HELENSVALE NETBALL CLUB CELEBRATING 25 YEARS!!!!!!!!! [Edition 1, Volume 1] PRESIDENTS REPORT Welcome to our first edition since our AGM in November. As you can see on the right hand column there have been a few changes to our Committee for the 2015 season. We would like to welcome Chris Van, Kylie Daley and Danielle Chapman to our Committee. The Committee would also like to say a very big Thank you to our retiring members, Wendy Brown, Lucy Littlely, Sheree Jenkins and Joanne Drummond, who have all served many years on the Committee and are surely going to be missed. We are still looking for an umpire/coaching coordinator or an events coordinator if any members are keen to join our 2015 committee. Our first agenda items for our new Committee is to look for new sponsorship packages, the annual Nova coaching clinic & to start to organize our big plans to celebrate 25 years of Helensvale Netball Club. We have also held our first Early Bird sign on and were amazed at the number of existing but also new members who took advantage of this offer. The fees for next year have been set at $220 per player. The increase is due to an increase in Netball QLD and NGCNA fees and we have also decided to include the photo money in the fees this year. Reason for this change is that every player takes the photo option but can be a bit of a nightmare for the team managers to chase money etc. This way the club will cover the cost of the photos and pay the photographer direct. Our next sign on will be Saturday 31 st January 2015 however you can send in your forms anytime between now and then. We look forward to seeing all our current members return and welcome our new members for another great year ahead at Helensvale Netball Club. Yours in Netball Erin Hodgkin President 2015 COMMITTEE PRESIDENT Erin Hodgkin VICE PRESIDENT Chris Van SECRETARY Kristie Bennett TREASURER Kylie Daley REGISTRAR Shanna Phelan UNIFORM/EQUIP Amanda Jones UMPIRE Vacant EVENTS Vacant GENERAL Charity McPhillips Danielle Chapman
