Grubbers gain support BY TIFFANY PILCHER THE Bellarine Times is proud to announce their new partnership with the Ocean Grove Football and Netball Club (OGFNC). OGFNC president Geoff Cunningham welcomed the opportunity to further solidify the club’s connection with the newspaper and the greater Bellarine community. “The Bellarine Times is growing all the time, as is the town of Ocean Grove and we are proud to be a part of that growth and development through the creation of strong links within the wider community. “This is an excellent opportunity for the club to expose themselves to the wider region across the Bellarine and our supporters will be able to easily keep up with how we are tracking each week.� Bellarine Times advertising manager Warick Brown said the new partnership is a fantastic and
mutually beneficial way to support the OGFNC in their ongoing contribution to the community. “We are very excited about being involved with the Ocean Grove Football and Netball Club who provide a hub of interaction and enjoyment for the people of Ocean Grove. “With our local newspaper, the Bellarine Times, gaining increased support from small, medium and large Ocean Grove businesses, we felt getting behind the football and netball clubs is a wonderful opportunity to give back to those who support us,� he said. “There is a proud and successful history at the Ocean Grove Football and Netball Club and being a part of their future is something we are thrilled about.� Keep an eye out in coming editions of the Bellarine Times for exciting news and updates from the OGFNC.

SURFSIDE Waves Soccer Club has secured a $15,000 loan to bring their own temporary male and female change rooms to the Shell Road Reserve sporting complex for use until permanent facilities are available. The funds have been offered by an anonymous benefactor and will be used to relocate a secondhand portable hut to the complex when logistics have been worked out with the City of Greater Geelong (COGG). Club spokesperson Cath Sattler said she was overwhelmed with the offer and is keen to have the unit delivered as soon as possible. “We are absolutely thrilled to bits with this news, we have lost so many families through having nowhere for players to get out of their wet and muddy kit after training and games.
MASSIVE CLEARANCE
“We are delighted to be able to finally offer all of our players a place to get changed with dignity.� Cr Jan Farrell said a building permit will be required for the unit and relevant council officers will be meeting with members of the club on Monday. “As with any building project there are a number of issues to be resolved and council will assist the Surf Side Waves Soccer Club where it can.� One of two temporary shared change room facilities funded by COGG was delivered to the reserve earlier this month with the other to follow in about a month. “This is a temporary arrangement while we secure funding for the permanent sporting pavilion which will accommodate football, netball, soccer and cricket,� she said.
