We would also like to sincerely thank our award sponsors;

Thank you to NSWGCSA Directors Anthony Mills, James Newell, Luke Diserens and Pat Wilson for attending the evening to represent our Association and celebrate the achievements of our award winners.

please accept our deepest and most sincere condolences

It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the passing of former Toro colleague Phillip Stephen Deaves.

Phil was respected throughout the industry for his exceptional technical expertise, quiet leadership, and genuine character. During his time with Toro, he became known not only for his ability to solve the most complex challenges, but also for the patience, wisdom, and encouragement he shared with colleagues and customers.

Phil's legacy lives on through the many lives he touched, the lessons he shared, and the friendships he built over the years.

Our heartfelt condolences go to Lyn, his children, family, friends, and all who knew him.

Rest in peace, Phil. You will be greatly missed and fondly remembered.

This could be someone within your club, business, family, or friend group, or simply someone in the broader community.

Today is R U OK? Day
We encourage all NSWGCSA members to take a moment today to reach out to a colleague, teammate, or friend. Ask the question, listen with care, and let them know they’re not alone.
If you’re finding things tough yourself, please speak with someone you trust or reach out to professional support services. There is always help available, & starting a conversation is a strong first step.

Thank you for everything you do for your teams, and our industry.
