Director Trevor Heaslip receives NSW Service Medallion
Trevor's distinguished career is a story of dedication and service. From his early days in the Department of Corporate Affairs to his impactful 22 years in the NSW Police Force, followed by his transformative leadership at the Botanic Gardens of Sydney, Trevor has left an indelible mark on the safety and security of the community.
His work improving safety and security at the Botanic Gardens, particularly during major events including APEC, World Youth Day and Papal visit, Dalai Llama visit, Carols in the Domain and many other music and dance concerts, significantly contributed to its reputation as a premier tourist destination, earning accolades like the prestigious GOLD award for Major Tourist Attraction in NSW and the BRONZE Australian Tourism Award.
His leadership in crime prevention was pivotal in reducing criminal activity, ensuring millions of visitors experienced a safe and welcoming environment each year.
Trevor's police career, which included the Commissioner’s Commendation for Brave Conduct, the Royal Humane
Society Bravery Medal, the National Medal, Police Service Medal, and the NSW Police Service Medal, also showcased his commitment to community safety, particularly in high-need areas like Liverpool and Cabramatta. His involvement in the 2000 Sydney Olympics as a Police Supervisor further demonstrated his leadership and skill in ensuring large-scale event safety.
Now enjoying a well-earned retirement with his family, Trevor's legacy is a testament to his tireless service and dedication to the community.
The NSW Service Medallion he received in December 2024 is a fitting recognition of his 40+ years of exceptional service.

Executive Report
Dear Members,
We hope you all enjoyed your Christmas and New Year festivities and that you welcomed 2025 with open arms. Welcoming a New Year is always an exciting time, and even more so this year as we farewell 2024.
WELCOME TREVOR HEALSIP AND JOHN CHOUEIFATE
Following the retirement of Daryl Melham AM at the conclusion of the 2024 Annual General Meeting (AGM), the results of the election for Board of Directors were announced, confirming that Trevor Heaslip and John Choueifate would be joining the Board of Directors at Revesby Workers’ Club.
Trevor is a Life Member of Revesby Workers’ Cricket Club, and current President with over 52 years as player, coach and executive.
He graduated with a Diploma in Crime Prevention, Certificate IV in Security Risk Management, Advanced Certificate in Safety & Crowd Management, Advanced Certificate in Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED).
Trevor Heaslip.
John Choueifate has been a member of the Revesby Workers’ for 45 years. He has been involved in Australian media for more than 40 years and held executive roles at the Seven, Nine and Ten Networks. He has directed and mentored some of Australia’s leading presenters and journalists.
John was appointed by NSW Premier Morris Iemma as Head of Government Strategy and Communication in 2008, and has relationships with State and Federal Government Ministers, along with business leaders.
We have welcomed both Trevor and John to the Board and hope you join us in congratulating them and wishing them all the best for their term.
John Choueifate.
NEW CLUB PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT
Following the AGM in October last year, the Board elected myself as President and Christine Benham as Vice President.
Christine Benham was elected to the Board in November 2008. Her service not only to the Club, but to the community, is immeasurable.
Christine is the Liaison Director for Revesby Workers’ Women’s Hockey, Revesby Workers’ Swim Club, Bankstown Stroke Support Group, Revesby Workers’ Senior Golf and Revesby Workers’ Netball.
Her dedication and support for all things community made it a very easy decision to elect her as the Vice President. Her passion for the Club and its members will ensure a very positive future for the Revesby Workers’ Group.
MEMBER ANNIVERSARY EVENTS
We would also like to take the opportunity to share some photos from our Member Anniversary events that took place on 24 October 2024 in our new Whitlam Theatre. Our 40 and 50-year members were invited to an afternoon event while our 25-year members joined us for an evening event.
The Board of Directors were honoured to be able to recognise the loyalty of those 25, 40 and 50 year members to our Club.
We would like to recognise the efforts of our Marketing and Food and Beverage teams for managing both events. The success of these events is a credit to their hard work and dedication.
We look forward to celebrating these events again later in the year with our Members.
FAREWELL BRUCE BREESE
We would like to extend our deepest gratitude and appreciation to Mooney Mooney resident and long-term member of the Advisory Committee Bruce Breese. Bruce has demonstrated an unwavering dedication and service to the Mooney Mooney community. His contributions have made a lasting impact. Through Bruce’s hard work, commitment, and compassion, he has helped foster a sense of unity, strength, and resilience in the Mooney Mooney community.
Bruce retired from the Advisory Committee in December as he plans his future further up the North Coast.
Bruce your efforts do not go unnoticed, and we are truly fortunate to have someone like you who consistently strives to make the world a better place. Thank you for your incredible service.

