How to Register for 2012
Committee’s Welcome
First, a big welcome to all players, parents and supporters to
season 2012 including those that are new to the club. To the
players, we hope that you enjoy your football, build on your skills
and continue to get pleasure from the friendship and camaraderie of
your team mates. We also encourage you to bring down any of your
mates who may want to play football so that they can do the
same.
To parents, we also hope that you
enjoy watching the kids play and ask that you support them in a
positive way at all times. We encourage you to get involved as much
as you can with the club whether it be in an official role, helping
your team or just supporting social functions etc. It’s a great way
to meet new people and make new friends.
Full details for player registration for 2012 are provided in the
attachments below. We look forward to seeing you on registration
day if not before.
Fun Run
To kick off the 2012 season we will
be holding a fun run to coincide with registration day (subject to
council approval). We are running this in collaboration with the
netball club, cricket club senior footy club and 'Run Warrandtye'.
This is an exciting opportunity to profile the Warrandyte
sports precinct, get fit, raise some funds and more importantly
have some fun at the start of the season.
For Warrandyte Junior Football Club Players there will be an
opportunity to enter as a team and prizes will be offered for the
fastest team as well as the fastest individual players over the
various distances.
A special request from the President
I have to say it was most disappointing to have such a very
small number of parents attend our recent annual general meeting
(in fact nobody who is not on the current Committee attended!).
As a result of such a poor attendance, there were no volunteers
come forward to be appointed to the following positions this
year:
- Secretary
- Treasurer
- Grounds Manager (can be shared)
- Football Operations x 2 (or preferably 3)
- Club Liaison and Promotion – (includes Warrandyte Diary and
updating website)
All too often in community
groups, responsibilities fall to the same people year in and year
out. The problem we now face at Warrandyte Junior Football
club is that there are a number of committee members with players
in the upper age groups who will be leaving the club at the end of
this year. It seems sensible to put your hand up to join the
committee while these members are still around so you can “pick
their brains”. At the end of the 2012 season, we will also
need to find a new President, Property Manager and Sponsor
Coordinator. If you are interested in seeing the Club go
forward on a positive note, now would be a good time to put up your
hand while these members are still around.
Please give it some thought. The committee meets once a month
(usually the first Monday) for an hour or so. It is not a
huge commitment for a great gain to your children. I would
hate to see the club fold or run down for lack of parent
involvement.
PLEASE GIVE THIS SOME VERY CAREFUL CONSIDERATION – IT’S NOT AN
ENORMOUS TASK!
If you are interested in discussing
any of these roles or other ways that you might be able to support
the club please give me a ring on 0411 137 179.
Lets make 2012 a big year for the Warrandyte Junior Football Club
and use it as a springboard for our next generation of players and
parents to take over the baton of leadership of this unique and
very special club.
GO BLOODS !!!
