Neal, affectionally known as Horrie, is a life member of Eastwood after serving the club for 35 years. Horrie straps all players each week, drives the van to all away games and runs water during First Grade games. The club would be lost without him.
Ian’s commitment to the safety of all players within the club is paramount, diligently assisting with field set-up and physio equipment stocktake. Leading communication across all club volunteers, Ian ensures every individual feels informed, involved and appreciated, no matter their status within the club. Ian is sure to always bring club concerns to the appropriate stakeholders, always offering his own time at the service of others.
The Whitehouse family have been involved with the Galloping Greens for over a decade at the club's junior and senior levels. The family, made up of Gina, Paul, David, Lianna and Ally, care deeply about the success of the club and devote countless hours each week to ensure the smooth operation of all home games and office management. The family connect with every member of the Randwick family with love and generosity, in turn, they’re respected deeply by the whole community.
Robbie’s commitment to Warringah is not confined to just match day services, often found hanging sponsor’s signs, stocking bar fridges and carrying out maintenance in the gym and club rooms. He embodies the community-based spirit of the club, ensuring that facilities are in the best condition possible and creating a welcoming environment for players and visitors alike. While Robbie values individual contributions, he continually emphasises the importance of team culture. His proactive approach ensures that the club maintains its standards of respect and camaraderie.
