Message from the President 09/01/12
"As I near the end of my second year in term, I would like to invite all members to attend this years Annual General Meeting which will be held on Sunday 26th February. It is becoming increasingly difficult to elect a full Council of Management and a number of existing office bearers and committee members have advised that their intentions are to stand down. A lot of hard work goes on behind the scenes to ensure the club operates successfully and for this to continue, it is imperative that all vacant positions are filled for the coming season. I would encourage members willing to be considered for next season's Council of Management to attend the AGM or for further details on the positions available or what's involved, please contact myself or any of the current committee members".
