25 Oct 2017 by ccasport

THE Central Coast Academy of Sport is pleased to announce that Central Coast Registered Clubs have won a major award at the recently held 2017 ClubsNSW Clubs & Community Awards held at the International Convention Centre in Sydney.

The ClubsNSW Clubs & Community Awards are designed to celebrate and highlight the essential work done within the Club industry. The 2017 Clubs & Community Awards certainly did that. Major awards were recognised across multiple categories with the Central Coast Clubs taking top honours in the category Clubs in Collaboration Award with their joint work in the promotion and support of the Give Me Five For Kids program. Give Me Five For Kids was founded on the Central Coast with Sarah King the mastermind behind this great charity event. Forty-one (41) Central Coast Clubs who supported the initiative were rightly rewarded by ClubsNSW with recognition as the winner of the Clubs in Collaboration award.

The Award was received by Mr Phil Walker Chairman of ClubsNSW Central Coast Regional Committee along with other Committee members and Phil said on winning the award: “We will do it again next year because Project 41 brought together 41 clubs from our region to work on a project that is well connected to the Central Coast. Sarah King stared the Give Me Five For Kids about twenty years ago and this result is tremendous for the Clubs of the Central Coast, it shows the benefits of working together on a project like this”.

The evening was punctuated with a number of special performances and none more inspiring than the dance group Special Olympic Dancers, who performed ‘Pure Imagination’.

Ian Robilliard the Managing Director of the Central Coast Academy of Sport said on Central Coast Clubs winning the collaboration award: “Clubs from our region have a very strong affiliation to the Central Coast Academy of Sport, I often say we wouldn’t exist in our current form without their generous and important support. Clubs like Mingara, Mingara have supported us since day one and they make a significant contribution to our success, other clubs like Club Terrigal, Gosford RSL, Central Coast Leagues Club, Diggers at the Entrance, Avoca Beach Bowling Club, a number of the golf clubs all play an important role in our ongoing success. The support by ClubsNSW head office through the support to the RASi Education program is also vital to our success and the Academy Games have ClubsNSW as the principle partner. Clubs do a lot in the community and we are fortunate to have such a strong link to this industry so entrenched in supporting community endeavours”.
