VOLUNTEERS
NT Sports Volunteer Network
NT Sport & Recreation has created the NT Volunteer Network. Here you will find valuable resources and be able to connect with other sports volunteers in the Territory.
Volunteer Skills Sessions
Run every 2 months at both DBCYA & DSC on a variety of topics that can assist to upskill Race Day Volunteers. The training is FREE and a great way to get to know other volunteers. If your club (or you) have a specific topic you would like to see added to the program, please email claire.hall@sailing.org.au

NT SPORTS AWARDS
This year sailing had two people make it through to the finalists. Saturday night was a great celebration of all things sports in the NT and as a sport we were well represented both in nominations and attendance.
Kirsty Sheehy from Gove Boat Club made it to the final three for the Volunteer of the Year category. Whilst Alanna Field from Darwin Sailing Club took home the Coach of the Year award. If you see either of them around be sure to congratulate them on their nominations and awards.
