Business for the AGM - Friday 11th May 2007, 7pm

The following motions have been received and will be discussed and voted on at the AGM.

Motion 1: That members nominating to play Pennant on a regular basis commit to the following conditions:

• Sign a commitment of understanding with an undertaking to:

  • Commit to 15 of 18 possible home and away games (finals have not been included)

  • Provide at least 1 weeks notice of unavailability on the list provided

  • Where adequate notice of unavailability is not given, accept that re-admittance to the team upon return will most likely be in a lower position and/or team than would normally be expected

• Must be financial (fully or partially) no later than 1^st September each year to be eligible for selection

• Consideration will be given under special circumstances

Rationale:

• To foster club loyalty from each individual

• To allow the match committee to enter and select teams with confidence

• To ensure a level of self discipline is maintained – if you're unavailable, tell us. Don't let your team down

• To ascertain a realistic number of players that can be drawn from during the season. If you don't make this commitment and a 3^rd team is not entered you will understand the position of the committee after entering 3 teams last year and having the 3^rd team forfeit approximately 12 games

• This commitment will be the sole basis upon which the general committee bases its decision on how many Pennant team are to be entered. We would like to avoid the situation encountered in 2006/07 where the 3^rd team forfeited so often

Note:

• Not agreeing to the commitment will not preclude you from playing some Pennant matches. However, it does mean the committee will not be relying on you each week and will not include you in the figures used to determine how many Pennant teams to enter

Motion 2: That the club take the logo of the Tiger

Rationale:

• To foster a sense of club and community

• To identify with the majority of the other sporting clubs in the Upwey-Tecoma area

• To become the bowling club of choice for members of the other Upwey-Tecoma “Tiger” sporting clubs once they retire from active participation in those sports

Motion 3: That the committee undertake to design and purchase coloured shirts using available sponsorship and grant funding and ensure the cost to members does not exceed $15 per member

Rationale: To design and provide coloured, BA approved shirts to the membership to ensure consistency in uniform. One short sleeve shirt will be provided to all existing members. New members will be required to purchase a shirt and all members may purchase extra shirts as required

Also, here are a couple of photos of the Pennant Presentation made prior to the Quarter final played against Yarraville-Footscray at Burwood. Well done to the top team on a great result this season.
