Proposed name for Wright Park amenities building

We have received a proposal from the Queanbeyan United Rugby League Football Club to name the new Wright Park amenities block as the Bobby Warner Pavilion in acknowledgement of long-term President and Volunteer of the Senior and Junior Rugby Leagues Club Bobby Warner. The proposal to name the new Wright Park amenities block after Bobby Warner is supported by the QPRC Sports Council.

Wright Park is used by Queanbeyan United Junior Blues Rugby League, Queanbeyan Athletics, Queanbeyan Junior Cricket Club, Bungendore Tigers Senior Rugby League, and school Athletic carnivals.

Below is a brief list of Bobby’s volunteer contribution:

• Served on the Queanbeyan United Rugby League Football Club, Queanbeyan United Junior Rugby Football Club for over 40 years.
• President of Queanbeyan United Junior Rugby League Football Club for over 30 years.
• Director on the Queanbeyan Leagues Club Board for over 35 years.
• Organised and supervised canteen facilities at Seiffert Oval and Wright Park for the Senior and Junior Blues plus the Canberra Raiders when they had home games at Seiffert Oval. He supervised the running of these canteens for over 30 years.
• When the Canberra Raiders moved to Bruce Stadium, Bobby organised the canteens there for many years until a catering company was appointed.
• Bobby was nominated for Australian of the Year in 2011
