Too cold and wet

The Bullants committee are looking for a few volunteers to coordinate two events.
1. BBQ – Bullants will run the SCNA BBQ on Saturday 30 August. We use the profits from the BBQ to fund our end of season Celebration or purchase new equipment. The coordinator will need to generate/maintain a list of volunteers and ensure the BBQ runs smoothly on the day.
2. Summer competition – Summer comp runs over 8 Wednesday evenings from October 15. The summer comp coordinator will collect all Bullants registrations and place players into teams; work with the treasurer to ensure all fees are collected; work with the umpire coordinator to ensure all games are covered. This role is supported by the Bullants committee throughout the season.
Please email us at bullantsnetball@gmail.com to volunteer for either of these roles.

AGM
The Bullants Annual General Meeting will take place on Wednesday 24 September, immediately following our end of season party. Key roles need to be filled to ensure the club can continue and many hands make light work. There are a few of us who have kept the club going and it would be great to have some new volunteers onboard so please consider joining the Bullants team. All positions on the committee will be declared vacant at the AGM. We will say goodbye to our Treasurer Maree who has worked so hard over the last few years, so we will need a treasurer to move forward. If you think you might be able to fill this role now is the time to chat to Maree and she can share her wisdom before she goes. Brittany our umpire coordinator is also vacating her role as she is leaving Canberra next year to start a new adventure.

Uniform
The roll out of the Bullants dress has been a great success and the senior and Inters 1 players look great in them. The enthusiasm of the players has been such that we have had the rest of the Inters players begging to be able to wear the dress also. So we have decided to make the dress available to all inters from next year. The approximate cost is $85. We will make available a system for second hand uniform sales.

Cheers
Ruth

The weather looks as though it is going to be very wintery but hopefully it won’t impact too much on our games this week.
Inters 1/2 are playing a double round this week with games at 12 pm and 1 pm. Arapaho has the bye in the 1 pm time slot.
Seniors Div 1 Mohicans, your game will be at 3:15 pm this week.

This is the last round before the school holiday break and as there are no games next week we are going to cancel training next Wednesday. Training will resume on Wednesday 23 July.

See you at the courts

I have just arrived at the courts and it is blowing a gale, cold and looks like the rain is about to come down so we will cancel tonight. Sorry for the late notice
