Clem Jones Annual Memorial Swimming Carnival
Annual Clem Jones Memorial Swimming Carnival will be held on the 19th November 2011.
Clem Jones – the man
It is aptly named after Clem Jones who has given so much to all community organisations throughout Brisbane, especially those at the Clem Jones Sports Centre and our swimming club. If it wasn’t for Clem Jones drive and energy over 50 years ago we would have such a fantastic facility to train and compete in.
Clem Jones became Lord Mayor of Brisbane in 1961 and remains the City’s longest severing mayor. He was named the Queenslander of the Year in 1990.
Sadly, Mr Jones passed away in December 2007.
He generously gave both his time and money to many organizations and the Clem Jones Sport Centre is fortunate to be beneficiary of both for many years.
The Clem Jones Centre is a non-profit organization and the initiative of the Camp Hill Carina Welfare Association.
Clem Jones vision for the centre was to see that the children of the local community had somewhere to go and play sport. There are now 17 active clubs using the centre for a wide range of sports.
