Exciting Times for Beau Porsche Centre Brighton is focused on our customers’ diverse communities. Encouragingly, many of our clients and staff participate in community sport to keep fit while staying connected as a local family.
O
ne currently booming community sport is soccer (or football, for those who play the game!). With the FIFA Women’s World Cup to be hosted in Australia in 2023, our local club, Beaumaris, has recently had some great news – a new sports pavilion will be constructed to meet its growing membership needs. Understandably, the news has been met with widespread elation and encouragement from the wider Beaumaris community. ‘We’d lobbied Council for 11 years,’ explains VP and Cayman GTS driver David Richards. ‘Finally, Council confirmed that the build commences shortly, to be completed by year’s end.
‘This is wonderful news for our 240+ women and girls who have been so patient in extending facilities well beyond their useful life,’ he continues. ‘Of course, all 650+ players, their parents and families will get to enjoy the new pavilion, which will include social meeting spaces, decent food and beverage facilities, and four large unisex changing rooms. ‘We’re also working with local conservation groups to ensure we achieve a reinvigorated landscape that will ensure the beauty of the Reserve is preserved for all.’ Others involved in the club share this enthusiasm. ‘Our youngest registered member is five, and our oldest is 64 – I know who moves the quickest!’ says registrar Maxine Thomson. ‘Our membership for the 2021 season closed in February, so with the existing superb FIFA Grade 1 facilities leased from the MCC Academy at Beaumaris College and the news about the pavilion, we’ve had a surge of new members.
