A MAGISTRATE has ordered a Creswick man to run an alcohol education seminar for his football club after he was caught drink-driving following a club event.The Creswick Football Netball Club will also be investigated by Good Sports, a program run by the Australian Drug Foundation designed to change the booze culture that exists in many sporting clubs.The Ballarat Magistrates Court heard yesterday that on June 19 Darren Mitchell, 41, spent the morning watching his son play junior football before acting as runner for an under-18s match.Defence lawyer Jon Irwin said Mitchell then worked in the afternoon before attending a junior football presentation at the Lake Wendouree Football Club where he admitted to drinking two bottles of beer.Mitchell then drove to the Creswick Football Club, where he continued to drink with friends. Despite living close to the club, Mitchell decided to drive home and was intercepted by police in Albert Street, Creswick about 10.30pm.He was breath-tested and recorded a reading of .161.Magistrate Kay Robertson questioned why Mitchell and other adults were drinking at a junior presentation, considering the AFL's attitude towards alcohol and sport.She imposed the mandatory license suspension of 16 months, and made the unusual decision not to convict Mitchell.Instead, she ordered him to organise, co-ordinate and run an alcohol road safety awareness program through the Creswick Football Netball Club."In my view, (this is a) far greater benefit to the community than just paying a fine," Mr Robertson said."You clearly have a high standing in the community."Australian Drug Foundation chief executive officer John Rogerson said since the Creswick Football Netball Club was a member of the Good Sports program, which promotes the responsible serving of alcohol, they will be subject to an investigation."We see this as a really serious issue and we have an incident process to deal with these sort of things," he said."Our message is to support clubs to manage alcohol responsibly."That's why these issues are important for us to investigate and to see what the issues are involved."
