Eagles News #1 2008
Posted: Wed Jan 16, 2008 11:13 pmFirst to all at SA Footy - Happy New Year and good luck for the coming season of SANFL footy – looks as if it will be a very close competition.
A Reminder to members the AGM is Tuesday February 5th. at Woodville Oval. The 3 retiring board members were the only nominees at the close of nominations and so have been reappointed to the board – sorry folks you’ve got me for another 2 years!
The AGM is important for a number of reasons as was outlined in the annual report to members as it gives you a chance to query and question your board on all matters pertaining to the club. It also gives the board an opportunity to expand on matters and issues.
Some things from the Annual Report I believe are worth highlighting here:
Football Club profit $46,239, Eagles Club profit $114,508 - Total Profit for 2007: $160,748
(2006 combined profit $148,313) increase of over $12,000 on 2006
We have secured a long term lease of our home ground of Woodville Oval with co-operation from the Charles Sturt Council. The board will now be considering plans for the entire Woodville Oval facilities – better facilities for players, staff and members including a lift to the function room.
We continue to have our lease on our summer home of Thebarton Oval with the possibility of having up to 3 league games there each season. In 2008 we play 2 games at Thebby. As our CEO stated if lights and other facilities continue to be upgraded at Thebby we would consider some night games there. With our long term arrangements with the council Woodville will be home to the WWTFC for many years to come!
Some Quotes from the report – The annual report is well worth reading.
“I can assure you we do not accept finishing third” from President Les Steven’s report
“To finish in third position is one that all sections of the club were not happy about”
from Kurt Slaven – Director - Football Innovations Report
“We do consider our finishing position this year to be a failure” from Ron Fuller‘s report
“we need to and can improve” from Justin Cicolella’s report
It is pretty clear what we want in 2008 and I guess we’ll be judged on what we deliver.
Also at the AGM will be presentations of Life Memberships so all members put the 5th of February in your diaries – if you haven’t renewed your membership or wish to join up you are most welcome to at the AGM.
