    "Our [East Arnhem Region Sport Education] programs would not be possible with out the generous support of many individuals and organisations within the region. Sincere thanks to East Arnhem Regional Council for their continued support of our sport programs in 2025.


    "This year we acquired a trailer and with a grant from EARC we were able to have the trailer coated with distinctive art work and logos to represent our region.


    "We look forward to further servicing the region with more sports events in 2026."
