He rejoined the committee and continued as Bar Manager until 2014 when he was elected President of the club, a position he's held to the present day. Simmo is also a member of the "Brains Trust" the group of loyal supporters who stand near our coaches box at each home game and are not backward in expressing their views on coaching moves, umpiring decisions and whose turn it is to go to the outside bar to get the next shout! Simmo was awarded Life Membership of the LFNC in 2018. There is no doubt that Simmo loves the Lilydale Football and Netball Club and shows a fantastic example of what our club culture is -COMMUNITY, SUCCESS AND RESPECT.
