A Long History of Dedication

The first Police Rotary Boys Club opened in a disused police lockup in Woolloomooloo on April 1 1937, following initiatives of Police Commissioner William J Mackay and the Rotary Club of Sydney.

Today there are 60 clubs across NSW and a workforce of approximately 450 full-time and part-time staff, 1000 active volunteers and 160 Police Officers.

PCYC is a company, limited by guarantee, which operates under the control of a board of directors. The Board sets key policies and appoints the CEO to provide operational and management control. PCYC works in partnership with the Youth Command of the NSW Police Force and supports the work of the Youth Case Managers in their work with young offenders and “at risk” youth.

Our mission is to get young people active in life, work with them to develop their skills, character and leadership and reduce and prevent crime by, and against, young people. PCYC is looking to build on it’s long history of community service with renewed focus on the engagement and development of young people in 2015 and beyond.

Chairman’s Message

I have much pleasure in presenting the 2014 annual report for PCYC NSW, Ltd.

2014 was a year of transition as we farewelled our long-serving CEO Chris Gardiner and welcomed his successor, Darren Black.

As you will see from this annual report, PCYC NSW has a remarkable track record of working with young people to develop their skills, prevent youth crime and build good citizens of tomorrow.

The yearly statistics show the service we are providing to countless thousands of people throughout NSW, from big cities to remote and regional townships across more than 60 clubs in NSW.

On behalf of the board I would like to thank our staff, Police, volunteers, government, business and community sponsors and our thousands of donors who all contribute to making PCYC NSW one of Australia’s most effective youth organisations.

Nicholas Moore, Chairman.

Chief Executive Officer’s Report

It is a great honour to have been appointed as CEO of PCYC NSW in June 2014.

I would like to thank the board for their confidence and also acknowledge the contribution our outgoing CEO Chris Gardiner for his 12 years’ service to the movement.

I would also like to thank the Commander, Superintendent David Scrimgeour, for his support and partnership during my first six months.

PCYC has much to be proud of, with more than 77 years’ service to the people of NSW through its great mission to get young people active in life, develop future citizens and leaders of our community and prevent and reduce youth crime.

I would also like to thank our volunteers. This organisation has been built on community support and volunteer participation. Many of our clubs and police programs would not be able to run as effectively without the thousands of voluntary hours given to them by our volunteer members across the scores of communities surrounding our clubs

It has been a privilege to get around the club network in the first six months, visiting many of our clubs and meeting most of our staff, seeing the work of the police youth case managers and attending a number of our programs and events.

Highlights included Blue Star where we develop our young leaders of the future, Nations of Origin where we engage indigenous communities and youth through sport, and the morning breakfast programs focusing on re-engaging at-risk kids and getting them back to school.

Financially, we are in a solid shape with net assets of $65 million and a net profit, before interest and depreciation, of $3 million in 2014.

We are fortunate to have a strong base of support from the NSW government, yet many of our clubs are ageing and in significant need of redevelopment.

Looking to the next couple of years, we have a firm foundation on which to build. We must seek to lift the bar across the network in terms of our focus on protecting and developing young people and seeking best-practice in youth programs and activities.

We must renew our ageing clubs and develop new facilities to meet current and future community needs. In order to do this, we need to become more self-sufficient.

We have new clubs to open at Auburn, the southern highlands, the northern beaches of Sydney and Port Macquarie in 2015-16.

We have great results that demonstrate the impact of the case-management approach of our youth case managers and we have many good news stories of young people’s lives changed for the better as a result of their association with PCYC.

We have also had great results from the young sportsmen and women who attend our sporting academies, with state, national and international champions within our ranks.

We will seek to share those stories far and wide as proof of the good work of PCYC which extends, not just work with young adults but from young children in our kinder gym programs right up to seniors who use our clubs for meetings, exercise programs and sport.

Finally, I look forward to working with our staff, managers, volunteers, our partners in the Police Youth Command and community supporters as we endeavour to be part of the development of many thousands more young people across NSW in the coming years.

Commander’s Report

The evidence shows that case-managing young people is effective – it is important that the Police Officers conducting case management have a balanced approach, which is why the expectation is that the case managers’ programs suit young offenders and that they each run at least one program which brings together a group of young offenders or youth at risk, focused on addressing a crime category type.

