Courses:

Stop press: we have been sent notification that we have received funding to the value of $1400 from the dept of sport and rec to assist in the participation in the courses.

Secondly, if we cannot get more assistance in these areas then we will have to schedule training for specific age groups, for example, 6 – 8 in week 1, 9 – 11 week 2 etc, which will ultimately lead to the children only training once a month.

The coaching courses were cancelled due to lack of numbers. We have been advised that we can do these courses via correspondence, please

See lisa, bronwyn or carol for information.

Thankyou to those people who have shown interest in the course. The

Knowledge gained from these courses will benefit immensley and ensure the longevity of our centre. We need more coaching assistance from parents for a centre of our size.

PLEASE TRY AND ARRIVE AT THE STADIUM EARLY AS MORE HANDS MAKE LIGHT WORK.

Intercentre Shield

Round 2 will be held in Katherine on the weekend of the 31^st May 2003 from 1 – 6pm.

The Interclub in Katherine is a great day trip or weekend away. The community of Katherine looks forward to us coming and the experience strengthens Club/Centre relationships. It is a great opportunity for our centre to gain competition points towards the Interclub Trophy as well.

A bus will be available at a cost of $25.00 per head, please let the help desk know if you are interested so we can book if necessary.

NORTH QUEENSLAND:

We require a volunteer to be the "Fundraising Convenor" for our Nth Qld Athletes. The person will be responsible to help raise funds for the trip this year. The funds raised will go towards Air flights to Qld, we have estimated that each athlete will need approx $1200 each. We have already received from ANGLOGOLD (a major sponsor of athletes) a donation of $1875. This will be a great kick start for our team to compete, however the parents of children 12 and up will be required to fundraise the rest.
