The GOTAFE GVFL has been highlighting volunteers and coaches throughout the year and also announcing a volunteer of the month who will be in the running to be voted and nominated GOTAFE GVFL volunteer of the year at the Morrison Medal night.
Congratulations go to Baden Edmondstone from the Benalla Football Netball Club who is the GOTAFE GVFL Volunteer of the Month (May).
Baden has been involved with the Benalla club for over 30 years and has continued to support the club each and every year.
Baden’s roles within the club are many as with all volunteers but this year he is working on making sure all participants (Football and netball) have the best facilities available to them in season 2015. He cleans every change room (Home, visitors, netball and umpires) before and after training and before and after home games. This is a massive effort I’m sure you can agree especially after the conditions the rooms would have been in after the game last weekend against Rochester.
Baden also ensures that the areas, around the change rooms, are clean so that supporters of our great league can enjoy the game in a great clean environment.
When you are at Benalla if you get a chance go up and have a chat with Baden and say “thanks for your support” you will find him each and every home game on his folding chair next to the players entry gate to the oval.
Bruce Biggs President of Benalla said “Baden does a tremendous amount of work to ensure this place is in tip top condition every home game”
“Without volunteers like Baden this club wouldn’t function and we are very fortunate at this football club to have many volunteers who help to support this community and the Benalla committee”
It’s the support of volunteers like Baden that help all clubs run each and every day so if you have a spare hour or so please go up and ask someone on the committee how can you help.
The amount of hours Baden volunteers to the club is outstanding and very much appreciated by all footballers, netballers, supporters and committees and the GOTAFE GVFL board, staff and clubs would like to congratulate Baden for being Mays GOTAFE GVFL Volunteer of the Month.
