Newsletter 16 April 2013
Welcome to the 2013 netball season. Just a few things to get you underway and ready to start playing, for most of you this is Saturday 11 May. Our A, B and C teams start earlier.
CLUB DAY Where: Avonhead School, Avonhead Rd, Avonhead
Date: Sunday 21 April
Time: 9.30am Annual General Meeting - everyone is welcome
10.00am until noon for uniforms, jackets and backpacks
Coaches need to attend to pick up their training bags.
Club Day This is when you come to buy uniforms and pick up your Club jacket and backpack. If you are new to the Club you may not be aware that we require players to buy their playing uniform (Technical shirt and skirt), although we do issue jackets and backpacks, which need to be returned at the end of the season. The cost of a complete uniform is $80, although you can buy separately the shirt for $48 and the skirt for $32.
If you are unable to attend to pick up your jacket and backpack, then please make arrangements for someone else to pick up on your behalf, otherwise you may miss out on getting this gear. You will still be responsible for returning the gear at the end of the season.
You may also pay subscriptions (cash or cheque only), although you are strongly encouraged to pay these electronically to Westpac 03 1591 0105537 00, and using player name as reference. Thank you to those who have done so already.

Entertainment Books for sale
We have an opportunity to raise funds by selling Entertainment Books. The Club receives $13 for every book sold. The current version covers Christchurch, Canterbury and Nelson.
The link to the Technical Netball payment page is: www.entertainmentbook.co.nz/orderbooks/13485g7 which is where you can order and pay online using credit card details. The books cost $65 and we will deliver them to you on a Saturday at Hagley. Alternatively you could put a cheque in the mail to our PO Box 29590, made payable to Technical Netball Club. Ensure you include the name of the Technical netball player you know, so that we can get the book to you. They will be available from mid May, for use as from 1 June 2013.
Umpiring requirements of teams
ALL players in the A to N teams (Prem, Senior 2, 2nd Grade, 3rd Grade, Under 19 and Under 17) must sit the NNZ on line Centre Theory exam. When you have completed the test on line, you must print out their certificate and hand to the coach. If you don't hand in the certificate, then you are deemed to be unregistered and should not play. A team playing an unregistered player can have competition points deducted.
You can now follow us on Facebook. Search for 'Technical Netball Club' and ask to join the group.
As always, please check out the website for the most up to date information.
