Woodend-Hesket’s new life member

Well done: Hawks’ president Paul Podbury congratulates head trainer Glenn Palmer on his life membership.

Woodend-Hesket Football Netball Club’s head trainer Glenn Palmer has been unanimously elected as the club’s latest life member. 

At the club’s annual meeting on Wednesday evening Palmer was praised for his expertise and dedicated service over the past 15 years. 

A paramedic by profession, Palmer has helped many Hawks’ players with injury problems, some minor, some serious, over the years. 

Club president Paul Podbury said he could personally vouch for the head trainer’s abilities, briefly referring to the time he sustained a ruptured kidney back in 2016. 

Palmer’s meticulous approach preparing for Saturday matches was a fine example. 

The Hawks’ committee had unanimously endorsed the approach to have the head trainer installed as a life member.
