Weston Workers Club Deputation To Council

Soccer Ground Wanted At Park

One of council's main difficulties with amenity projects was securing contract, tenders and, apart from the Kurri Kurri Baths and the Kurri Baby Health Centre, they bad been unable to secure any contractors, the Shire Clerk (Mr. W. J. Grieve) told a deputation from the Weston Workers' Club at a meeting of Kearsley Shire Council on Tuesday night. The deputation, comprising the President (Mr. J. Comerford) and the Secretary (Mr. G. Robinson) told the meeting that they were anxious that part of the Weston Park be prepared as a soccer ground. They said that the club, whose premises were situated on the Park, was sponsoring a soccer team, but the team had no home ground. Last year the team used the Kurri soccer ground, but this would be closed this year because the Kurri club had disbanded.
