The reports presented by the President and Treasurer highlighted the Club's outstanding financial and membership growth. We're proud to report a high level of interest, with numerous requests from entire teams wishing to join us. However, our current facilities are operating at full capacity.

Calling on our WBFC Community!

We're reaching out to ask for support for someone who has given so much to our club: our incredible Under 17 Girls A Grade Coach, Ian Weimer.

Ian isn't just a coach; he's a mentor, a source of unwavering encouragement, and a true champion for every player who steps onto the field. Now, he and his family need our support as they navigate a challenging time.

If Ian has ever helped you or your daughter grow as a player or a person, please consider making a contribution to or better still, attend his fundraiser. Every dollar helps ease their burden and lets them focus on what truly matters.

It's been a tough time for Ian and his family - let's show Ian the depth of the Warners Bay FC family's spirit.
