This years Summit will include updates on initiatives from the 2008-2009 Summit including the Sports Field Utilisation project, Sports Planning 2009, the results of the Indoor Facilities Strategy, & a progress report on the GCCC Club Handbook.  New topics at this Summit amongst other things will include: Club Sustainability Check-up, Liquor Licensing, Sports Planning 2010, & an update on the SRQ Sports Funding Review.

 Two new initiatives will also be included in this years summit:

• Sports Fusion Information Expo-a series of stalls relevant to clubs providing information  on,  Leasing, Building Improvements, Signage, Grants, Good Sports, Active & Healthy etc.  The Expo will be open through the lunch break and staffed by subject experts from GCCC and other organisations.
