Registered club wins health award

A local registered club has received a highly commended award in the health category at the 2016 Clubs and Community Awards.

Ettalong Diggers was recognised for "their impressive initiative to educate the community about the dangers of illicit drug use".

As part of its campaign, Ettalong Diggers partnered with community groups and leaders to host youth forums, and extend the "barred from one, barred from all" program administered by the Brisbane Water Liquor Accord.

Clubs NSW chief executive officer, Mr Anthony Ball, congratulated Ettalong Diggers for their win at the Clubs and Community Awards.

"The education and support that Ettalong Diggers has provided to people and families in the local area through its award-winning program is inspiring, and we are proud of the way in which they have dedicated both their time and resources to keeping the community safe."
