This has been a busy month behind the scenes for me and my fellow committee members that have been helping out and allowing me to bounce ideas off them...phew!
First up, thank you to all that responded to the surveys that Pieta sent out for me via FB. It has allowed me to gather vital data to ensure our end of year presentation night will be a great one.
As a ‘Mark the Date’ in the calendar - Saturday September 22nd looks like it will be the best possible date. I am just finalising some negotiations regarding the venue, but will announce this in the near future.
*************
Another date that is coming up that I will need all hands on deck as possible...is
Sunday July 8th
This is going to be a brilliant opportunity for raising vital funds for our association.
We are hosting a Bunnings Sausage Sizzle at Bunnings Northshore. Closer to the date I will be asking you for assistance and to respond with when you can help out. It will not involve a whole day. But if everyone pitches in it should just involve shifts of a few hours at a time.
The funds raised help with subsidising our new training shirts as well as to help reduce the ticket prices for our presentation night.

Now apologies to those that were looking forward to a gathering at the clubhouse on the 16th. There were a few safety concerns that need to be settled locally, and as such my plan is to reconvene this event, but likely at my place after the Bunnings BBQ.
*************
As always, if any of you have suggestions for what you would like us to do on the social front. Please approach me in person, or via the suggestion box that is available at training.
Well that’s about all for now…. See you round the paddock - KO

And remember, we as an umpire group are proudly supported by our association sponsors. Please if you or anyone you know are in need of a product or service that they supply. Keep them in mind and mention that your part of the AFLTUA. That way they know that we are getting their brand out there.
