The club’s volunteers have worked hard to make the Finley Pro Rodeo at Easter and the RiceStrippers BnS Ball - held at the weekend - as successful as possible.
But that’s not all they do.
Thanks to the hard work and dedication of our members and their families, who generously donate their time, Apex has also contributed to a number of local initiatives.
This includes:
• Apex volunteers have helped with carting straw from farms to feedlots, irrigating crops, and other farm operations on Finley Passionate Community Participants (PCP) farms, including spraying, cartage, harvest, and spreading.
• Donations to young local athletes to assist with costs for attending national championships.
• Vouchers to help families affected by house fires to get back on their feet.
• Steps for the local pool to improve accessibility.
• Electrical costs for Finley High School’s new ag plot shed.
• Water machine for Finley Primary School.
• Water tanks and plumbing for the Berrigan Motorcycle Club.
• Support for the Berrigan Childcare Centre.
• Donations to local organisations including Finley Pistol Club, Can Assist, Finley High School, the Finley Public School and St Joseph’s Finley P&Cs, Lions Club, and Finley Rec Reserve (the locations for the rodeo and BnS Ball).
“We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our members and their families for their unwavering dedication and hard work,” the club said.
“Without their support, we would not be able to achieve the positive impact we do within the community.
“Additionally, we are grateful to the community for getting behind us and supporting our events. Together, we continue to make a difference.”
Finley Apex president this year is Nathan Grimwood, who was elected at the AGM in November. Lockie Falls is vice president, Will Robertson is treasurer, and Cameron Robertson is secretary.
“We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Jackson Schifferle for his dedicated work over the past three years as president,” Mr Grimwood said.
