On Sunday, January 26th, the Derby Sportsman Club was the place to be!
.
We kicked off the day with a buzzing community breakfast. Around 150 of us enjoyed delicious food, great music, and even better company.
.
Also, we had the absolute honor of welcoming four brand new citizens – how wonderful is that?! We also gave a big round of applause to all the amazing nominees and award recipients for Citizen of the Year – talk about local heroes!
.
The
2025 Citizens of the Year are as follows:

Community Citizen of the Year: Kierin Thompson
|

Community Citizen of the Year (Senior): Fred Russ
|

Active Citizenship Award (Community Organisation or Event): CWA Derby/West Kimberley
|
Community Citizen of the Year (Youth): Lionel Marr
.
But the fun didn't stop there! The afternoon saw another 140 people join the party, this time with a focus on families and kids.
Think giant inflatables, yummy BBQ afternoon tea and lots of laughter. It was a day packed with community spirit and good times for everyone! What a way to celebrate Australia Day!
