Congratulations to Bec Thomas and Brendan Simon
Hi All,
I thought you would like to know that two of our golfers were successful in this year’s South Gippsland Classic 2-day event held at Foster on Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th at Yarram. This event was the culmination of 9 days of the Classic which commenced on Saturday 10th at Mirboo North.
Bec Thomas continued her wonderful form to win both yesterday’s Women’s Stroke event at Yarram, and the overall 2-day Classic Stroke event. Congratulations Bec. She posted a 79 at Foster on Saturday and followed this up with a 76 at Yarram yesterday.
Brendan Simon also had success, being runner-up in yesterday’s B Grade Stableford event with an excellent 42 points, and also being runner up in the 2-day B Grade Classic event with a cumulative total of 75 points. Had it not been for Weshpool’s Alan Hayes’s blistering scores of 43 yesterday and 37 at Foster, Brendan would have won yesterday and also repeated his B Grade Classic win of 2 years ago.
I had the pleasure of playing with Brendan yesterday and while we were waiting to tee off on the 186m par 3 18th hole, related the story of how Dan Poynton had managed to put his shot into the clubhouse during a pennant match at Woorayl about 4 years ago. Brendan had been smashing some great drives all day and must have been keen to emulate Dan’s feat because he flushed his 2 hybrid drive on the 18th, whistling it high of the green and heading rapidly towards the clubhouse too. Had his shot not hit the South Gippsland Classic President, David Phelan, he would have done so! David recovered enough to later award Brendan his prizes!
Thanks you to the many players from our club who supported this event by playing one or more days at courses other than ours. It spreads good will among the local clubs and visitors to our region.

GIPPSPORT APPOINTS NEW EXECUTIVE OFFICER Dan Poynton
HI All,
I though you should know it has been announced today that our former President, Dan Poynton has been appointed the new Executive Officer of GippSport. I’m sure that you join with me in congratulating Dan on his appointment and wishing him well in his new role. Below is the announcement from GippSport:
Daniel Poynton has been appointed as the new Executive Officer for GippSport, the peak community sport body for Gippsland. The position became vacant with Barry Switzer announcing his retirement late last year, after 14 highly successful years in the role. Daniel will commence as Executive Officer from Monday 12th February 2018.
According to Chair, Julie Foat, Daniel brings a wealth of exceptional skills, knowledge and experience having worked in the sport industry for over 15 years. “Daniel has worked for GippSport as a Program Manager for six years and has recently completed a 12 month secondment with Sport and Recreation Victoria as Regional Coordinator, Gippsland”, said Mrs Foat.
“Daniel has qualifications in Business, Sports Management and Governance, which will support his successful tenure as the new Executive Officer”. Mrs Foat believes this will also hold him in good stead in working with the GippSport Board, the highly valued staff team, GippSport members and, key stakeholders, such as Sport and Recreation Victoria, VicHealth, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Latrobe Valley Authority and Latrobe Health Assembly.
“GippSport welcomes Daniel into the position and looks forward to an exciting and successful future with GippSport”, said Mrs Foat. “Daniel is very active in community sport in his home town of Inverloch and surrounds, and is very well respected within the sports industry locally and state wide”
“I am really excited to be joining GippSport at such a pivotal time in its history, as it strengthens its role in supporting the community sport sector across Gippsland and helping Gippslander’s get more active” said Mr Poynton, “Barry Switzer has left an important and valuable legacy. He has built GippSport into a strong organisation with a highly reputable team and leaves very big shoes to fill.”
“GippSport will continue to strive to achieve its vision to be the regional leader of sport and active recreation in Gippsland,” said Mrs Foat who took up the role as Chair in 2017, the first woman to hold this position within the organisation. With Daniel’s leadership, enthusiasm, and innovative ideas, Mrs Foat is excited for the future of GippSport and the wider Gippsland sporting community. “There is an exceptional amount of government investment going into Gippsland at the moment, particularly within the sport and active recreation sector. GippSport is in an ideal position to support the Government to 
ensure this investment has a positive impact on the health and wellbeing of people living in Gippsland”.
We look forward to continuing to work closely with GippSport and Dan in the future.
Peter Waters, President
