AGM Update

Thank-you to all those who came to our end of season party. This year we celebrated the fun and success of our 19 teams in the 2018 winter season. That is quite a few players, coaches, umpires, managers, scorers and supporters to pull together week in week out.

A special thank-you to the tireless volunteers who put their time and energy into the smooth running of our club and who made the season such a success.

The full list of 2018 player awards can be found below. (If you were unable to collect your award email bullantsnetball@gmail.com)

And, importantly we marked the changing of the guard. Ruth Mahon, the backbone of the club over many years, is passing the netball to a new group of volunteers (yes it takes a group to replace Ruth) to take the club forward into the Twilight competition and beyond. We wish Ruth all the best for the future and thank her for her many years of dedication to our club, our players and our association. Her cheerfulness, kindness and wisdom have set the benchmark for us all to aspire to.

At the AGM we had a reshuffle of the committee to fill the Ruth shaped gap. This sees Bernadette Mihaljevic take on the crucial task of Treasurer and Registrar. Thank-you Bernadette for your excellent guidance as President during 2017-18 and for taking on this important task for the new season. Other positions were re-confirmed and Belinda James joined as a general committee member.

In summary, the 2018 AGM elected the following Bullants Executive Committee:

• President:  Meghan Quinn
• Vice-President:  Tanya Parkin
• Treasurer and Registrar:  Bernadette Mihaljevic
• Secretary and Public Officer: Heather Bond
• Uniform Coordinator:  Emma Mahon
• Umpire Coordinator:  Julie Glover
• Coach Coordinator: Heather Bond
• Committee Member: Belinda James

The club is in good financial health and we are thinking about opportunities to make the next seasons even better. So if you have thoughts or suggestions please email them in for consideration (bullantsnetball@gmail.com).

As with all volunteer clubs many hands make light work. All help is welcome. You do not need to have particular expertise and being a volunteer looks great on a CV (hint hint for those students out there). If you would like to find out more, please email us at bullantnetball@gmail.com, or ask one of the committee members at the courts.

Lastly, the Twilight competition gets under way on 17 October, with registrations closing tomorrow.

Meghan Quinn, President
