Hi Members,

which was held at Oatley
Memorial Park.

THE PENSHURST RSL PANTHERS
JUNIOR AFL CLUB Welcome back to all returning
Panthers and their families with a
special embrace and welcome to all
new Panthers. It was simply
fantastic that we could finally start
the junior footy season on Sunday
after weeks, and in some cases
months, of preparation. We would
like to thank our hard working
committee and coaches for the
work they put in during the off
season to get our Club ready for
another season of football.
Our teams were scattered far and
wide on Round 1, but the mighty
green and white Penshurst RSL
Panthers will have a fine season in
2015. Our 2 older teams are now
playing Sydney wide and the
Penshurst RSL logo is now on
display from Manly to Heathcote
and beyond! We are very fortunate
to have quality volunteers and
professionals across all facets of our
club. From the first round they
have pulled together to make match
days a success.
During the off-season we achieved
the Bronze Level of the AFL Quality
Club Program. Part of the process
was revamping or creating a
number of very important policies
that will help us with the
governance of providing a happy
and safe environment so that all of
our players can properly enjoy the
experience of junior footy. These
policies include our new Code of
Conduct, Compliance with Working
with Children Practices, Smoke Free
Policy and Respect & Responsibility
Program. In coming weeks we’ll
upload all these policies onto our
website so that they are accessible
to all.
On 19 April a number of players and
families also represented the club at
the Anzac Commemorative March.
Thanks to the RSL and sub-branch
for hosting the kids from all the
sporting clubs in fine fashion once
again. We still have room for new
players across most age groups so if
you know someone interested in a
great game please refer them
across. The website has all the
contact details.
As always thanks for your support
and see you round the grounds!

TRAVEL CLUB PENSHURST RSL
Twice a year, the travel club aims to run a Mystery Trip. These are always very popular and book out quickly and the first one for this year was on Thursday 26 February. Despite the odd hold-up in Sydney’s peak hour traffic, our Pegasus coach made good progress and morning tea was held at the virtually deserted Tench Reserve on the Nepean River at Jamisontown. This is normally a popular spot with freshwater fishing, eco-tours etc., and is the departure point for the lovely Nepean Belle Paddlewheeler.
From there, we headed up to North Richmond and Kurmond, a very pretty drive. On the Bells Line of Road, we arrived at the “mystery”, the Kurrajong Radio Museum, and were greeted by the
very amiable Pat and Ian O’Toole who run it. Pat had prepared another morning tea which we enjoyed whilst ambling around this fascinating place which was much larger than it looked from the outside. Ian, being a former school teacher and a real radio buff, was the perfect person to speak on the history of radio in Australia and the old radio serials which were one of the main sources of entertainment before the advent of TV.
Time for one last wander around this extensive local and international collection before setting off for lunch – again another mystery! It turned out to be the Warragamba Dam picnic area also deserted - one of the benefits of visiting these places mid-week. A more-than-sufficient
barbecue lunch followed, accompanied by a glass or two of wine and a cleverly prepared dessert by our organiser. We spent a very pleasant couple of hours here ending with a quick visit to the dam itself and were back at Penshurst by 5.30 pm.
If you’d like to join our Travel Club, do come along to a monthly meeting – always in the Club’s auditorium on the first Wednesday of the month from 6.45 pm, or see us in the bistro on the third Monday of the month between 5 – 6 pm. We may be contacted on 9533 5809 or by e-mail: [email protected]. There is also a website which we endeavour to keep up to date: http://pentravelclub.weebly.com.