I’m extremely pleased to see a significant growth in the number of young people who are interacting with Police both by way of case management and as program participants. I’m very proud of the 30 per cent increase in the number of programs we ran in 2014 compared with previous years.

The Youth Command comprises 106 youth case managers, 40 school liaison Police and Support Officers. Each of these youth case managers individually case manages at least six young offenders at any given time for up to 12 months and also operates at least one crime prevention program for a group of young offenders and youth at risk.

The environment in which we work is becoming increasingly risky. There are a number of factors which increase the possibility of youth offending. They include

• an increase in child abuse notification, along with parent protection orders and out-of-home care placements;

• indigenous over-representation in homeless populations across all groups and ages;

• indigenous children currently eight times more likely than non-indigenous children to be receiving child protection services; and

• increasing trends in youth unemployment and a decrease in full-time permanent employment for young people.

The annual number of young people with whom police are working increased from 965 in 2009 to nearly 1300 in 2014 with an almost even split of young offenders or youth at risk.

Group programs undertaken by youth case managers are targeted according to local priorities. As can be seen from the accompanying chart, out of 129 programs carried out in 2014, 35 were aimed at reducing truancy, 22 at “capacity building” and other major focuses were reducing street offences, malicious damage and assault.

APPROXIMATELY

The following chart, compiled from data produced by the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research, illustrates the reduction in offences committed by the young people with whom the youth case managers were working in each respective year.

It shows the number of offences for the 12 months prior to Police interaction and then the number of offences committed by that cohort in subsequent quarters in case management programs.

At the time young people, who were at risk or already offending, entered the youth case manager system (quarter “zero”) they were collectively committing between 400 and 500 offences.

A dramatic drop in offending in the first 12 months of a young person’s involvement with PCYC continued over each quarter they continued to be associated with our Officers, clubs and programs.

Police Program Case Studies

Penrith Girls’ Program

A partnership between Officers at PCYC Penrith and nearby Cranebrook High School is encouraging school attendance and building self-esteem and citizenship among students.

A pilot program in 2014, funding by the school’s aboriginal education program, involved eight 14 and 15-year-old girls who identified as Aboriginal and who were young offenders, at risk of offending or who were truanting.

Youth case manager Senior Constable Gabriella Di Marino said, over a two-month period, they came to PCYC Penrith once a week.

“They took part in club sports and activities and discussions sessions on topics including the consequences of missing school, crime prevention, personal health, drugs and alcohol and further education and training,” she said.

“Their final week concentrated on team-building, trust and outdoor activities.

“The end result was great and we’ll be continuing the program in future terms.

“Two of the participants were identified as possible Blue Star citizenship program entrants and the school said the girls’ school attendance and behaviour improved because of the course.

The program was also highlighted to the police and aboriginal consultative group within the Penrith local area command.”

Wagga Wagga Anti-Break and Enter Program

The success of a Police youth program in Wagga Wagga has led to a drop in the number of break and enters.

YCM Senior Constable Colin Jacobs said the local area command alerted PCYC to a spike in break and enter offences and a program was begun which included funding from the NRMA and St George Foundation.

“Over the past three years, the eight-week program, involving up to 10 young people, has been run seven times,” he said.

“The young people were referred by local police and within a month of the first course, break and enter offences had begun to drop.

“Looking at offences commited by the kids before and then after the program, they had all reduced or stopped offending.

“It’s been such a success that this type of offence is now right down the list of crime stats in the area.”

During the program, the young people were told by speakers from Juvenile Justice about what could happen to them if they kept on offending, heard from victims of break-ins about the impact of robberies on families, were instructed on the consequences of drug and alcohol abuse and heard from local Aboriginal elders about contributing to society and their culture.

“Many of the kids are continuing with PCYC, getting involved in our boxing and fitness programs,” Colin said.

Operation SHOUT – Blue Light Goes West

Thousands of young people in remote communities of NSW were again treated to supervised dance parties as part of the joint Youth Command/Blue Light Operation SHOUT – Blue Light Goes West tour.

A team of police, a professional DJ and NSW Blue Light volunteers visited six remote communities in the north-west of the state with a Blue Light trailer, containing the latest lighting and sound equipment.

Dance parties, complete with prizes and giveaways were held in Narromine, Walgett, Brewarrina, Lightning Ridge, Gilgandra and Coonabarabran.

