MOTUROA AFC NEWS

Your New Committee

The new Moturoa AFC Committee for 2010 has been selected and the club is pleased to announce the following appointments :

• President—Stephen Frowde
• Secretary—Kat Perrett
• Treasurer—Tiff Kawana-Waugh
• Club Captain—Scotty Manson

This Committee executive will be well supported by the general Committee members of

• Tony Nicholas,
• Don Harris,
• Ang Caldwell,
• Vanessa Webber,
• John Hudson and
• Mark Stewart.

The work of the Committee is a very important part of the clubs success and these volunteers are looking forward to working with the wider club in order to build on a very successful 2009 season.

Fees

This year senior fees will be set a little differently as central football are charging us per player instead of per team JUNIOR FEES ARE STILL BEING NEGOTIATED SO UNFORTUNATELY WE CAN NOT YET GIVE YOU A FIGURE.

Senior Fees have been set at $200.00 for the season.
$100.00 of this fee MUST be paid before the start of the season or a direct debit form signed, failure to pay as required will result in players not being eligible to take the field. The remaining $100.00 is required no later than June 15, 2010 Failure to pay will result in suspension of playing rights until the outstanding amount is settled or a direct debit form signed. All historic monies owed to the club for previous seasons subs, misconducts and the like, must also be settled before the start of the season.

The committee can help you obtain this information if you are unsure what you owe. All money owed to Moturoa AFC at the close of the 2010 season will be passed on to a collection agency with any additional fees they require also being the legal responsibility of the player.

The Moturoa club is looking to increase its cash flow this season via some active fund raising ventures. The first of these events will be a Club based Garage Sale on March the 20th. Any donations of unwanted items would be hugely appreciated and can be dropped of at the club each Saturday between 1pm and 3pm between now and the 20th March. The club is also looking for its players and members to be more involved in helping to raise funds. This will be via raffles, sponsored goal days and also the staging of club quiz nights and ALL WHITE World CUP Evenings, amongst other exciting ideas and events. Fundraising is an important way for the club to generate cash flow in order to provide the club with equipment, opportunities, development and a safe and happy environment . We urge all club members to become involved in these ventures and take pride in our club.

Future newsletters will update you on events. We look forward to your support on this matter.
