Be Part of Our Club’s Future – Join Us at This Year’s AGM!
This year’s AGM is shaping up to be one of the most important in our Club’s history, as we set out on a new path toward growth, improvement, and a stronger future for everyone involved.
Right now, there’s a real opportunity for all of us to step up and make a difference. Our Club thrives when we all pitch in — and it’s time to shift away from the old assumption that “someone else will do it.” A recent example: after our Junior Presentation Night, Sue, Mark, and Sean were left to manage the clean-up alone. We know we can do better, and together, we will.
We’re working hard to create a Club culture where everyone feels ownership and pride in what we’re building. To make it easier to get involved, we’ll be rolling out simple job descriptions to help share the load and keep things running smoothly.
Exciting changes are also coming to Membership! Going forward, Membership will be open to anyone who wants to be part of our great Club – not just players – and will operate more like a small annual subscription (similar to an AFL Membership), with separate playing fees for those who take the field.
Junior Members aged 15 and over will have voting rights, and for those under 15, a parent will hold the vote on their behalf — so it’s never been more important for families to have their say.
On top of that, we’re making real progress on securing a new Club Coach, and we’re in early discussions about a possible merger with another local Club. Both of these opportunities could bring fresh energy, more pathways for players, and a stronger future for all of us — but we need your voices and support as we move forward.
This is your Club. This is your moment to help shape it. Save the date, bring your energy, and let’s build something special together!