For some years, the under 18s events have been a NSW Youth Week highlight for those remote communities.

Broken Hill to PCYC Sutherland Bush to Beach.

For the second year, a group of more than a dozen teenaged boys had what some described as “the trip of a lifetime” as part of a unique program called “The Bush to the Beach”.

A combined initiative of Broken Hill Police, PCYC Broken Hill and PCYC Sutherland, the boys were flown from the border town to the Sydney beachside for a week of camping, teamwork and character-building.

A leadership hike, surf safety instruction, canoeing and gym and boxing sessions at PCYC Sutherland and meeting Sydney-based AFL players were highlights.

The boys were hand-picked by Officers from Broken Hill and were accompanied by PCYC Officers and staff.

The boys learnt valuable life lessons about leadership and team work and, for some for the first time, what it was like to fly on a plane and play in the ocean.

13

PCYC Activities

From a foundation of activities such as gymnasium sports, boxing and “healthy” activities for boys, PCYC has grown to become the sports and recreation hub for many communities.

While traffic education had the highest number of participants in 2014 (15,400), our traditional activities were also enjoyed by thousands.

PCYC prides itself on the quality and affordability of its gym and fitness facilities and these were enjoyed by more than 8500 members.

Australian and international champions are being created through PCYC’s boxing and gymnastics academies (highlighted on following pages) and more than 6500 boxers and more than 4600 gymnastics made up our teams and representatives last year.

Club websites give the public an exhaustive list of activities accessible at their local club, but some of our key other activities include myriad martial arts, basketball and netball, Futsal, archery, fencing and sports aerobics, along with some other activities, such as swimming, bike riding and judo which, in some clubs, have been a mainstay of their operations for many decades.

PCYC Boxing Academy

2014 was a significant year in many ways for PCYC Boxing, with many great results for our boxers, nationally and internationally, as well as some exceptional development opportunities taken on by the PCYC boxing academy.

At the international level, PCYC Hornsby’s Kaye Scott and PCYC Umina Beach’s Satali Tevi-Fuimaono led the charge for the PCYC program. Nationally, our top contenders were Sam Goodman (PCYC Sutherland), Ryan Covi (PCYC Umina), Josh Fitzpatrick (PCYC Sutherland), Po Lopeti (PCYC Redfern) and Jason Fawcett, Steve Turner and Joey Taylor (PCYC Umina Beach).

Kaye Scott won selection on the Glasgow Commonwealth Games team, performing really strongly in her first bout before losing a tough and close second bout. Kaye will now aim for the Rio Olympics, and will be a strong chance of representing her country again.

Satali Tevi-Fuimaono qualified for both the world youth championships in Sofia, Bulgaria and the Youth Olympics in Nianjing, China. Some strong early performances in Sofia had him beating the US, Nigeria and Great Britain but, in a crucial quarter final against the Russian, Satali was beaten in a split decision. The Russian was to go on and win the tournament.

At the national titles held in Fremantle, we had 10 boxers from PCYC win four gold, one silver and two bronze medals. Several were unlucky not to go further in the competition and win gold, but for some it was not their first time – Satali Tevi-Fuimaono(four-times gold), Kaye Scott(three-times gold) and Jason Fawcett(two-times gold). Only Ryan Covi was on debut for a gold medal.

All PCYC boxers at the Nationals are part of the PCYC boxing academy and had benefited greatly from the consistent development and competition that is generated by the academy program.

In 2014, the academy made two international trips – to China and England. In China, our 11-boxer, five-coach squad was exposed to both the Beijing and Shanghai boxing academies for 11 days. The exposure to different techniques and training cultures was an ideal tool for the academy. Plenty of cultural events were tied into the visit as well, such as the Great Wall of China, the Summer Palace and the Forbidden City, which were highlights on a tough trip.

We then took five boxers and two coaches to England and trained for two weeks in 15 different gyms. This trip was brilliant, as our boxers were exposed to some incredible competition on a daily level. The highlight was sparring at the English Institute of Sport, with the best boxers in all of Great Britain, and more than holding our own.

2015 promises to be another big year. The academy has trips planned to the US for the World Ringside Titles in July, several boxers have world juniors’ and Youth Commonwealth qualifiers, while we also have the Rio Olympic qualifiers late in the year – all on top of our usual calendar of local PCYC club tournaments.

