In the past few days State parliament has heard about the good deeds of 2017 Jubilee award recipients and record breaking performances from Campbelltown Collegians Athletics Club.
In community recognition statements, the state member for Campbelltown, Greg Warren, paid tribute to both groups in recent days.
“Congratulations to the Campbelltown Collegians Athletics Club on its efforts and record breaking achievements at recent zone, region and State carnivals,’’ the local MP told parliament.
“I had the privilege of attending the club’s awards ceremony and meeting many of the talented athletes, committee members, volunteers and parents involved in the club.
“I congratulate the State relay team on achieving six gold, one silver and three bronze medals in the November championships. At the zone championships last December the club won 112 gold, 112 silver and 106 bronze medals.
“An impressive 27 zone records were also broken at this meeting.
“The region championships held in February saw the club bring home 58 gold, 55 silver and 51 bronze medals.
“In March, 78 of the club’s athletes competed at the State championships and demonstrated their outstanding sportsmanship, hard work and perseverance by winning seven gold, three silver and nine bronze medals,’’ Mr Warren said.
The MP also acknowledged the recipients of the 2017 Campbelltown City Council Jubilee Awards.
Mr Warren says the awards highlight the “fantastic service that members of our local community have provided and continue to do so to enrich our region’’.
“I congratulate Campbelltown City Council’s 2017 Jubilee Award recipients.

“All of these people have given tirelessly for many years by volunteering their time and performing charity work in the Campbelltown community, without the expectation of reward.
“I recognise the work of Brigitte Wilkinson, Edmund Baker, Colin Ludgate, Gwen and John Overton, Barry Daley, Rycie Dickson, Frederick and Margaret Briggs, Margaret Anderson, Michael Kerry and Susan Austin, all of whom live within my electorate of Campbelltown.
“Many of these people are still working to make our city a better place to live than it already is and the Campbelltown community is extremely grateful to them.
“I congratulate Campbelltown City Council on conducting this memorable event, along with all award recipients.’’
