Spotlight on....

This week we shine a spotlight on one of our wonderful ERNA volunteers - Sue Woodhouse.

Sue was awarded Life Membership with ERNA in 2022 and ERNA Volunteer of the Year (sponsored by Roy Maggio) in 2024.

We recently caught up with Sue to ask her a little about volunteering with ERNA.

Q. How long have you volunteered for ERNA?

A. Approx. 16 years!

Q. What are some of the Committee positions you have volunteered in at ERNA?

A. I've been involved with the Grading, Appeals, Trophy & Events and Carnival Committees over the years. I have also been Ground Supervisor at Meadowbank Park for the past 10 years.

Q. What do you enjoy about volunteering for ERNA?

A. I love meeting the club members who used to come up to the Control Tower to collect scoreboards and ask questions. I also get a lot of satisfaction being part of a great community of volunteers.

Q. Are you also a member of one of our affiliated clubs? If yes, which one?

A. I'm a Life Member of Dundas United.

Q. Did you play netball growing up? Tell us a few memories of your netball years….

A. I played netball at primary school, high school (representative) and also played in the Northern Suburbs Netball Association competition. After I married and moved to Ermington I played with Eastwood RSL with Norma Woods as the President. I then played with Aquarians when my son was younger. I was also Club Secretary for Dundas United for approx. 10 years – during those years I was awarded Life Membership with the club.

Q. What are you looking forward to once we move into our new home of netball?

A. Not getting up at 5am and meeting the Competitions Convenor Trevor at Meadowbank in the dark and cold weather to check the courts and open the building! The new facility will be very different and exciting – especially with brand new courts and better drainage!

Thanks Sue for dedicating so many years of Saturdays to our Association -

we are lucky to have you part of our ERNA family!
