You may not be able to guess who Fairparker of the Week is straight off – the problem being there just aren’t too many photos of Stephen on his own! Not only that, but whenever we see him, Stephen normally has a cap and sunglasses on!
Nevertheless, the Fairparker of the Week for this week is Stephen Mitchell.
Stephen is a dedicated asset to this club. He’s put this hand to most things, including coaching, facilities maintenance, committee several years running, stepping in when needed in whatever Alycia is working on, excellent observer of the game and the minute Fairpark put in a mens team, he’s first in line.
Stephen is at the courts at the beginning of the day for Tilda’s game, dashes off for whatever sport Jaiden is playing that week, and comes throughout the day as he can. For selections and extra training courses, Stephen is there organising it for all of us.
Quite the smart arse, when asked a serious question about the club, he gives a considered and reflective opinion. Definitely not a ‘yes’ man, he’s just what you need on the committee, and he’s helped tremendously with this first year president. Not to mention, early morning coffee runs.
Next time you see Stephen at the courts, or opening up at Fairpark whenever we need, pass on your congratulations and thank him for everything he does at the club. (Just picture him with a cap and sunglasses)
Thank you Stephen, your shout for coffee Saturday?
