00:00 I first came out here about 3, 4 years ago now when my eldest son wanted to have a go

00:11 at Ausky.

00:12 I started off in the under 6's, it just so happened that Matthew was the under 6 coordinator

00:17 at that stage.

00:18 I jumped out there and all of a sudden it's like hey I know you so you're going to be

00:24 here every week and you can help me out.

00:26 That's really how a lot of our coordinators start, sort of starting to get the rewards

00:31 of seeing the improvement of all the other kids as well.

00:34 It was similar to 12 months earlier, everyone met in the middle and there was no under 6

00:39 coordinators to actually run the sessions so Andy Lee and I were like yeah ok we'll

00:44 take it.

00:45 It sort of started from there and then just followed the journey and then took the role

00:49 next year.

00:50 We're very lucky I think to have a lot of volunteers and people to help out because

00:54 it makes our job so much easier when you've got some trusted people to help out.

00:58 It's really enjoyable to see that as they become little 5 year olds and then you pass

01:02 them on to the next journey.
