Bullants Netball Club Inc.

Hi all Bullants families.

Due to the extreme weather forecast for tomorrow SCNA has cancelled the last round of twilight netball. Although regrettable it is better to ensure the safety and health of all players.

We ask that managers come to the courts to return the kit bags. Someone from the committee will be there from 6 until 6.30 to collect the bags. Please contact us at bullantsnetball@gmail.com if that time is not convenient so that an alternative time to return the bag can be arranged.

We will communicate with you early in 2020 to let you know about winter netball. In the meantime we hope you have a happy and safe summer break.

Your Bullants Committee

This post is to provide an update following the AGM held this evening.

The 2019 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 and Equipment Coordinator:  Belinda James
• Umpire Coordinator:  Julie Glover
• Coach Coordinator: Heather Bond
• Manager Coordinator: Rachel Davidson
• General Committee Members: Perdi Mitchell, Rachel Davidson and Michelle Evans

The club is in good health, with the number of teams holding steady, strong results in the winter league, our finances strong, and high community engagement through the committee, coaches, umpires, managers and the entire Bullants family.

The committee are always thinking about opportunities to make the next seasons even better. So if you have thoughts or suggestions please email them (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). If you would like to find out more, please email us at bullantnetball@gmail.com, ask a committee member, or come to our next committee meeting on 15 December, 6.30pm at the SCNA courts.

Meghan Quinn, President

The second game of twilight netball is tomorrow night. There will be quite a few cars at the venue due to events happening on surrounding ovals, so please take that into account.

For the 5pm time slot SCNA has changed the draw – so please check the website for the right court just before the game.

A reminder of the times:

• NSG Net, Set and Juniors Go – 5pm
• Juniors 5.40pm
• Inters and Mixed 6.20pm
• Seniors and Mixed 7pm
• Seniors 7.40pm

Have fun.

Bullants Committee

Dear Bullants Community,

We are having our AGM this Sunday, 6.30pm at the SCNA club house.

The Bullants netball club is run by volunteers.

The more help we have the better we can run the club and the easier it is to provide a wonderful netball experience for all our players, coaches, umpires, managers and supporters.

You do not need to have netball experience to contribute. There are lots of jobs that can be done by anyone.

We would welcome feedback on what has worked well, not so well, and how we can improve for the year ahead.

Please join us on Sundays if you can – all are welcome.

Bullants Committee

We hope everyone is very excited about the beginning of the Twilight netball competition this evening.  A couple of reminders:

1. Committee members will be available to assist you at the table under our banner near the grass courts. If you’re unsure where to go, please come and ask. Managers, that’s where you can collect your kit bags.

2. Team composition has not taken into account your preferred playing positions. We encourage you to be flexible about which position you play. You never know, you may find a position that suits your skills better than you thought!

3. This is a social competition. It’s meant to be fun, so don’t take it too seriously.

The court layout can be a bit confusing to players new to the association, so here is a map to help you. Again, if you’re not sure where to go just come and ask.

We hope you have a great season.

Bullants Committee

Quick reminder that we are at the Deakin netball courts until 3pm today if you want to try on and/or purchase uniform today.

Hi Bullants families,

The beginning of the Twilight Netball season is nearly upon us. Thanks for your patience as we sorted out team lists and game times, and a special thank you to those people who have volunteered to manage our teams.

DRAWS

SCNA is making progress on the draws for the twilight season with the NSG 1 & 2, Juniors Go, 1 & 2 and Inters 1 draws already available. We expect draws for the remaining divisions will be available very soon. Keep an eye on the “events” section of our website where we will list the first round draw for all Bullants teams once available.

UNIFORM

We will run a uniform try-on and collection session this Saturday from 2pm to 3pm. If you have purchased uniform on line, or are hoping to purchase uniform, please come to the courts then. We are unlikely to be able to provide uniform on Monday as there is always a bit of chaos the first week of a competition. Remember, it is not a requirement that players wear the Bullants dress. If you don’t have one just wear a white top and black bottom (unless as a team you have agreed to wear a different outfit).

UMPIRING

If you are interested in umpiring during the twilight competition and haven’t signed up yet, please email us at bullantsnetball@gmail.com.

Members of the Bullants committee will be around the courts on Monday. We will also set up a table under our banner near the grass courts, so look for us there if you need any assistance.

See you Monday!!

Hello Bullants families,

The draws for the twilight comp are still being completed and until that is done we have been asked by SCNA to remain flexible about the times games will be played. However, it is looking like the advice we received yesterday about times is the most likely outcome. So we expect that the teams will be playing as follows:

5.00pm:
NSG Set 1 – Team Chinook
NSG Set 2 – Team Chickasaw and Team Potawatomie
JuniorsGo – Team Navajo and Team Sioux

5.40pm:
Juniors – Team Apache, Team Cherokee, Team Cheyenne and Team Mohawks

6.20pm:
Inters – Team Braves, Team Dakota and Team Kiowa
Mixed – Team Nike (may also play at 7.00pm)

7.00pm & 7.40pm:
Seniors – Team Chiefs, Team Cree and Team Shawnee

Managers have now being allocated to teams. You should hear from your manager, if you have one, within the next couple of days about arrangements for your team next Monday. The only team we are still seeking a manager for is the NSG 2 team Chickasaw.  If there are any players, parents, carers, siblings or friends who would be interested in looking after this team please contact us at bullantsnetball@gmail.com.

It’s proving to be a bit of a stop and start process for getting ready for Twilight netball next Monday, but we’re sure everything will be fine once we get on court!

Your Bullants team

This was placed on the SCNA website last night, confirming the times for games this season. It appears that the mixed competition will be played over two different time slots. I hope this helps some of our younger players who will have slightly more time to get to the courts than what we thought yesterday.

Wowsers! I have had to add extra time slots in to the Twilight Social Comp to cater for the large number of team nominations. Games will be 8 minute quarters and it will be a quick (4 min) turn around between games. I hope to have everything confirmed and draws up on the website by Thursday.

Draws for NSG Set are already available, with the others to follow. Please let us know if you are not able to play/manage/umpire at these times. For those who emailed yesterday, you will be contacted separately.