Director Reports
Christine Benham Vice President
Here we are in 2025 already! 2024 was another major year for the Club, and our Management and staff, across all facets of our business, deserve huge accolades for their outstanding work.
After the Annual General Meeting in October, we farewelled our President, Daryl Melham AM, at a wonderful lunch that followed the official opening of The Melham Function Centre. I am proud to have stood on the Board for sixteen years with Daryl, whose decision not to stand in the election could not have been an easy one. We welcome two new Directors, John Choueifate and Trevor Heaslip, whose skills greatly complement the talent pool of the Directors.
Within Revesby Workers’ Club, we have numerous sub-clubs that are run by many great volunteers who are committed to enhancing other people’s lives. From Little Athletics, Football, Bowls, Netball, Cricket – to name a few of the sporting sub-clubs – to the Garden Club, Ladies Group, Toastmasters and other common interest groups. There are plenty of opportunities for our members to get involved with the many clubs, contact details are available on the Club's website or at reception.
One particular group, for which I am the Liaison Director, is the Bankstown Stroke Support Group, which meets monthly in the Club. This is an excellent group whose membership is fluid and comprises people who have experienced a stroke, others who are carers, and anyone else who shares an interest in new developments in assessing the risks, identifying strokes and ongoing updates in treatments.
In November we had a very successful pre-Christmas meeting of the various sub-clubs at Revesby Greens. It was wonderful to see so many volunteers on the day and to be able to share experiences. We look forward to hearing tales from our Hockey Club next November, after their trip in May 2025 to the World Masters Games in Taipei, a trip they have been fundraising for over many months!
Revesby Workers' Club, through its Club Grants, has been proud to support local special schools over the years. The dedicated teachers and staff at these schools do incredible work with children who are both intellectually and often physically disabled. This year, we were thrilled to fund the
MiniFit program at Caroline Chisholm School and Broderick Gillawarna School. Founded by former Rugby League player Anthony Minichiello, this program focuses on health and exercise, specially adapted for these amazing children by Anthony and his team.
Additionally, through our Club Grants, we have been supporting Mercy Works, a fantastic charity that aids refugees and asylum seekers in settling within our community. One of their programs involves teaching English as a second language to students, usually between the ages of 18 and 25, at Bankstown Senior College.
As Chair of the Club’s Charity Committee, I am honoured to share that we have continued our efforts to raise funds for the local community, most recently by purchasing muchneeded equipment for Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital from their ‘wish list.’ We are incredibly grateful for the generous support Revesby Workers’ Club provides through our Friday night meat raffles at Revesby Greens. Over time, we’ve built a dedicated group of supporters, and we’re always happy to welcome new faces! In the near future, our charity will be further funding the purchase of up to five different types of devices for Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital and I look forward to sharing the details in a future issue of the Journal.
We are truly lucky to live in Australia. Let’s continue to support the wonderful volunteers we have in this country when we can. I look forward to another great year for Revesby Workers’ Club in 2025.
The Mercy Works Connect many volunteers and participants.
My election to the board of the Revesby Workers’ Club in late October 2024 has been quite surreal. I joined the Club as an 18-year-old, some 46 years ago, and I’ll be frank, the only reason I joined at the time was to gain entry to the Club and enjoy a schooner or two of lemon squash with fellow players from the cricket club.
I recall the world class entertainment and watching Tom Jones performing to packed audiences night after night, and for those who remember, the yearly Christmas Party for families was an event not to be missed. My fondest memory was handing out ice creams from a white caravan with former President Daryl Melham AM, and late director Keith Heaslip and his wife, in the early 80s (picture below).
Since those heady days, my connection with the Club has never waned and when I was asked to join the board, I saw an opportunity to play a more active role and to continue the great work and community focus. Over the years, there have been many structural and architectural changes but what hasn’t changed are the regular and loyal patrons who have supported the board and management.
Testimony of the stability of the board was the recent retirement of President Daryl Melham AM who called it quits after serving 44 years as a director and more recently as Club President. I am sure that milestone will never be eclipsed.
For those members who don’t know me, I have lived in the area most of my life and recall the days of the market gardens, the horse drawn milk carts, no sewerage and the “dunny man” picking up the toilet can and the chicken farm around the Club premises. The Club was a place for the wharfies, fishos, union organisers and political types to meet and strategise, but most of the time it was to swap yarns and tell tall tales.
My involvement with the Club was regular but limited due to my work commitments, as I held senior roles in the media over a period of 40 years. I also had a brief dalliance in Government and even started my own communications consultancy and strategy business.
The Board of Directors
During this time, the Club has grown, now boasting around 70,000 members and a demographic embracing a mix of young and old from diverse backgrounds. Over the years the wants and needs of Club members has changed, and this is clearly reflected by the investment in the retail village and medical precinct, the refurbishment of the gym and providing a better family dining experience.
The first few months have been quite hectic and only reinforced my decision to be a part of the board. Some of the events included Remembrance Day, a special luncheon ceremony for those members celebrating 25, 40 and 50 years of membership, the seniors Christmas concert, and the annual staff awards.
The generosity of the Club is something that isn’t rarely spoken of and deserves a mention. Whether it is providing grants to local schools, education grants to high-achieving students, bereavement support, subsidising our sporting teams or waiving fees to charitable and other organisations to use the Club facilities, these are just some of the decisions made on members’ behalf.
On other matters, I have some big shoes to fill and will be taking over from Club President Christine Butters as the Liaison Director for the Mooney Mooney Club which includes the Volunteer Rural Fire Service and the Marine Rescue. I had the pleasure of meeting some of the locals and they were very warm and welcoming. I have also asked to be on the Building, Education and Light on the Hill Committees, as well as the Disciplinary Committee.
The year has kicked off in fine style and I am looking forward to being a part of some exciting events and changes during 2025.

