Melton Country Club

We would like to thank the Melton Country Club for their generosity as we successfully applied for a grant from them to purchase some starting and finish line timing equipment to use in our carnivals. The grant allocation amounted to $1807. This follows up our successful submission to them last year for approx. $2000 to help pay for 40 new netball dresses to fit out our high performing netball teams. Their community generosity is very much appreciated and has taken a lot of pressure off the Sports budget over these two years.
