Hi All,

Welcome back to another season of Vigoro!

As many of you may already be aware, Deanne Lawrie has decided not to stand for President of our Association this year. After nine wonderful years in the role, Dee has decided it's time for a well-deserved break, although she will continue in her role as Queensland President.

I'm sure you will all join me in thanking Dee for the tremendous job she has done for Ipswich Vigoro over the years. She has given so much of her time, energy and passion to our Association, and we are incredibly grateful for everything she has done.

While I believe Dee is irreplaceable, I have happily stepped into the role of President and am looking forward to the season ahead!

Luckily for me, Dee has left me with a wonderful and very talented committee, who I would like to introduce:

Janet Savage – Vice President: Knows just about everything there is to know about Vigoro!
Lee Scudds – Secretary: Her love and passion for our game is endless.
Cassidy – Assistant Secretary: Brings a voice for our younger players, along with some fresh ideas and perspectives.
Andrea Kruger – Treasurer: Great with money, grants and amazing innovation.

These ladies are all volunteers who give up their time and work incredibly hard behind the scenes to keep our Association running. I'm very lucky to have such a great team around me, and I hope you'll join me in thanking them for all that they do.

I'm looking forward to a fantastic season filled with plenty of good games, great friendships and lots of fun along the way.

Here's to a wonderful 2026/27 Vigoro season... and hopefully some much-needed rain!!

Cheers,
Julie Balke
President
Ipswich Vigoro Association

NEW SEASON INCOMING!

It’s almost time to dust off the Vigoro bat and get ready for another year of action!

Our first fixtures for the 2026/27 season kick off on 10 October, and we’re already busy with pre-season preparations to welcome back our players, officials, families and spectators for another fun-filled season.

All of our clubs are currently recruiting juniors and women to fill teams. So if you’ve been looking for a sport that is welcoming, inclusive, supportive and loads of fun — Vigoro could be exactly what you’ve been searching for.

And the best part? The only equipment you need to get started is a pair of sneakers!

Still undecided? No problem! We have three weeks of FREE “Come & Try” games, with absolutely no commitment, so you can experience Vigoro for yourself before deciding if it’s for you.

Our junior players can also attend a club training session before the season begins, giving them a chance to meet some of the players, learn the basics and get a taste of the fast-paced, action-packed fun that is Vigoro!

👉 Register your interest via our website and one of our friendly committee members will be in touch to help you get started.

New players. New friendships. New season. Game on! 💚

What a beautiful morning we shared today at our very first Cancer Council Biggest Morning Tea 💛☕

We were truly overwhelmed by the support shown by our extended Ipswich Vigoro family. Thank you to everyone who attended, baked delicious goodies, donated prizes, purchased raffle tickets, or supported our fundraising through our fruit & veg boxes and cookie packs — every single contribution helped make a difference for a cause that has touched far too many of our lives. Thank you also to our very generous event sponsors - Chris Doyle Plumbing & The Ipswich Florist!

Together, we are incredibly proud to say we raised a total of $1637.70 for the Cancer Council 💛

More than the fundraising total though, today was about community, kindness and coming together to support one another — something our association has always done so well.

As one very wise member said today:

“Today was another very proud day to be part of the Ipswich Vigoro community — our association has always been and continues to be so much more than a game.”

Thank you all for helping make our very first Biggest Morning Tea so special. 💛
