CONCORD WEST SECURES A PLACE IN THE DISTRICT 70 COMPETITION

Club President Philip Bendeich broke through to be placed second in the recent District 70 Evaluation Contest held as part of the District 70 Conference at the Bankstown Sports Club on 16-17th May.
We believe this is the first time a Member of Concord West Club – on behalf of Concord West Club – has gone through to be placed in this illustrious Annual Contest.
A fabulous way to round off his year as President of Concord West Club. Congratulations Philip.