PCYC Gymnastics Academy

Coach Exchange Program - Denmark

The PCYC partnership with Danish gymnastics school Ollerup Academy Physical Education continues to grow in strength with more opportunities of a lifetime in 2014.

PCYC members Penny Schubert, then 13, and Christina Slow, then 14, were both successful in gaining scholarships to study and train at Ollerup for 12 months. The students studied the international young leaders’ course, focusing on civics, community engagement and leadership, while training in one of the gymnastics disciplines at the school.

The reciprocal arrangement is the hosting of Ollerup graduate coaches in PCYCs on a coach exchange program in Australia. This is a great opportunity for PCYC gymnasts and coaches to gain the knowledge of international coaches, while providing a memorable experience for the Danish coach, with an authentic Australian experience.

In 2014, Nadia Kofoed-Hansen was selected to travel to Australia on the coach exchange program. Nadia was a very experienced team gym coach, and she was hosted based at PCYC Taree, working with the power tumbling coaches and gymnasts to improve their skills.

Both programs continue to be successful and will further develop.

PCYC development into power tumbling.

PCYC has made a concerted effort over the past two years to develop a stronger competitive program for young people interested in power tumbling.

Results of this work started to show in 2014 with PCYC athletes Daniel Stocks and Ivan Jarvis representing NSW at Australian Gymnastics Championships, and Daniel being named under-17 national power tumbling champion.

This program continues to grow and will include trampoline and double-mini trampoline in the future.

17

Community Engagement

Over the course of 2014, a number of major community engagement activities were undertaken to engage Aboriginal and or Torres Strait Islander young people into PCYC. Some of the wonderful activities included:

Nations of Origin – this event is PCYC’s major reconciliation project and the participation rate in the 2014 was more than double that of the previous year with 64 rugby league 7s teams and 20 Futsal teams.

PCYC’s targeted funding program made 26 grants valued at $100,000 to 17 clubs across NSW.

The funds help clubs to engage with their local Aboriginal communities by introducing activities such as junior boxing, breakfast programs and/or Friday/Saturday night activities. They provide a safe place for young people.

Through these programs, 683 new Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander young people became members of their local PCYC, nine people registered to join the Blue Star citizenship program, and 36 became active PCYC club volunteers.

An engagement program was also conducted at PCYC Taree with young Aboriginal people through the sport of gymnastics.

Twelve young people trained in the mainstream program after an initial introduction to the centre and in January tried out to become a part of the famous PCYC Gymaroos.

Throughout 2014 they attended gymnastics competitions and performed numerous times, with some participating at the PCYC gala dinner in June.

These young people have worked with Bangarra Dance Theatre to prepare for the pinnacle of the program in 2015 – they will travel to Helsinki in Finland as the first Aboriginal young people to represent Australia in the sport of gymnastics at the world Gymnaestrada.

Driver Education

Safer Drivers Course for Learner Drivers (SDC)

PCYC is an approved provider from Roads & Maritime Services (RMS) in all seven “delivery regions” across NSW. PCYC has been a twice-successful tenderer for the delivery of the safer drivers course in partnership with the NSW Driver Trainers Association. The partnership has been an outstanding success with both organisations (and our learners) benefiting from this collaboration.

PCYC’s first safer drivers course was held at PCYC Campbelltown on July 22 2013. PCYC expanded to 32 locations in 2013 and an additional 15 were established in 2014, including eight satellite operations. PCYC currently runs the safer drivers course at 59 locations across NSW. A further five sites are planned for commencement during 2015.

Our milestones include the establishment of the SDC administration system and the development of administration manuals for the course. More than 60 co-ordinators, 70 facilitators and 140 coaches have been trained in SDC processes and procedures. Training has also been provided for regional general managers, club managers and other administration staff.

In 2013, 1481 Learners enrolled in the safer driver course with PCYC. This number grew to 4374 in 2014.

PCYC is currently a top-two provider with the delivery of the Safer Drivers Course for Learner Drivers.

TOIP

Under approval from the Department of the Attorney General, PCYC NSW’s traffic offenders intervention program (TOIP) is recognised as an educational program that offers the courts a sentencing (or pre-sentencing) option which serves to reduce further illegal driving.

In the year 2000, the program was run at one location and enrolled 350 participants.

