EUROA Basketball is entering an exciting new phase as it welcomes Tim Burton as its new president, following the conclusion of another successful year.

The change in leadership marks the beginning of a new chapter for the club, with fresh energy and a dedicated team taking the reins.

The club would like to extend heartfelt thanks to the outgoing committee—Kristy, Amanda, Jaime, and Sam—whose hard work and commitment over the past season have been nothing short of extraordinary.

With only four members filling more than 15 roles, their dedication ensured the smooth operation of the club and its growth.

Their legacy includes fostering new partnerships, expanding programs, and creating an inclusive environment for all players.

Euroa Basketball is now poised for continued growth and success, with an enthusiastic new committee at the helm for 2025:

President – Tim Burton

Vice President – Melinda Watson

Secretary – Michael Collings

Treasurer – Kristie Norton

General Committee – Michelle Hanslow, Laura Collings, and Paula Burton

Behind the scenes, a dedicated team of support staff is ensuring the ongoing success of the club’s operations:

Junior Development Officers – Dan Boote and Guy Ortlipp

Junior Domestic Coordinators – James Bodycoat and Paul Enright

Equipment Officer – Andrew van Horen

General Helpers – Will Oldmeadow and Samson Sibanda

A special mention also goes to:

Michael Collings – Men’s & Ladies Coordinator, Referee Supervisor, and Referee Coach

Laura Collings – Child Safety Officer, Media, and PlayHQ

Paula Burton – Grants and Sponsorship Coordinator

The new committee is already looking forward to continuing the work of their predecessors, building on the solid foundation laid by the outgoing team.

With the support of this capable group, Euroa Basketball is set to grow and thrive in the years to come, continuing to offer an inclusive environment for players of all ages and abilities.

At a recent presentation evening on Wednesday, 20 March, Tim Burton expressed his gratitude to the outgoing committee for their dedication and hard work, acknowledging the challenges they faced and praising their efforts in securing the financial future of the club, which will allow for continued investment in players, coaches, and facilities.

“Running a committee with just four people while filling over 15 different roles is no small feat,” Burton said.

“They’ve not only kept the club running but have set it up for future success."

With the new leadership team in place, Euroa Basketball is ready to take on new opportunities and challenges, and continues to embody the spirit of growth, inclusivity, and community that has always been at its core.

Here’s to the next chapter of Euroa Basketball, one that promises continued success and a vibrant future for all involved.
