Michaela Campbell, secretary Kay Dunford, treasurer Amanda Bubb and committee member Luke Dunford for their work. I wish Easts all the best with the 2021 season!
