Bullants – New Committee for 2017/18

Hi everyone. I hope you are enjoying the twilight social comp at the moment.

I would like to introduce myself as the new Bullants Netball Club president. I feel very excited to take up this role and know I am joining a team of passionate netballers.

My first order of business is to express, on behalf of everyone at Bullants Netball, a big thank you to the people who spent time and energy to ensure Bullants was the premier non-school club at SCNA in 2016/17:

• President – Teigan Single/ Karen Duck
• Vice President and Public Officer – Karen Duck
• Treasurer and Registrar- Ruth Mahon
• Secretary – Heather Bond
• Umpire Coordinator – Meaghan Quinn
• Uniform Coordinator – Brittany Cattanach
• Coach Coordinator – Meg Weston
• Committee Members – Annette Brown, Nicola Duck, Emma Mahon

Special thanks needs to go to Ruth, Heather, Meaghan, Brittany and Emma who have put their hands up again for 2017/18. Your committee this year is:

• President – Bernadette Mihaljevic
• Treasurer & Registrar – Ruth Mahon
• Secretary & Public Officer – Heather Bond
• Uniform Coordinator – Emma Mahon
• Umpire Coordinator – Julie Glover
• Coach Coordinator – Heather Bond
• Committee Members – Meaghan Quinn, Brittany Cattanach, Emma Mahon (event coordinator)

But now here comes the plea….….. we did not receive any nominations for the position of Vice President for the 2017/18 committee. The job of the Vice President is to attend (and chair in the absence of the President) the three committee meetings held each year and participate in the discussions/decisions relating to the management and direction of the club. This is not a particularly onerous job, but one that we need to have filled.

As an incorporated association in the ACT we are required to fill ALL executive positions on the committee. If we haven’t got a VP in place by the end of the twilight social comp we will have to begin discussions with the Office of Regulatory Services about the ongoing viability of Bullants Netball Club.  I’m sure none of us wants that, in particular the players from the 4 NSG SET/Junior Go teams, 4 Juniors teams, 5 Inters teams and 5 Seniors teams who played in the 2017 winter comp!  If you think you can spare about 6 hours in a year to attend meetings then please send us an email, your club needs you.