TOIP has grown steadily and now encompasses 58 locations with nearly 11,000 participants enrolled in the program on a yearly basis. The table below shows the growth from 2009 to the present day:

TOIP PROGRAM GROWTH 2009 - 2014

The program underwent a substantial review in 2012. In 2015, new resources will be introduced to ensure that PCYC’s TOIP is at the forefront of educational best practice for behaviour change programs for traffic offenders.

Clubs

If our young people, staff, Police and volunteers are the strands of the PCYC movement, then our 60 clubs scattered around the state are the glue which binds them together.

From large purpose-built centres such as PCYC Cessnock to small community facilities such as PCYC Bourke, whether in an inner-city location or a small town in the bush, each club runs programs to get young people active in life, has staff who work with young people to develop their skills, character and leadership and Police and programs to help reduce and prevent crime by, and against, young people.

Our key facilities, they provide space for police youth case management, as well as for the community.

In addition to the more than 85,000 members who used our clubs in 2014, tens of thousands of other people – for instance, community group members, parents of young children attending our programs and venue hirers – have helped cement “the local PCYC” as an important part of towns and cities.

In 2015, we will be refocusing on our mission of youth engagement and looking at incorporating youth spaces and youth hub concepts into our facilities.

This will be deliberately planned to incorporate youth and community needs today and into the future.

PCYC would like to pay tribute to our club managers, regional general managers who support them and our club administrative staff and volunteers, for their dedication help to make PCYC NSW one of Australia’s strongest youth organisations.

I’m extremely pleased to see a significant growth in the number of young people who were interacting with Police both by way of case management and as program participants.

- David Scrimgeour, Commander

Blue Star

The review of our young leaders programs in 2013 resulted in the creation of a new intermediate step in the Blue Star program – Blue Star Citizenship. This program offers young people the opportunity to learn about becoming a young leader within their community and connects them with their local PCYC.

The Blue Star citizenship program was piloted in 2014 with great success, with more than 60 young people completing the program and gaining valuable experiences they could take into the future. The young people were successful in completing their bronze Duke of Edinburgh award, and made lasting connections with their local PCYC and other young people from around NSW.

The program includes a number of camps where the young people engage with peers and PCYC workers and Police Officers. It is tied together with volunteer shifts at their local PCYC, and mentorship by the club manager and support team.

In 2014, two PCYC youth ambassadors were selected to represent PCYC on the international stage. Matthew Brown and Joshua Park were selected to attend the One Young World Summit which was held in Dublin, Ireland in October 2014.

The One Young World Summit is an international event attended by young people, providing an open forum for discussions on issues and challenges faced by young people in current society.

The forum has inspirational speakers to challenge the attendees to strive toward their goals, but also includes peers who have done some amazing work in their own countries.

KidzCare

In 2014, PCYC KidzCare operated in 30 locations and provided games, excursions, craft, cooking, science, music and laughter to 3238 individual children for a total of 40,921 attendances at PCYC KidzCare.

Of those children, 2065 attended one of our services during the week of their birthday – so there were lots of birthday celebrations and some pretty good cake, too.

Forty-one children who were in the care of grandparents were able to attend our services during the school holidays at no cost to the grandparent. This allowed the children to interact with their peers and give the grandparents a little time to regroup before the “whirlwinds” came back in their doors.

Services also used inclusion support funding to allow extra staff for 20 children with additional support needs who were then able to attend our services. These extra staff enabled children to be supported as they joined in our activities.

Volunteers

PCYC Newcastle president Ruth Mitchell was honoured for 45 year’s work for the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme. The award was presented at Government House, Sydney, by His Royal Highness Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex. Ruth said His Royal Highness was impressed that four generations of her family had completed the DofE Award.

Ruth has been volunteering for PCYC for more than 30 years, attaining some of the movement’s highest honours.

PCYC Far South Coast volunteer Imogen Pittolo was named joint Bega Valley young citizen of the year. The local Bega District News highlighted her win, saying the anti-bullying campaigner was a teen role model.

This was in recognition of her work in setting up and promoting the Get Up, Stand Up and Fight Facebook page with her friend Katelyn Jensen of Tumut.

The girls post anti-bullying videos, inspirational messages and links to other websites such as beyondblue, Reach Out and the Australia’s National Youth Mental Health Foundation’s Head Space site.

