Greenway Park Community Centre
The opening of the Greenway Park Community Centre on 30th March 2021 is a great example of Community Clubs in our District coming together to achieve the remarkable. The Community Centre is a $1.5m initiative and was championed by Julian Leeser, our Local Federal Member. The initiative brought together local sporting groups that worked together collaboratively: WPHCCC, Baseball, Westbook AFL, Little A’s, and Penno Stags Rugby League.

We now have a facility that is 2nd to none in the District and will provide a Community hub to build on the already great working relationship within our local sporting groups.
Significant Achievement Awards
The inaugural Special Achievement Awards were launched this season to recognise exceptional contribution over many years. Outside Life Membership, it is the most significant recognition our Club provides.
This season there were 4 outstanding recipients:
Julian & Jane Bish
Their contribution goes back to managing Kanga Cricket Teams. Julian was Juniors Director between 2013 and 16 and among many achievements redefined the concept of ‘Participation over Results’ policy. Julian also continues to compile the YearBook, which is a significant piece of work.
Jane was a driving force of our Pink Stumps contribution and has been our long-term Clothing coordinator and Executive Committee Member. For clothing she has turned what was an adhoc afterthought into a smooth end to end process that has also ‘consumed’ rooms in the Bish household
Steve ‘Buzz’; Burrows
Steve has been Juniors Secretary between 2017 and 2018 and is the current Juniors Director. He is a Junior Age Convenor and long-term Seniors Captain since 2014-15.
Alicia Evans
Alicia has been our Juniors Registrar since 2016 and has actively supported all sections of the Club whenever help was needed. The sheer scale of the number of Teams combined with the MyCricket systems problems makes her contribution even more significant.
