E NEWS - 21 JULY 2016
It's that time of year again! Your committee is busy with a zillion
little "background" jobs that all contribute to the smooth
running of our events & activities for the upcoming season.
These include: our draft calendar is now sorted for 2016 | 2017 and
will be up on the website shortly; our trailer plans are going full
steam ahead and thanks to Joe Librio's designing skills we will have a
place for everything within the trailer; quotes for trailer build are being
obtained; our treasurer Lisa
Payne has finalised our financial accounts & sent them
off to the auditor - we came in very, very close to budget; our Public
Liability Insurance has been renewed; we have renewed our Sports Voucher
Provider status; and a new club gear order is almost ready to roll.
We would like to issue a big welcome to all our new & renewing
members it's great to see you on our current list.
Members from last season who are yet to manually renew will drop off our
system shortly. We would hate to see you go, so jump in here and
add your current credit card details to finalise your renewal.
