Bullants Netball Club Inc.

Saturday 30 August is the last round of the season proper. We will say goodbye to some of our teams after this week…well done on a great season, we hope you had fun and learnt some new skills.
The first of three finals weeks begins on Saturday 6 September.

It is a very busy day at the courts on Saturday:
NSG ‘Set’ – Presentations will begin after the NSG games have finished. As Shinook have the bye this week, please arrive at the courts by 9:30am in Bullants uniform. Presentations begins at 9:45 am on Court 2.

Young Volunteer – Emma Mahon
Young Umpire – Zoe Caton
Young Coach – Bec Cattanach
Senior Volunteer – Gavan Cattanach, Ian Male, Heather Bond and Brittany Cattanach.

Bullants BBQ duty – Thanks to all those who have put their hand up to flip a snag and to Gavan who is coordinating the team effort.

Canteen Duty – Arapaho have a canteen duty this week.

Other news
Details of the Summer competitions registration will be released next week. I haven’t had any volunteers to coordinate summer comp so I am asking parents to work together and step up and put together a team rather than just registering their child as as individual. This will mean having a conversation with other players and their families to see who wants to play. Forms will be available on the website by the end of next week.

End of season party – I hope you all received an email regarding the end of season party on Wednesday 24 Sept. If you didn’t receive an email (I did have a few bounces) or still need to RSVP, send me an email at bullantsnetball@gmail.com and I will send you all the details.

See you at the courts

Netball returns to SCNA this weekend. NSG Shinook will play their last game of the season. Inters 1/2 will be playing games at both 12pm and 1 pm. Chiefs have the bye.

Team photos – I will catch up tomorrow with those teams who haven’t had their team photo yet. Please be at the courts 35 minutes before the game in Bullants uniform.

Uniforms – can everyone please check your bullants hoodies to make sure you have your own. Zoe and Meghan are missing theirs ( their name is on the inside).

Skills clinic – if you signed up for the SCNA skills clinic, it has now been cancelled following two postponements due to the weather. You can get a refund from the office on Saturday.

BBQ – we haven’t had a very good response to our call for volunteers to work the BBQ next weekend. We have no one in the set up or 9:30 time slot and only a few in each of the other times. Thank you to the families who have already stepped up but we need some more. Sign up here BBQ sign up

End of season party – don’t forget to put Wednesday 24 September on your calendar. Bring the family, share a sausage and some cake and celebrate the success of the season.

See you at the courts

The regular season gets a bit disjointed here as we stop for Junior Rep Championships. So here is a summary to make sure everyone is one the same page.

Training – Training will continue even though there are no games. It is important to maintain the momentum as we lead up to finals. Make sure your child is in layers (a beanie is good too) as it is cold at the courts.

Sat 9 August – No Netball at SCNA. Junior Rep U13-U15 Championships at Lyneham. Good Luck to our girls playing, I am sure they would love your support if you can spend some time to visit the Lyneham Netball Centre.

Saturday 16 August – No Netball at SCNA for all divisions EXCEPT Inters Div 1/2 who will make up their games that were washed out in June. Games start at 11am so please be at the courts by 10:30 am at the latest. I would also like to take Comanche and Arapaho team photos at this time.

Junior Rep U11-U12 Championships at Lyneham. Good luck to the Bullants girls playing and feel free to pop over and cheer for them.

Saturday 23 August – All games resume. Team photos for all teams yet to have them. Please be at the courts 35 minutes before the start of your game. I will take photos in the carpark at the back of the pavilion.

Inters Div 1/2 will be playing 2 games over 2 time slots (12 pm and 1pm).

Saturday – 30 August – Last round of the season proper

Bullants will be running the BBQ at SCNA on Saturday 30 August. Gavan Cattanach has volunteered to coordinate the day but he needs helpers. Thank you to those regulars who have already signed on to help, we value your commitment to the club. You too can help out by filling out the FORM

Presentations for NSG, Junior umpires and SCNA volunteers of the year.

After 30 August, training will continue only for those teams in the finals rounds. Finals begin on Saturday 6 September.

Wednesday 24 September – BULLANTS FAMILY PARTY

Mark it in your diaries, more details coming soon!

At the conclusion of the party we will hold our Annual General Meeting. Bullants needs volunteers to continue to be able to provide netball at the club level. At the AGM all positions are declared vacant so here is your chance to jump on in. Several committee members are stepping down after many years of service and their roles need to be filled. At a minimum the club is legally required to have the roles of President, Treasurer and Secretary filled. Feel free to email us for more details.

Another chilly morning is expected tomorrow morning so rug up. I will be taking photos for the junior teams in the morning so please make sure you are at the courts 30 minutes before the game in full uniform. We will meet in the carpark near the pavilion.
Chickasaw has the bye this week and Braves are playing in the 3:15 time slot.

I still have a few tickets left for the Darters game tomorrow night. Let me know if you are interested in joining the cheer squad.

I still have a few free tickets left for the Darters Game on Saturday night, 7:30 at the AIS. Players need to be accompanied by an adult. If you would like to join the Bullants contingent cheering the Darters on send me an email at bullantsnetball@gmail.com
Cheers
