Tree falls on footy clubrooms

Part of a large eucalypt tree fell onto the Drouin Football Club's social rooms at the recreation reserve last week.
Club president Chris Soumilas said fortunately the tree did not penetrate the roofing and cause water damage inside the building from the heavy rain that accompanied the gale force winds during Tuesday's storm.
However, a quick inspection on Wednesday morning revealed several broken trusses in the roof.
Electricity was cut off to the area of the building most affected.
Mr Soumilas said Baw Baw Shire staff responded quickly on Wednesday to remove the part of the tree that hit the club rooms and returned later in the week to remove the remainder ahead of Saturday's annual Ficifolia Festival activities at the reserve.
He said it was hoped repairs to the structure would be undertaken in the next few weeks.
