New archery equipment

Club Umina recently donated $750 towards the purchase of new archery equipment for Umina PCYC.

Club general manager Mr Josh Collins said Club Umina was committed to seeing projects and activities in the area remain sustainable for local youth.

"Club Umina sees the value in giving kids something to keep them entertained," Mr Collins said.

"We will continue to work closely with general manager Allison Carpenter to ensure a strong future for the Umina PCYC."

Ms Carpenter said Umina PCYC was eagerly awaiting the delivery of new archery equipment that would ensure the new program was accessible for all ages.

Mr Collins said the donation was made available through the club's Community Development and Support Expenditure Scheme which has donated $12,000 to Umina Beach Surf Life Saving Club this year.

"This grant is crucial to the funding of the club's juniors program and the administration costs involved with training, coaching and equipment," Mr Collins said.

"This grant has enabled the club to replace a lot of the out of date equipment including some of the surf life saving reels that were 20 to 30 years old."
