29 finishing with a Bronze medal after several years of finishing 4 th . The club also took part in several coaching clinics, the first being at Garoke P-12 College, 400 kms west of Melbourne. We played netball related games with the junior school and a teacher & police vs. Students exhibition match at lunch time. We also took part in the 2009 International Children’s Day Festival at Flemington where we held informal coaching clinics for the local African children. These clinics and matches were a good way to promote a healthy lifestyle, promote netball and establish positive links with the young people and the community. The 2009/2010 season hopes to be a successful year for the club with a growing membership base and an increase in the tournaments that we are participating in. We plan to use our financial grant to help support and subsidise tournaments for our members and use it for the day to day running of the club. I thank you again for your support and assistance. Sincerely Belinda Jones Secretary Victoria Police Netball Club I write on behalf of the members of the Victoria Police Pistol Club Inc to express our sincere appreciation to you for your contribution to the Victoria Police Amateur Sports and Welfare Society Inc. Our club at present consists of 50 members. The grant $1,500 that was so kindly made to our Club will certainly be put to good use in the day to day running of the Club and in turn to the benefit of our membership. Once again from the membership, many thanks. A Chattington Secretary VPPC Inc. Thank you Recently my step-son had to spend seven days in the Royal Children’s Hospital due to a major operation he was having. Police Welfare and the Association funded accommodation. I’d like to thank you, on behalf of my wife and myself, for doing this for us. This made the time my step-son spent in hospital a lot less stressful and saved us about three hours travel every day. I’d also like to thank S/C Rose Treacy from Police Welfare for her assistance. Apart from sourcing the accommodation, Rose visited us at the hospital and gave a T. Bear to our son.
