NEW LOOK FOR UMINA TENNIS AND SPORTING CLUB

COURT 3 at the Umina Tennis and Sporting Club will be levelled and resurfaced with synthetic grass thanks to $19,446 in Community Building Partnership Program funding from the NSW Government.
 
Member for Gosford, Liesl Tesch MP described the resurfacing project as great news for the tennis club and the community.
 
“It is a key priority for NSW Government programs such as the Community Building Partnership Program to promote community participation, inclusion and cohesion. Projects such as this one here in Umina in our tennis community will go a long way towards achieving positive social and recreational outcomes for our community,” she said.
 
“Congratulations to the Umina Tennis and Sporting Club for their successful application under the Community Building Partnerships Program.”
 
Ms Tesch said the Umina Tennis and Sporting Club has recently joined the ranks of a wide range of organisations and projects funded under the Program.
 
Umina Tennis and Sporting Club President Neil Packer said the upgrade of court 3 would transform the facility into something he described as world class, to the benefit of the wider sporting community.
 
“The funding will go towards the re-surfacing of court 3 which is badly in need of a new playing surface. Also, the successful grant will go a long way to assisting in the ongoing provision of both soccer and tennis at the club.
 
“By providing a first class facility it will benefit both adults and children of all ages in the community to pursue a healthy lifestyle.”
 
The Community Building Partnership program has funded more than 19,700 community projects since it commenced in 2009.

LOCAL FRANCHISE OWNER IN RALLY

JAX Tyres & Auto Gosford franchisee owner, Peter Bonvino, will be participating in the upcoming spring Shitbox Rally, an iconic event that unites car enthusiasts to raise funds for the Cancer Council.

The Shitbox Rally is renowned for its unique and adventurous challenge, where participants drive cars, valued at less than $1,500, across Australia’s rugged terrain.

This year, Peter will team up with his brother-in-law Nathan Metcalfe for the second time, as the duo return as the Sons of AnaCamry.

Taking place from the October 18 to 26, participants will be making their way from Bendigo to Townsville for the 2024 spring edition.

Peter and his team are determined to complete the distance and plan to visit each JAX Tyres & Auto store on the way. Every donation made to Sons of AnaCamry will be acknowledged with a special mention on their Shitbox vehicle, honouring those who have been affected by cancer.

Last year’s rally raised over $2M for the Cancer Council, and that amount has already been surpassed in 2024, with $2,084,708 raised so far.

Peter said: “Everyone has had someone in their life affected by cancer; I lost my mother-in-law. By participating in the Shitbox Rally, we can make a difference and support those who are struggling. Our goal is to cross the finish line while raising as much money as possible and enjoying the event as a team. I am especially looking forward to the dress-up days, so be sure to follow along and check out what we get up to and how much money we raise.”
