New Committee Takes Aim At 2019

Our 2019 committee was elected at the club's AGM on October 29th. After six years on the club's executive, Andrew Ferguson will be the club's new President in 2019. Cooper Ferries (Football Operations) joins the executive for the first time, as outgoing President John Burke (Community Relations) makes a move to the club's General Committee. Bridie Halliwell (Fundraising) and Emma Thomas (Culture) join our committee for the first time, while Tegan Baxter (Social) makes a return to the fold. The new committee have three key areas of focus over the next 12 months. 1. Membership and Participation - Retention of current players - Putting more support around our football coaching structure - Less reliance on fill-ins for both football and netball - Recruitment of Senior footballers to help drive culture and standards - Keep older and retiring players involved in an off-field and/or part-time playing roles - Increasing social membership levels 2. Club Culture and Identity - Specific sub-committee in charge of playing group culture - Get all members attending games in club colours - Netball teams to train locally and then getting back to the club for Thursday night meals - Increase function numbers year on year 3. Increasing Revenue - Sponsorship (New members on board to help, dedicated Netball sponsorship co-ordinator for the first time) - Fundraising (Dedicated sub-committee is now in place) - Thursday Nights (Meals prepared in house and increased attendances) - Canteen and Functions Revenue to improve year on year
