Now, this season we’ll be playing all our matches for both the junior and senior competitions at King’s Park, instead of Royal Park, which was used last season.

Now for meetings, we’re going to use the clubhouse in King’s Park, and the next meeting will be held in the Q₁₁ clubhouse on the 2nd of July.

As usual, we hope to begin the season with a Q₁₂ picnic next Saturday at the clubhouse. Please try and come to the picnic as it’s always good fun. The last week of the season we usually have a dinner and presentation of Q₁₃ prizes to the players, and more information about this will be given to you later in the season.

This season we have more teams than ever. We hope to have Q₁₄ ten teams, instead of five, in the junior competition and they will play on Saturday mornings, beginning at 8.30 a.m.

Training sessions will be held in King’s Park on Q₁₅ Wednesday afternoons for the juniors and they will be wearing red shirts again this year.

In the senior competition, there’ll be Q₁₆ four teams, the same as last year, and their games will be played on Saturday afternoons starting at 2.30, no sorry, it will be a 2 o’clock start, and the training session for seniors is planned for Q₁₇ Sunday afternoons.

Now I’d like to introduce you to the new committee for the Soccer Club for this season. Firstly, let me welcome Robert Young, the new President, who will manage the meetings for the next two years. Robert’s son has been playing football with the club for over five years now, and many thanks to Robert for taking on the job of President.

Next, we have Gina Costello, she’s the treasurer, and she will Q₁₈ collect the fees from you for the season. Please try and give Gina your fees as early as possible in the season, as the club needs the money to buy some new equipment.

Then there’s David West who has volunteered to be the club secretary, and one of the many jobs he will have is to Q₁₉ send out newsletters to you regularly. If you have any information that may be useful, please let David know so that it can be included in these newsletters.

Also I’d like to introduce you to Jason Dokie who is the Head Coach. For all the new members here tonight, this is the third year that Jason has been with us as Head Coach, and we are very lucky to have such an experienced coach and former player at our club. He will continue to Q₂₀ supervise the teams, at training sessions and on match days.

Now before we finish and have some refreshments, does anyone have any questions they’d like to ask the new committee?
