At our recent AGM, we farewelled one of our Vice President’s in Stuart Geros, who announced that he would be standing down from his position.
Manly Touch would like to thank Stuart for his valuable contribution over the years. Stuart was our Junior Rep Director from 2014-2018 and an Executive Committee Member from 2017 to 2021, holding down these two very important and time-consuming positions of the club at the one time Stu will be truly missed by everyone on the Executive, and we would not have been able to achieve the success this club has experienced in recent years without his valuable contribution. During Stu’s tenure we have seen enormous growth in our junior competition numbers, and one of the most significant measures was the introduction of Development teams for Junior State Cup, which has created a pathway for our talented athletes, and we have been JSC Club Champions every year it has been awarded.
However, in good news, we have not lost Stu entirely from Manly Touch as he will still remain on our Management Committee. Also some exciting news, we are pleased to advise that Stu was elected to the Touch Football Australia Board at their recent AGM. As Anita Hagarty, TFA Chair stated, Stu brings a “significant, and importantly, a diverse set of skills to the TFA” and he shares “a passion for the sport and a deep connection to the touch football community which we feel is important.” These sentiments are definitely echoed by Manly Touch. We would like to congratulate Stu on his appointment and wish him well working alongside the rest of the TFA Board and leading our sport into the future.
