St Patricks Netball Club

To All Club Members and Parents

At the AGM last week, it was extremely disappointing that only 1 person attended out of/on behalf the 117 registered players.

As a consequence, we find ourselves with a limited number of choices, the most serious of which is the disbanding of the club at the end of the season due to lack of committee members.

Unless we get nominations for President and Secretary at bare minimum we cannot continue as a club past this season.

This is extremely sad as we are a club of 13 teams, financially viable and plenty of interest from new player's next season.

In order to save the club, we have organised another meeting on Tuesday 5th April at 7:30pm at Rovira House to firm up committee positions

The following positions are vacant and can be shared. If you can’t attend the next meeting and would like to put your hand up for a position, just drop us an email.

Positions
President
Secretary
Registrations- support for Kim Johnston as she will be on leave for 3 months.
Coaches Coordinator
Outline of the roles are included in this email.

It will be exciting to see netballers back on the courts this weekend. We are very grateful to the committee members who have worked behind the scenes to get the season up and running for our teams. We also thank those parents who have put their hand up to be team managers and we appreciate those that have committed to coaching.

As the season goes forward it is important to let you know that there will be a need for some changes in the committee. Many of our current committee members have been volunteering for the club for 7 to 10 years and no longer have children at St Patricks Primary School. It is time for them to step away from the committee and we thank them for their enormous contributions.

For the ongoing viability of the club, we are in urgent need of new parent volunteers for the committee. The time involved is minimal and a wonderful way to be involved in your child’s community. The committee generally meets monthly or six weekly and the busiest time is at the beginning of each season.

The AGM is scheduled for Wednesday 3rd March, whereby new members will be elected. Please come along to show support.

It will be held at 7.15pm -8.15 pm 9 Preston Road Hughesdale
