Over 800 people spent Sunday, August 26th at the Darfield Domain and Recreation Centre, attending this year’s ‘Have a Go Day’, in glorious weather. “It was a fantastic day, and I’m sure some of the young people will have gone from having a go, to being a perman ent participant,” said Senior Events and Recreation Advisor, Dave Tippett. Tippett One hundred and fifty, ‘Have a Go Day’ passports were returned and indicated that approximately 15% of people were willing to volunteer at a local club. This is fantastic news for local sport and recreation clubs, showing that there are plenty of people still willing to volunteer their time to help. “An example of this was evident at the Malvern Netball Centre’s demonstration where a number
of people had a go at umpiring. Some of these people now want to take their first time experience further,” a Netball spokesperson said. Malv er n Net ba l l C e ntr e organising group, Melissa George and Victoria Leech had a very busy day with over seventy people trying netball and having their passports signed off. They held a goal shooting competition which was a fabulous addition to their station and offered two Mainland Tactix’ balls as prizes. There was a large group of around thirty volunteers made up of Club and rep players, officials, Club committee members and Malvern members helping with this station. People aged from four to sixty three years old all had a go at netball.
