President's Welcome
December 2011
Hi all, just a quick note to bring you up to date; plans for the new club house & second turf are nearly complete, and hopefully we will have a meeting with Council mid January. Our plans have been well accepted in theory by Council, so fingers crossed.
As to the AHG womens, we had a hockey council meeting on Sunday for our proposal & once again had acceptance in theory, with indications from council that there will be an extra team added in 2013, (being too late for 2012). A decision will be made in March, with our club submitting a motion. We are quietly confident. Therefore we MUST be at the top of Willow Bridge at the end of 2012 to be able to take up that position. Nic Ogden & Steve Silvey are aggressively working on that over summer.
Thank you to all who have been working hard voluntarily over summer. My committee, Nic Ogden, Steve Silvey, Louise Dixon, Janine Tate before Xmas, with the rest of the committee coming into play after Xmas to set up for the new season. Just a note that there is a lot of work done over summer to prepare- I hope you all appreciate their efforts & time.
On to the plans for the new development; I would like to thank Pat Hall & his committee for the running of the turf & new turf plans, Summer Sevens & and to Taffy for taking control. With regards to Club house plans; thanks go to Tom Rushton, Aki Antti Etelaaho, for design & engineering, Graeme Coleman for design & modelling, all of whom have donated their time & expertise; - we are a very lucky to people like this.
In finishing i would like to wish everyone a MERRY XMAS & A HAPPY NEW YEAR have a safe summer break & I look forward to seeing you all for the new season. I think exciting new developments are ahead of us.
