PRESIDENTS MESSAGE:
This Sunday is our Grading/Club Day and AGM at Willows ANU. Whilst we have advertised a start time of 4.00pm, can we please all Under 11, 13 and 15 players there by 3.45pm at the latest to sign up and get warmed up, so we can kick off the trials at 4.00pm?
Whilst grading for the other age groups isn’t being held then, it would be great to have everyone there for the AGM followed by a BBQ from 5.30pm. The AGM is an opportunity to recognise the efforts of the outgoing committee and contribute to the make-up of the incoming committee. We are of course, seeking nominations for the committee, which can be taken by email to either myself HERE or our Vice President – Meredythe Crane HERE or on the day. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions that you may have.
Finally, with training commencing next week, we are still finalising coaches for particularly our Under 13 and Under 11 age groups. If you or someone you know can help out, we would love to hear from you.
See you all on Sunday.
Andrew Sutton
President
