CONGRATULATIONS to all our various winners at our Junior and Senior Presentation Nights held last month.

As I understand, both presentations were well attended and organised very well.

Thanks to Kerry and Teena for their efforts with Juniors and Heidi and Ken with the Seniors.

I apologize for not being in attendance at the Junior presentation as I was in QLD at the time.

I understand many of our 14’s were not able to attend due to representative commitments. This was unfortunate and shows that we are clearly in need of a volunteer to be our Rep coordinator as part of our Junior committee.

Pete Van Dam was awarded our top players award this year and I mention Pete for a special reason. As we all know Pete is passionate about his footie and wanted to continue to coach our 18’s. At the beginning of the year he made the difficult decision to concentrate solely on first grade and taking on a major leadership role within the club. His efforts were obvious cumulating with the highest player award at our club. Well done Pete.

We are in the process of securing a container to store all our resources at our ground. The committee has decided that rather than ‘farm-out” all our gear to various members we would rent a container as a short term solution to our storage problems at the oval.

I end this report with the word I started with: - CONGRATULATIONS to all our players, coaches, managers, volunteers, members and committee. We have had a relatively good season both on and off the field. We have been successful in many areas and have made mistakes in others. Please remember that we learn from our mistakes and as I said at Senior Presentation “many hands made light work”.

Thanks everyone.

Bill
