The Peninsula Netball Association does a fabulous job running a Saturday morning netball competition for the area's young netball players plus training through the week.
Every Saturday morning at 9am the netballers, ranging in age from 5 years upwards arrive to play and learn valuable netball skills.
But there is a problem - the netball courts need work.
- Slippery surfaces: When the courts get wet they are quite slippery and dangerous.
- There are missing netball ring nets
- Netball ring posts are rusting away and breaking at their base which is inserted into a rain filled socket in the court surface
- At least two posts have either been broken by vandals or just snapped (due to rust)
I understand the Committee from the Peninsula Netball Association has approached the City of Greater Geelong, who manage the sports precinct in Drysdale, and they were working towards a solution . However, the person they were dealing with at the Council has now left that position.
This means they now have to start negotiations with a new person, thus slowing progress towards a resolution.
The situation could become dangerous soon. Is there anyone out there with a solution?
Please let me know....
