SASA West District are delighted to launch and share their ‘Clubs Working Together’ Development Plan with you. We would like EVERY club to recognise some part of this in which they can make an impact to benefit as many members of the District as possible. Please take time to go through this within your clubs as we will be pursuing various areas within this plan from today onwards. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to have an input towards achieving this and we look forward to creating positive change.
