Breakfast Meeting with Paralympian Liesl Tesch
Peter Clarke • July 21, 2021
Zoom Breakfast meeting 21 Jul 21
We had a wonderful zoom meeting this morning with our fantastic local member of Parliament Liesl Tesch MP. Liesl is the Member for Gosford and is currently in her second term in the New South Wales Parliament. Liesl is also the President of the Parliamentary Lions Club and the Parliamentary Friends of Paralympics and Olympics.
Before entering politics, Liesl was a Paralympic champion and competed at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, 2004 Athens Olympics, 2008 Beijing Olympics, 2012 London Olympics and 2016 Rio Olympics winning two gold medals for Australia in sailing, two silver medals and a bronze medal for basketball.
This morning Liesl shared her personal stories from competition, training and logistics and the tremendous challenges, rewards and honour of being an Australian Paralympic athlete. Liesl also talked about the particular challenge that the Tokyo Olympics presents for all athletes and support crew accompanying the team. We were encouraged to reach out to our athletes and support them online. We will do this both as a club and as individuals!

Get ready to chuckle, chortle, and maybe even snort a little, because the comedy event of the year is about to land on the Central Coast! On the 1st of March, 2024, at 7pm, the Park View Room at the Central Coast Leagues Club will be echoing with laughter, all for a great cause. And who better to lead this laughter riot than the maestro of mirth, the sultan of satire, the one and only Peter Berner!