As a PCYC volunteer, she has helped organise boxing for fitness-healthy lifestyle programs and the promotion the importance and benefits of daily exercise.

PCYC Armidale life governor Brian Flint was recognised as the Armidale Senior Citizen of the Year. A life-long PCYC supporter, Brian’s father was on the original Armidale committee in 1950 and Brian was “dragged along as five or six-year-old”.

“I joined the committee 1965 and took over weightlifting section,” he said.

“We have had really successful Olympic weightlifting setup and a lot of Australian

champions have come out of here.”

Brian was made a life governor of PCYC Armidale in the 1980s and is still one of hundreds of members and volunteers who are helping to make the New England club a great success and a vital part of the community.

Communications Marketing and Events

Major events and announcements are co-ordinated through state office with club managers supported by the communications and marketing team for releases in their area.

Our “hit rate” for coverage across the state is quite often one newspaper story a day, with very good coverage for PCYCs which operate in regional and remote NSW.

PCYC has more than 140 active Facebook sites and websites for clubs and activities.

Our Facebook presence is a strong one in most club areas and, combined with our NSW Facebook site, we have more than 50,000 “likers” available to receive PCYC news. These numbers are regularly exceeded by the reach of posts.

Time4Kkids

PCYCs around Australia launch their annual “Time4Kids” fund-raising effort in April in a bid to raise more than $1 million to help reduce youth crime in communities around the nation.

Some of Australia’s leading business, entertainment, sporting and community personalities “did time” in mock jail cells to help raise funds for their local PCYC as part of Time4Kids.

PCYCs across NSW, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and in Victoria joined forces in the largest combined effort ever staged.

During April’s National Youth Week, hundreds of participants from all walks of life came together to support their local PCYC club and “Do Time to Stop Youth Crime”.

As partnership between the community and state Police Forces, PCYC was able to showcase its work as one of the largest youth organisations in Australia, with more than 140 clubs and more than 200,000 members across the state organisations.

Properties

PCYC NSW’s property portfolio is a large and diverse mix of assets, ranging from historically significant buildings (PCYC Woolloomooloo and PCYC Tamworth), to the latest and most advanced in sporting facilities (PCYC Orange and PCYC Cessnock).

PCYC owns, manages and operates more than 70 properties across NSW. Acting as trust managers on behalf of the Crown and holding several leases with local government, we apply a range of asset management techniques to our properties to best service the communities with which we are associated.

PCYC NSW continues to improve its facilities through capital works programs. Two clubs received a major renovation and 10 clubs also benefited from a minor improvements to their entry foyers and control areas. Other vital works were undertaken across PCYC clubs which have either improved the organisation’s capacity to deliver programs and activities to its members, minimised operational risk or increased the longevity of our sites.

Under the federal government’s community energy efficiency program (CEEP), all 57 clubs shared in a $1.72 million retrofit of lighting.

The objectives of the project were to:

• improve the energy efficiency across PCYC NSW facilities by reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions;

• reduce the continuing cost of lighting maintenance and capital replacements; and

• improve general safety and compliance using clean lighting technologies.

The project delivered excellent energy reductions across the state. With a total energy reduction of 31 per cent from 3131 MWh to 2193 MWh, this equates to an annual saving of $315,986.

Under the NSW government’s community building partnerships program, a total of 29 projects valued at $630,000 were approved for PCYC NSW for a variety of works, including heating, ventilation and airconditioning upgrades, bathroom renovations, disability access improvements and renewal of sports floor surfaces.

PCYC Hornsby.

In late 2014, the PCYC NSW board of directors voted on the sale of the Hornsby site and for a complete redevelopment of a new club to serve the Hornsby and Waitara local government areas on the site of the Waitara sports precinct. The new home of PCYC Hornsby will be a state-of-the-art sporting and recreation facility. Architectural plans, feasibility studies and community/local government consultation are well underway and construction is planned to begin in 2015 for opening in mid-2016.

PCYC Cessnock.

The new PCYC Cessnock was officially opened by the Governor-General, His Excellency General the Honourable Sir Peter Cosgrove AK MC (Ret’d) and Lady Cosgrove on August 17. This amazing new regional PCYC brings the latest in rock climbing, gymnastics and skate park facilities to the youth of the greater Hunter area.

The new club was the vision of volunteer club president Peter Rosemond, OAM, and its completion is a testament to his dedication.
