Summer comp registrations have closed and team letters will be emailed out tonight.   Draws can be accessed on the WEBSITE.  Please note that there may be changes to the draw so make sure you check frequently.

A message from SCNA:
Please note the following:

1. There is a bye in both the junior draws at this point.  the only way to get around this is to bring a div 2 team into the div 1 comp and push one juniors game up to the 6:30 time slot.  We will reassess after round 1 so please check the draws for changes.
2. There is a bye in Inters Div 2 however this may be resolved once we have confirmation on the SCC teams which will happen on Monday/Tuesday so please check the draw closer to Wednesday.

Court refurbishment:
Please be careful moving around the courts.  There are some areas that are out of bounds.

1.  The new asphalt strip on the south side of the courts (behind courts 2,4,6,8)
2.  The new grass area behind courts on the north (courts 1,3,5,7).
3. The SCNA carpark – please park in the King Street carpark
4. The grass courts – some work has begun to re-position the pole casings so please be careful when moving across the grass as there are some uneven places.

Dinner sorted:
The 2016 SCNA NZ tour group will be opening the canteen and running the BBQ so please support theses and other fundraising activities that they will be undertaking during the summer comp.

I am going to start the process of team allocation for summer comp in the next few days.  If you want to play please make sure you register asap by visiting http://bullants.act.netball.com.au/Summer-Competition.aspx?rw=c

If you can’t remember your MyNetball account details please let me know and I can resend them for you.

Family BBQ
A big thanks to everyone who came down to the courts on Wednesday night for our family BBQ.  We had a great night!

AGM wrap up
Please welcome your Bullants committee members:

Registration information and forms on our Summer Comp page

There are two registration forms: one for NSG and one for JUNIORS, INTERS & SENIORS.

Please register early so we can ensure you are placed on a team.

As we roll out the summer competition information, it is time to introduce you to our new website which we will use for the business end of our operations.  Over the years so many parents have asked for online registration and payments.  We trialed the online registration form in the winter comp and it was a great success however we still had to rely on you to make payments via direct debit and it resulted in a lot of chasing on our part (time consuming for our volunteers).  Now we have finally managed to pull it all together.  We will still keep our WordPress site as it is by far the best way for us to communicate with you (if you click the FOLLOW BUTTON at the bottom of the page).  All other information will be migrated to the new site over the next few weeks.  You will recognise the new site…it looks a lot like the SCNA website.

Summer Comp info can be found HERE.
NSG registration should be up in a few days so hang tight!

Well done to all of our teams who competed in the Winter comp this year.  10 of our 15 competitive teams made finals this year.  We wish you all the best and know that you will represent Bullants and the spirit in which we play to your best ability.

Our end of season BBQ is scheduled for NEXT WEDNESDAY.  Please make sure you have RSVP’d so that we have enough food to feed everyone.

A BIG thank you to those families who helped on the BBQ and canteen last week. We appreciate your commitment to the club.

Volunteers awards – For the second year running one of our own took out the Junior Volunteer of the Year – Congratulations Jade; it is great that we have such community minded juniors in our club.

Training will be on this evening for the 10 of our 15 competition teams through to finals…great job everyone.
