💜💚 A HUGE THANK YOU & FAREWELL! 💜💚

We want to recognise and thank three wonderful members of our Thistles Committee who are stepping down from their roles next season.

💜 Liz Bova – President

A very special and heartfelt THANK YOU to Liz who has given so much of her time, energy and dedication to Thistles over the years!

Liz has worn many hats from coaching teams and coordinating equipment to running our Nettas program and, of course, leading the club as President!

Being President is no small job, and Liz has worked tirelessly behind the scenes to support our players, families and wider Thistles community.

Liz, your leadership, passion and commitment have made a lasting difference to our club. We are incredibly grateful for everything you've done! 💜👏

💚 Cath Hutt – Registrar

A massive thank you to Cath for the incredible work she's put into being our Registrar!

Being Registrar is no small feat! From managing hundreds of registrations and organising teams to planning our grading days, there's an enormous amount of work behind the scenes.

Cath, thank you for your countless hours of organisation, patience and dedication to getting our players and teams ready each season. We appreciate everything you've done! 💚👏

💜 Cass Jeffries – Secretary

A huge thank you to Cass, who has done so much more than her role as Secretary!

From managing equipment and organising Presentation Nights to keeping the committee organised and everything running smoothly, Cass has been involved in so many parts of our club.

Cass, thank you for your incredible hard work, commitment and all the time you've given to Thistles! 💜👏

👏 To Liz, Cath and Cass - a HUGE THANK YOU!

Our club wouldn't be what it is without amazing volunteers like you. We are so grateful for everything you've contributed to our Thistles community.
