I would like to
take this opportunity to welcome everyone to the 2008 season at Melville Junior
Football Club. Registration numbers have again been strong this year which is
due in no small part to the tireless work of the Committee and coaching staff.
We have excellent numbers in Auskick and the Club is represented in every age
group except Under 17's. We have an excellent coaching staff this season, all
ready to impart their knowledge and experience of the game to their players with
the able assistance of Brenton Cunningham, the Coaching
Co-Ordinator.
Planning is well
underway for an upgrade of the lighting at the ground in the second half of the
season, together with the construction of an all weather pergola in front of the
existing clubrooms. In addition, a new scoreboard has been erected and should be
finished in the very near future. Upgrades will not stop there and keep checking
this site to find out the latest innovations.
No Club would
function without the valuable assistance of sponsors. Accordingly, I would ask
that you patronise the sponsors whose details appear on this site. In addition,
if you as a parent are able to offer the Club any financial assistance, it will
always be greatly appreciated and the recognition for your efforts will be
made.
Thanks to Jenny
Cutts, we now have a fine array of Club merchandise which will make us the envy
of other clubs. Please see Jenny for all your needs in this
area.
Please also keep
an eye on the site for upcoming social events, a very important part of Club
fundraising activities.
Importantly, we
are keen to compile a detailed history of the Club, which is one of the oldest
in the competition. If anyone is prepared to assist in this area it will be
greatly appreciated as would any material such as photographs, memorabilia
or records that would assist with this endeavour.
Finally, I wish
everyone a great season with the emphasis on building camaraderie and teamwork
on and off the field with the ultimate intention of having
fun.
Best
Wishes,
