Fundraising - we need your help!

Hi Team
 
We need your help. Fundraising is a key aspect of our club.  As we become bigger we need more funds and people to assist.  We cannot continue to rely on the same people all the time to do so much.
 
I am organising a fundraising committee and have planned a meeting on Monday 22/7/13 at the Coburg Basketball Stadium office @ 6 pm.
 
I would like to invite parents and friends of our club to come along.  I am certain that we have a lot of talented people with time to assist and some wonderful ideas waiting to be asked. These people may not be interested in team management but could help in this area.  It is ideal if Liz and I could also step back and assist rather than manage the committee.  Perhaps some of you might be able to do this or assist with ideas, help organise a fundraising activity
 
Remember this date and lets try and fill that that room!

Have a enjoyable weekend
 
Regards
Wilton

Team Update Lightning & Colts - plus a thanks to all helpers!

Hi Team
 
Firstly a big thank you to all who did a double shift at the basketball and the sausage sizzle.
Not sure who or how much but to each of you thank you.  Another exceptional effort by some exceptional people.

This, off course does not exclude those who were at the basketball helping due to the absence of the sausage sizzle volunteers and our regular hard working coaches and team managers.
I collected all the team sheets and will get a copy to you.
 
Please remember that any player who did not sign will need to complete the back of the scoresheet on the first game they play as a new player with full details.
 
Our under 10 boys have grown beyond one team and I have more boys thinking about joining.  I have needed to enter a second team 'Newlands Colts'.  I am hoping to arrange for their first game to be on returning from holidays. I am looking for a coach and team manager for this team.  If you know of possible coaches please see me. Training will be at 4pm on Mondays at the stadium.  The under 10 boys will stay as they are until the 13th of July.  That is no change until the 13th.
 
The 2 teams will be:
 
Lightning
Duncan
Aidan
Gabe
Harper
Rohan
Hamish
2 more players needed
 
Colts
Khalid
Sean
Nicholas
Xavier
Oscar
Available new players
 
With 6 and 5 in the 2 teams and heading into Winter we will need to get more players so please keep an eye out for more.
 
Regards
Wilton

Game Venues - Team Sheets

Hi Everyone,

Please note the following:
1. Coburg Senior High (ALVA GVE ,Coburg) is now being used as a 6th court.  This has been used in the past and only new players will not be familiar with its location.  Please make sure to ask your team manager or coach if you don't know the way.  It will be used more as the competition continues to expand..
2. Team Managers: The team sheets must be in to me no later than next Monday.  We will be receiving a fine if there are not in on the following Saturday and I need to have them prior to make sure that are club records are also up to date.  This stops errors in the future with players ages, addresses and singlet numbers.
3. We need players for under 12 boys, under 14 girls and under 8s.  These teams are short of players although under 8s will have enough for this week, I'm looking at making another team.

If you need assistance with any of the above please contact me and I will do my best to assist.

Regards

Wilton
