Player dropout is a significant issue and disproportionately impacts smaller clubs.
For small clubs just 2 or 3 players can be the difference between having a team and not.

I appreciate Cllr Reale speaking up but exactly what improvements are needed? It's a clearly marked pedestrian crossing & the issue is bad driving.
Speeding, aggression & phone use are rampant and no amount of flashing signs, paint on the road or other 'awareness' measures will fix that

Eschewing Bullshit Friday "deals" to go buy a drum stool from a wee family owned music shop that's been there for a million years. Got a cup of tea, a long chat about the relative merits of new and old country music, a tenner knocked off because "sure didn't I know your granda" and a better stool

A person rolled their car into my teenage son a fortnight ago. It was broad daylight and the driver was looking down while their car was rolling forward. I know, because I was yelling, trying to get their attention. Drivers who don't see us are often not looking.
