End of Season and Prizegiving

The season is drawing to a close and we trust you have all had an enjoyable time, playing, coaching, umpiring or supporting. The last round of normal competition games will be Sat Aug 24. After that, the following dates apply for finals games:

Prizegiving

This year we are shaking things up a bit, with junior and senior prizegiving not only being held at different times, but also on separate days and at separate locations. This is to ensure we are properly catering to the differing needs between the age groups and effectively celebrating all their successes in an appropriate way.

Junior Prizegiving

When:    Sunday 15 September, 2:30pm
Where:    Avonhead School Hall
There will be activities for the teams, awards handed out, other netballing achievements recognised, and food and drinks supplied as well.

Senior Prizegiving

When:    Tuesday 17 September, 6:30pm
Where:    Winnie Bagoes Ferrymead
This year the senior prizegiving will be held over a meal of salads, breads, wedges and gourmet pizzas at the extremely popular Winnie Bagoes Ferrymead. Tickets for the event are $25 and are to be purchased through your coach/manager until August 24

Please remember to keep an idea on our website - www.technicalnetball.co.nz - for further updates and information on this years' prizegiving.

Returning Gear

All players are required to return their playing bag and jacket to their Coach (or a delegated person) before 14 September in good condition. Ensure you have cleaned your jacket and bag. Any player not returning their gear will be considered nonfinancial and will be ineligible to play netball in 2014 for any club until the gear is returned in good condition or satisfactory reimbursement is made to Technical Netball Club. The Coach will confirm who has not returned their gear.  You will be charged the current replacement cost of $37 for backpacks and $62 for jackets.

Coaches should return the team jackets/backpacks and the team gear bag at Junior Prizegiving (Sunday 15 September from 2pm). Senior players - please do not bring your gear to senior prizegiving, instead ensure you have handed it to your coach before 14 September. You also need to give us the list of names and issued gear, marked with who has returned the gear. Check the numbers found on the backpacks and jackets do match those on the list previously supplied to you. Ensure you have cleaned the bibs, gear and bag. Contact Raewyn Pope kandrpope@xtra.co.nz if you need to return it at another time.

AGM

This will be held in March 2014 and we will be on the lookout for some more people to join us. Generally we meet once a month from January to September. We enjoy superb suppers, the usual discussions and make decisions that affect what happens to your daughter and her netball team. We would love to hear from any of you interested in joining us for next season, particularly from parents of the junior grades.

We welcome your feedback on how things have gone and any suggestions for improvements next year. Either drop an email to us at info@technicalnetball.co.nz, or drop a line to our PO Box 29 590, or bend the ear of a committee member at the Prize Giving

Looking forward to seeing you all at prizegiving!