SUPPORTING LOCAL STUDENTS IN INTERNATIONAL ROBOTICS CHALLENGE SUCCESS
The Club is proud to have contributed $1,000 to support the talented students at East Hills Boys High School on their journey to the International Universal Robotics Challenge in Japan. This transformative experience combined cultural immersion with technical challenges, as students explored iconic landmarks like Osaka Castle and Kyoto Pavilion while competing on a global stage.
The teams showcased exceptional skill and resilience, securing impressive 12th and 14th place finishes against worldclass competitors. Despite unexpected challenges, they demonstrated determination and problem-solving expertise, representing their school and community with pride.
Revesby Workers’ Club congratulates the students on their achievements and extends gratitude to the many contributors who made this opportunity possible. The Club remains committed to supporting initiatives that empower and inspire the next generation of leaders and innovators.
SCHOOL SUBSIDY SUCCESS STORIES: BROOKLYN PUBLIC SCHOOL
One of the standout success stories from our School Subsidy Program is Brooklyn Public school who was the recipient of the largest subsidy grant totalling $9,780 in funding to upgrade seating in the playground. This much-needed project replaces the outdated and non-functional seating, creating a welcoming and practical space for students and the broader community.
The new seating provides students with a comfortable area to sit and enjoy their recess and lunch off the ground. It also enhances the school’s capacity to host events, offering a convenient and durable space for families and community members to gather.
With the previous seating no longer usable due to extensive wear, this upgrade was crucial. The newly installed seating not only meets the school's immediate needs but also offers a long-term solution requiring no ongoing maintenance.

YOUTH UPSKILLING: FIRST AID TRAINING TO EMPOWER LOCAL YOUTH
The Club supported headspace Bankstown this year in a commitment to support youth development through a $10,000 funding initiative that provides First Aid training to young people in our community. This program is designed to equip participants with essential life-saving skills while enhancing their employability and personal growth.
The initiative, set to run multiple sessions across 2024 and 2025, catering to up to 20 participants per session. By making this training accessible, the Club aims to empower young individuals with the knowledge and confidence to respond effectively in emergency situations. These skills not only improve their prospects for employment but also contribute to the overall safety and well-being of the community.

REVESBY WORKERS’ CLUB STAFF PACKS BRIGHT FUTURES WITH KARI’S BACKPACK PROGRAM
The Club has played a significant role in supporting KARI’s Transition to Kindergarten Backpack Program. In honour of World Children’s Day, the Club donated $20,000 to this important initiative, ensuring that children in the area are equipped with essential school supplies as they embark on their kindergarten journey.
In addition to this generous donation, seven dedicated staff members from the Club volunteered their time to pack a staggering 500 backpacks, filling them with items designed to help young learners feel confident and prepared for their first year of school.
CELEBRATING TALENT AND ACHIEVEMENT AT BRODERICK GILLAWARNA SCHOOL
The Club warmly congratulates the remarkable students of Broderick Gillawarna School for showcasing their incredible talents and achievements on International Day of People with Disability.
This year’s theme, Shining Bright, Growing Strong, truly encapsulated the energy and resilience of the day. The event was filled with inspiring performances and culminated in an awards ceremony celebrating the students' hard work and achievements.
Revesby Workers’ Club Vice President, Christine Benham, had the honour of presenting the prestigious Mayor’s Merit Award, recognising outstanding contributions and accomplishments among the students.
It was a day of joy, inspiration, and community pride, reinforcing the club’s commitment to inclusivity and support for individuals of all abilities. Congratulations to the students of Broderick Gillawarna School for their welldeserved recognition!
CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS WITH OUR SUB CLUB CHAMPIONS!
Revesby Workers’ Club proudly supports 28 local sporting and community clubs, powered by incredible volunteers who dedicate their time and effort to building and running these organisations.

