Trial offer from Old Boys, rego update

Hi all
The Old Boys and St Elias (masters 1 teams) are seeking a trial with one or both teams or a combination, on Feb 20. This might be a chance for those who miss this weekend's game at Unanderra to have a run or for those who are keen to have another go. I'll put a poll up to see if we have numbers and we'll aim to confirm it after next Wednesday's training.

Rego reminder: You can sign up at this weekend's trial or training next week. Rego is to be completed (froms signed, money paid) by the end of the month at the latest as the IAFA is seeking early fees in the region of $6000 from our two teams.

Despite suggestions that splitting from the FFA would mean lower fees, the IAFA levy on clubs this year is exactly the same as it was last year, which is why we are keeping our fee the same as well. Our $200 per person fee also covers home referee fees of $90 per home game and ground rental of $60 per home game plus $300 in training ground cost and $200 in training and match balls.

We will continue doing some fundraising this season, through the BBQ and bar and events. The Coledale junior club also has fundraisers and I'll post info soon about a surfing comp they are running. It always helps if we support the juniors where possible.

Cheers
Tony
