On top of this, in 2015 the WANFLUA embarked on some landmark achievements in securing a lucrative fundraising opportunity with Racing and Wagering Western Australia (RWWA) and signing off on a significantly restructured Memorandum of Understanding with the WAFC for the upcoming 2016 and 2017 seasons. Before further exploring the successes of 2015, it is imperative that I take this opportunity to thank the tremendous support and the selfless volunteered dedication of the WANFLUA committee: • Ashley Coster (Vice President) • Justin Power (Treasurer) • Alex Martin (Secretary) • David Thatcher (Social Secretary) Clayton’s contribution on the general committee has also been highly valuable.
