We will be taking the players who will be in the age groups of U11 s to U17 s in the 2016 season.

Laurimar Town Park Storage On behalf of club members and the LNC Committee I would like to extend my thanks to Whittlesea Council for the development of the Laurimar Town Park Pavilion. As well as significant facilities for Australian Football and Cricket our club has benefited through a storage space that has allowed us to consolidate all of our club resources into one location. And through the generosity of Neil Pearson, Jason Scott and Adam Wharton shelving has been erected in the storeroom to maximise its useful capacity. Special thanks to Neil, Jason and Adam for giving up their Saturday morning to get this important job done. Ian Landy Asthma Puffers A friendly reminder to parents to bring your Asthma puffers to all games. Training BBQ We will continue to run a BBQ during each Monday night training session until the end of daylight savings. This means you can bring your kids down to training and dinner is sorted! Sausages are just $2 and all funds raised will go to the club. Baby Cino Fundraiser What a fantastic outcome from our Fundraiser at Ferguson Plarre last year. The Laurimar franchise kindly made Laurimar Power Netball Club a recipient of the money raised for providing Babychino s to customers. The store has given the club $640 which will go towards our fundraising goal to support our new training facility at Laurimar Primary. They have also agreed to support the club again this year with this fundraiser, so please get behind Ferguson Plarre in Laurimar. Masters BBQ Fundraiser Many thanks to the parents and players who volunteered their time at our first major fundraiser of the year. We managed to raise $450 which will go toward the court facility improvements at the Laurimar Primary School. Maddison, Rebecca and Montana give a helping hand. Page 5
Junior Committee Report The Junior Committee had its most recent meeting in February. We discussed the need to begin advertising for new members to join as some of our team are no longer Juniors. Kate, Chloe F, Ashlee and Liana will be leaving the committee at the next elections so this will open up opportunities for current and new members to take on new responsibilities. We also had some new ideas including having some music at training. We tried it out last Monday with some positive feedback so we will continue with this on court one as long as it does not distract players and coaches or upset the community. Our next meeting is in April and we have been challenged to bring new ideas. If you have something you want Junior Committee to discuss or put forward talk to Liana, Chloe F, Kate, Ashlee, Jasmine, Chloe B, Bec, Holly, Chelsea or Ashtyn.