In November, we took part in Movember, a global initiative dedicated to raising awareness for men's health issues, including mental health, suicide prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer. Each week, we highlighted a different theme: Benefits of Exercise and Stress Relief, Know Thy Nuts and Let’s Talk.
Through engaging posts on our Facebook page and informative posters in the staff room, we shared valuable resources to educate and inspire our team. We encouraged our male staff members to “Grow a Mo” and, more importantly, to connect with friends, family, and colleagues, fostering a sense of mutual support. It was uplifting to see so many participate, whether by growing a moustache, sharing information, or simply offering encouragement. The collective effort of our staff played a key role in the success of this campaign, helping to raise awareness and shine a light on these important health issues.

Among the highlights were acknowledging Years of Service, celebrating recent promotions, and honouring our former Club President, Daryl Melham AM, for his incredible history with the Club. We also introduced our new leadership team, welcoming President Christine Butters and new Board members Trevor Heaslip and John Choueifate.
Guest speaker Lisa Annabel, CEO of Biyani House – Revesby Women’s Shelter, shared her valuable insights into the critical work she and her team does to support women and children affected by domestic violence. During the event, staff presented

ANZACDay Friday 25 April
ANZAC Day is the solemn day of remembrance of those Australian and New Zealand Army Corps soldiers who fought and died at Gallipoli in 1915. It is also a day of remembrance for all soldiers who died while fighting for their country.
ANZAC Day has been celebrated in Australia since October 1915 (in South Australia) then nationally on 25 April 1916. It has been a public holiday across the country since the mid-1920s.
ANZAC Day’s phrase ‘Lest We Forget’ is uttered after the reading of the Ode of Remembrance, taken from a poem called ‘For the Fallen’, written by Laurence Binyon in 1914 in England.
“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.”

Our 2024-2025 season has been another successful one, with a record number of athletes registered with our club and a number of outstanding athlete performances across Friday night Club competitions and the Little Athletics NSW/ Athletics NSW championships pathway.
We have had a number of long standing Centre records broken, including: Isla Ailiuua broke the 6 Girls Long Jump record, which had previously stood for 18 years.
Asher Baker broke the 9 Girls Discus record, which had previously stood for 13 years. Isaac Brown broke the 11 Boys 1100m Walk record, which had previously stood for 14 years.
Max Farrugia broke the 15 Boys High Jump record, which had previously stood for 28 years, the Triple Jump record which had stood for 19 years and the 400m record which had stood for 17 years.
In December 2024, we had 96 athletes compete across 345 events at the Southern Metropolitan Zone Championships.
A large number of these athletes subsequently qualified for the Region Championships, being held in February 2025 and we wish them the best of luck at the next stage of competition.
A shout out to Dean Afungia, who broke the 13 Boys Discus Zone record, with an incredible throw of 38.98m, improving the Zone record by 4 metres!
The new season of Little Athletics will commence in August 2025 and runs through until March 2026. Registrations will open online in August 2025 via our website www.revesbylac.org.au.
Revesby Workers’ Little Athletics promotes fun, fitness and skills development in a friendly competitive environment while encouraging family participation, community spirit and values.
Any child born between January 2009 and December 2021 can join our Centre in the new season. Children engage in running, jumping and throwing events, with the opportunity to compete at carnivals outside our centre as well as our regular Friday night club competition.
Registration fees are a one off cost each year with no weekly fees involved. Uniforms are purchased from the centre during the registration period.
A small amount of fundraising assists in the purchase of end of season awards and enables us to keep our equipment up to date.

CRICKET
Liaison Director: Trevor Heaslip
This summer season is well underway, with the finals being played in March.
Performances have been good, generally, and we are having fun, which is what park cricket is about! Thank you to our wonderful band of volunteers –captains, scorers and managers.
Cricket cannot be played without people stepping up to take on these roles.
All our senior players have been doing the Club proud, with some great performances and displaying the true spirit of cricket!
The FORCE – Fathers Of Revesby Cricket Eleven – have not played any matches yet this season, but there is still enthusiasm to get on the park and, indeed, to play in any festivals that come along.
Our three young ones playing in the Blasters Program are having fun on Tuesday afternoons at Amour Park and will resume in February.
In October, the RW Cricket Club proudly donated a large amount of cricket gear that was distributed through the school system to destinations in central and western NSW. The gear comprised playing equipment for children from early school years through to adults, as well as new clothing and trophies.
Thank you to Nic from the Georges River Environmental Education Centre for taking these goods to places where they were needed.
We hope everyone had a very happy Christmas and wish you all a wonderful
2025. Take care and stay safe.

