Primary Club of Australia

Apart from the combined generosity of the local community, or most substantial supporter has been the Primary Club of Australia. Our sincere thanks to them, particularly James Braddock and Lindy Stuart, who met with us at Beverley Park School to assess their needs. They came to the party with a magnificent $57,000 to fund equipment amenities and the softplay area. The fact is the playground could not have been completed without them.

What is the Primary Club?

  • A registered charity founded in 1974
  • The fundamental aim is to give people with disabilities the opportunity to experience the joy and exhilaration that comes from any form of physical activity
  • A similar charity was formed in England over 50 years ago where a “primary” is a first ball dismissal in cricket—what is called a “golden duck” in Australia, as depicted in our logo
How do we raise money?
  • In addition to an annual subscription, our members pay “fines” (as an optional donation) for every primary scored by an Australian player in test matches and one-day internationals during the previous year.
  • The club also holds many exciting sporting and social functions for members and their guests. These include golf days, a day at the races, plus breakfasts, luncheons, dinners and cocktail parties associated with Test and ODI matches and other functions, all of which are also attended by a number of well known sporting identities.
