Sport History Panel: Celebrating Sunshine Coast Ball Sports
Join us for a lively and insightful panel discussion exploring the rich history of ball sports on the Sunshine Coast. Hear from a diverse group of local voices—from grassroots participants to elite athletes—as they share stories, experiences, and ideas for growing community sport.
Our four panellists are James Hill from the spinners, Paralympian Bridie Kean, Lynda from the Sunshine Coast Goannas soccer club, and Kay Meredith. They will reflect on their unique journeys while finding common ground on how to support and promote local sporting culture. The discussion will be moderated by Dr. Kate Kirby, a historian specialising in sport history and heritage, with a focus on regional and rural narratives.
Expect engaging stories ranging from backyard games to professional stadiums, pivotal sporting moments, local innovations, and the fascinating histories behind objects featured in the museum exhibition. Audience participation is encouraged, so bring your questions!
The panel will be followed by a networking session with morning tea provided. This free event is open to all—come along and celebrate the spirit of Sunshine Coast sport.
👉 Don’t miss this opportunity to connect, learn, and be inspired. Reserve your spot today and be part of the conversation!
