It doesnt seem that long ago that we finished the season and it doesnt even seem that long ago that we asked you to join up last year. But, it is that time again and I hope that you have all received your renewal notices and I do hope that you are considering being a part of the club in 2008. We worked hard to put this together, to create some further value, to make it look stronger and to have it out as early as possible.
Memberships are coming in already and we have a number of ideas to ensure that our membership is successful. We will have a presence in the new year at McDonalds, Manto Cafe, Ray White Real Estate and Enjoy Cafe on the Parade in the new year. We will be on The Parade regularly and we will be working our schools, metro zone and country zone as hard as possible. Although it appears a few supposed initiatives at West Lakes may hamper some of that!! All this means is that we will have to work even harder for our club!!
If you have any feedback, good or bad, please feel free to contact the club. I do realise the ultimate feedback will be if we can grow our membership and the best value for a member is to have a successful club on and off the field.
In other news I have already made huge inroads into our catering for 2008 and I am hopeful of a much nicer pre and post match option for members also. To be able to address these things in November and not the week of the first game shows that we are doing things much better at the club and I would hope that our first game against Sturt on March 28th is a major event for the club.
Our sponsors continue to show great support and peoples generousity towards the club is at times overwhelming. We are hoping to have all sponsors renewed before the Xmas break and spend the months prior to the season developing growth in our traditional football revenue.
We have almost completed an exhaustive planning process and hope to be able to provide an events schedule and strategic direction for the club very soon.
I have had some queries about the AGM. This meeting will be held on Thursday February 7 at the Osmond Terrace Function Centre. The Annual Report and appropriate notification will be made available in December.
