With the Club since
1996, Bob has been Coach of all the B.U.C.S.C Senior teams up to current
date.
Having held the
positions on the Committee as President, Vice President and General
Committee, for the last 5 years he has been in the position as Director of
Coaching of the Club.
Bob was in 2003,
appointed Life Member of B.U.C.S.A & the S.C.C.S.A, still a feat to this
day that has not been matched in Churches Soccer history!!
Bob began his career in
Kiama N.S.W, as a 14yr old Referee (The youngest in NSW Soccer Federation
History), to gain a full soccer certificate.
Upon his move to
Canberra in 1979, he joined the Harmony Germany Club as a Semi
Professional Player.
The rest, as they say is
history, with Bob having Coached a number of children at B.U.C.S.C, some
of which, have not needed an assessment by a mental health expert after
going through the process!!
Bob is the current
Director of Coaching of B.U.C.S.C, and in his 11th year, continues to
enjoy Coaching children, talking at schools, and as they used to say on
the TV show "The A-Team", a mad fool.
In our 21st Year, we
might find it in our hearts to shout him a drink, but we know his
satisfaction comes out of seeing "kids" enjoy "The World" Game", first and
foremost.
CONGRATULATION TO OUR
LIFE MEMBERS.
(P.S) Don't try to give
Bob a hug!! A Pit Bull is a better candidate!!!!!

This "veteran", has had
an amazing Football experience!!
It all began back in
England in 1928, before John emigrated to Australia in 1949.
He has had an Army
background, and in 60's, was appointed a Life Member of Redland Bay Soccer
Club in Brisbane as a mark of appreciation.
John has also been a
Coach in Kingaroy, and joined B.U.C.S.C 12 years ago, to assist his
Grandson Mitch.
While his contribution
as a Coach are without a doubt, he continues on despite having no further
family connection to the Club.
John, (Sorry Mate), is
78 years young this year, and was awarded Life Membership of B.U.C.S.C in
2003, in clear recognition of is outstanding service as a Coach to the
Club.
John has also held the
distinction of being a Representative Coach of the S.C.C.S.A, which I
know, was a great moment for him with the Rep children.
This year in our 21st
Year, just go up and give the "old bugger" a hug, as show of 11 years
service to the "Blue and White Army" of B.U.C.S.C.
Thank you John, as a
leader and role model from the "old school", there will never be words to
express our gratitude.

In 1983 Mark was playing touch footy with his mates and also played rep for the Coast. He played for the next 20 years. In 1997 his son wanted to play soccer well what do we do there ( get in and help) Marks wife Jo said were here and to help make our club stronger . In 2003 Marks wife Jo joined the committee as well as Mark in the years to come this husband and wife team have helped in many ways to help children reach their goals. The churches soccer is a Passion to Mark he enjoys seeing children play the world game and to have lots of fun as well. In 2007 Mark joined the Sccsa as a photographer and takes most of the photos for the Sccsa. Since 1997 Mark has seen lots of changes in the Bucsc from a club to have no home grounds to a permanent home ground at Fishermans Road . Mark has seen many highlights since being involved in our club including seeing his both children playing in grand finals to seeing his son play rep for the Sunshine Coast. In 2006 his son played at the National titles at Mooloolah. But one moment that Mark savors the most is seeing two Buderim players playing for QLD at Buderim at the National Titles in 2008. Thanks for your help Mark. Well done to all our life members.

In 1997 Damian her son
came home from school with a note saying he wanted play soccer after a
school parade.
That year was a great one for her and her family and the dream began. In 1998 she was the manager of her sons side the Bulls. Many years passed as she kept on as the manager of both her children's Teams and she done this with a family as well. Jo has done some amazing things in her life but the challenge was still to come as she took on the secretaries job in 2003. Since that moment in her life she has taken on the job to become the hub of our great club there are not to many children in the Buderim community that don't know Jo. Jo is not just a club person she is what you would call a legend in our club. She spends that much time to keep the Buderim Club what it is today. As a lot of people don't know Jo is team Buderim as she has guided our teams around the parks for years . Her job has not been a easy one in more ways than one. But the true spirit she has shown towards our club is amazing. In the ten years that Jo has enjoyed in this great club she has always gave her best and im proud to be part of this great woman's life. Thank you Jo Life Member
