Club Update #2008, August 2020
Executive Meeting (8th Aug.) has filled several vacancies:
- Field Captain: Michael Wilson
- Webmaster: Phillip Evans
Thanks from all of us, to these members, for stepping up.
Two important vacancies are NOT YET filled:
- Secretary
- Coaching Coordinator
Without people filling these vacancies it cannot be expected that our Club will function properly.
For example, we cannot organize the re-commencement of Come & Try Sessions and Beginner Courses without a Coaching Coordinator.
Only the Secretary is an Executive position, and people taking any position can rely on help of other club officers, as they settle in.
Please discuss, offer, or dob someone in, with any Executive member.
Next Club Members’ General Meeting
Our next meeting is on Saturday 10th October, starting at 10am. Please add this to your Club Calendars.
Sad but SERIOUS!
Boadheads have been again used recently in our Field.
Cost of damage to one target is over $200, plus our volunteers hours!
- Any members using broadheads will face strong disciplinary action.
- If trespassers are noticed on our range do not approach them but notify Wollongong Police 4226 7899. If it is safe to do so, note description of any people or vehicle, & registration number; and report to Executive.
- Surveilance cameras are randomly operating in the Field Course, and people shooting broadheads will be caught sooner or later.
Aussie Helpers
"Aussie Helpers" is a charity we helped last year out of the profits of the South Coast Field. They have sent us a magazine, which is available in the clubhouse, showing their drought relief stories for Aussie farmers.