CLUB
Liaison Director: Christine Butters
Happy New Year to one and all!
We had a very busy and exciting year in 2024 and look forward to having more of the same (or even better!) in 2025.
To recap, we had nine guest speakers who covered horticultural and general interest topics.
Our spring coach tour took us to Bowral’s Corbett Gardens for their Tulip Festival. It was a lovely sunny day although rather windy.
2024 also marked our 35th Birthday and also Friendship Day, with invited members from the Fairfield Garden Club celebrating with us.
Our Christmas luncheon was held at the newly renovated Blaxland/Banks/ Werriwa rooms. We had a generous buffet, numerous door prizes and our forever favourite singer Russell Churcher.
President Val Kennedy took the opportunity to thank everyone for making our club a success. She announced with much pleasure that Christine Butters, our Liaison Director, is now President of the RWC Board of Directors! Despite her many commitments, Christine said she would still attend as many of our meetings as possible.
A big congratulations from us all, Christine!
We resume our monthly meetings in February, on the first Saturday of each month. Pre-registration starts at 9:30 am, followed by our guest speaker at 10 am. Meetings end at 12 noon, with a break for morning tea.
Gardeners and non-gardeners alike are most welcome to attend. Invitations have already been sent to our guest speakers. We have raffles and monthly plant/flower competitions. Our plant table sells cuttings/seedlings/seeds at giveaway prices.
This is a good chance to add to your garden or replace anything that has gone to the Great Garden in the Sky.

GOLF (MENS’)
Liaison Director: Trevor Heaslip
The club was formed in 1961 and is a thriving sub-club of the Revesby Workers' Club. The golf club currently has more than 50 members and is run by a very dedicated group of elected officers. Visitors are welcome to come and have a game with us to see if they would like to join our club.
For further information, please visit our informative website www.rwcmensgolf.org
At the time of writing, we find ourselves almost at the end of the 2024 season. We only have two games left at Cumberland GC and then we go to Georges River GC for our end of year ambrose event, followed by the customary Christmas party and awards presentation for 2024.
Since our last report, the club staged its club championships which were played over 4 rounds at, Campbeltown GC, Cabramatta GC, Camden Lakeside GC and Links Shell Cove.
The format was stroke-play and players were allowed to drop their worst round.
I am happy to announce that the A Grade Club Champion for 2024 was Manny Petris.
B Grade Champion – Troy Young
C Grade Champion – Pat Collins
A Grade Handicap Champion – Joy Mesuria
B Grade Handicap Champion – Craig Franklin
C Grade Handicap Champion – Bob Mallia.
On November 10th, the club travelled to Mollymook for an overnight stay on Saturday, followed by our yearly challenge against Canberra Labour Club the next morning. The event was a 2 ball ambrose and the club with the most wins would take home the prestigious Hogan/McKeough Trophy.
Unfortunately for Revesby, Canberra were too strong this year and were the victors in a hard fought battle. The final score was 6.5 matches to 4.5 in favour of
Canberra.
On October 13th, we contested the Lawson Cup against Blacktown Workers’ Club at Cabramatta Gc.
This competition is in its 60th year and I am happy to report that Team Revesby won the event very convincingly. That is now 3 years in a row for this very talented golf club.
On the 17th of November, we staged the Presidents Cup which is a stableford trophy event for members only.
The winner this year with a runaway victory was Kenton Tyne who shot a masterful 48 pts. His prize was a 5 shot reduction to his handicap.
On the 1st of December, we staged the final of the Guzzlers Cup. Only qualifiers throughout the year were eligible for the chance to win the Dan Murphy voucher on offer.
The winner this year was Jay Krishna who shot a n incredible 45 points to win the trophy.
Congratulations to all our champions this year and a big thanks to all the members for the great camaraderie and fun.
A huge thankyou to our hard-working committee for all their terrific work this year. Without their tireless endeavours, the club would not be the success it is today.
Thank you to our major sponsor Revesby Workers’ Club for their amazing support this year which went a long way to relieving some of the increased costs that we faced and the contribution of all our other sponsors which also helped in a massive way.
I would like to wish our members and the entire Revesby Workers’ community, a very happy Christmas and a safe and prosperous New Year.
Keep swinging and keep happy.
