This year marks our 15th anniversary, and yesterday we had the pleasure of celebrating with our wider community to say a heartfelt thank you to the incredible people who have helped shape our journey.
We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to our recent supporters, who have played a significant role in helping make our facility a reality:
Julian Leeser MP, James Wallace MP - Hornsby, and Mayor Warren Waddell, Waters Cranes. We were especially delighted to be joined by Councillor Olivia Simons Hornsby, who attended in Warren’s place — and whose visit was made even more special as a former member of our club.
A special thank you to Kathy Cummings, Donna Britton, Ryde Dragon Boat Club, and Di (FFB) for your continued support and for generously sharing your knowledge and experience with us — it truly makes a difference.
To Marian (Ryan’s mum), thank you for your incredible generosity and kindness.
We are also deeply grateful to Sue, Lachlan, Steph, MA, and LiRay for stepping in to help us when we needed it most.
And to our sponsor Hornsby RSL Club, thank you for enabling us to fit out our container and expand our Learn to Paddle programs — creating more opportunities to welcome new members to the sport.
We are truly fortunate to be part of such a supportive and caring community. Here’s to the past 15 years — and to many more ahead.
