including over 40 media representatives.

Manager); John Howard (Prime Minister of Australia); Ray McCard

It was a unique opportunity to promote the club to the wider
community and the visit received media coverage in the press and
on TV.

his address, the Prime Minister pledged a $10,000 donation to
the club if his Government was re-elected.
