Alan Rockley was a keen supporter of sport in North Queensland and his legacy lives on through a Sports Fund set up in association with the proprietors of the Tolga Hotel.
Big Rock as he was affectionately known was heavily involved in sport on the tablelands both as a player, coach and administrator. His Brothers, sons, nephews and their immediate families are still involved in all forms of sport within the district so it is fitting that this fund is set up in his name to reflect his dedication and love of the area and the community. The Rockley family through it’s involvement in the Tolga Hotel wish to create a Sports Fund that will allow young sports people on the tablelands to realise their dreams through a support network that will sponsor specific sporting associations and individuals.
But to make this happen we need your support.
Objective of the ARMSF
To enable young members of the community to develop in their chosen sport by providing funding to nominated sporting organisations and specific individuals who meet set criteria. This will allow these organisations to provide facilities that will allow young athletes to truly develop their potential as well as young individuals to compete at the highest level should funding otherwise prevent them from doing so. Your support will get to the grassroots who often struggle to gain support from the corporate sector in the way of sponsorship.
The Rockley Family has a vision to develop young sports people in our community who will be the future stars of the Australian Sport scene. Wouldn’t it be great to see a young member of our community standing on the dias at the next Olympics and know that you had a part in their success. Your support will ensure the long term future of the Fund of which the benefits will not be realised for several years as the young athletes of the future begin to benefit from your support.
The development of young athletes is our No 1 priority while providing a safe and enjoyable environment for them to participate. Your support for the program will be gratifying and appreciated helping many young sports men and women achieve their goals.
