RETURNING YOUR GEAR
All players are required to return their playing bag and jacket to their Coach (or a delegated person) before 31 August 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 2013 for any club until the gear is returned in good condition or satisfactory reimbursement is made to Technical Netball Club. The Coach will be providing us with the list of players who have and who have 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 on Prize Giving day. 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 2013 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.
