"Red and White Ramblings"
This is the first of what will be regular reports from the Skipton Football Netball Club in which we hope to keep the members and supporters up to date with what is happening around the Club.
After serving as President for eight of the last ten years, Graham Layley has decided to take a well earned rest. Graham and his wife Judy have both given great service and the Club is very appreciative of their efforts.
John Peeters has stepped into the position of President along with Andrew Bodman as the Senior Vice-President and Adrian Williams as Junior Vice-President. David Poulton is the new Secretary and Ian Robertson continues as Treasurer.
Other Committee members are: Frank Court (Assistant Secretary), Katherine Gillespie (Netball), Harry Kennedy (Membership and Special Effort), Tony Slater (Junior Football and Trevor Thornton (Football Operations). The positions of Social Committee Chairperson and Fundraising Chairperson remain vacant.
If you are interested in either position please contact the Club.
The players have been training for a number of weeks under Coach Wayne Grace and Assistant Coach Scott Paulke and Tim McKay who joins us from the S.M.W. Rovers. Wayne Magee has been reappointed as our Reserves Coach and Dean Sheridan as our Junior Coach.
Our first practice match is against Tatyoon on Saturday 31st March and then we play Waubra at Sebastopol on Saturday the 7th April.
The first game of the Season is against the new team in the competition, Ararat Eagles, at home, on Saturday the 21st April.
In our next report we will give you details about our new recruits and a number of other important things happening around your Club.
