Congratulations to Moe Racing Club and Morwell Bowling Club for their achievements at the Community Clubs Victoria awards

Moe Club triumphs

The Moe Racing Club took out the Regional Community Club Award, and the club's own Jo Wouters was awarded Club Person of the Year. The Nationals' Member for Morwell, Martin Cameron said, "These awards are testament to the commitment of our local clubs to providing outstanding facilities and services to members and visitors."

"The Morwell Bowling Club's refurbishment has earned high praise from industry professionals who were blown away by the quality of the venue after the Victorian Open earlier this year. I can also attest to the quality of food on offer at the club, so it's no surprise it also won Best Community Club Bistro/Restaurant."

"The Moe Racing Club has been a standout in its field for a long time, and the award of Regional Community Club of the Year is certainly just reward. Congratulations also to Jo Wouters who was awarded Club Person of the Year in a very strong field," Mr Cameron said.

Celebrate community clubs

Mr Cameron added, "Community clubs are the lifeblood of regional communities and are so often full of quiet achievers, so it's magnificent to see them celebrated for their commitment to ensuring locals have a place to participate, build connections and develop pride of place."

"We can't underestimate the contribution community clubs make in our regions, and I would like to congratulate all the winners and entrants at this year's Community Clubs Victoria awards for making the Valley a great place to live," he said.
