The AGM of the Littlehampton Tennis Club is coming up on Thursday the 12th of June 2014 at 7.30 pm in the Anembo Park clubrooms. The AGM is usually short where the subs are set for the 2014/15 season, the old committee retires and a new committee is voted in for the new season.

Roles up for grabs:

• Saturday Senior Coordinator – general running of Saturday tennis.
• Secretary – handles correspondence, minutes and club paperwork
• Property Manager/s – makes sure all our equipment and facilities are in good condition
• General committee members – attend committee meetings, give input into decisions and help out where possible

We are also in need of help in the following areas. These are small ways that you can assist with the running of the club and will make a big difference!

• Sponsorship coordinator – Visit existing sponsors with renewal letters and approach potential new sponsors.
• Chocolate Drive Coordinator – Distribute numbered choc boxes to players/junior families and collect money.
• Fundraising/Social Coordinator – Organise and assist with fundraising and/or social events for the club.
• Bunnings BBQ Coordinator – Call for volunteers (through various competition coordinators), organise roster, set up and pack up BBQ gear at Bunnings.
• Trophies Coordinator – Choose and order trophies for Senior and Junior Saturday and Midweek competitions. Names will be supplied by coordinators.

We would like to see as many people attend as possible. Please show your support for our club by coming along. If you are unable to attend, perhaps you could contact me with an offer to do one of the above jobs.

We are looking for someone to take on coordinating the Bunnings BBQ for our club. This is not a huge job – we only do 1 or 2 of these per year. The idea here is to try and take some of the workload of the “usual suspects” that do so much for our club and to try to avoid them getting burnt out.

Here’s roughly what’s involved – we can give you more detail later if you think you might be the person for the job:

• Liase with Bunnings to choose dates for the year – let LTC committee know dates
• Order snags, bread. Organise sauce, utensils etc.
• Collect all food/drink/utensil items on the day and deliver to the BBQ
• Return all food/drink/utensils at the end of the day

Doesn’t sound like much does it? If you are a senior Saturday player, it would certainly qualify for working off your levy. If we can farm out some of these smaller jobs, the current committee will last A LOT longer – every little bit helps. So – how about it?? Do your bit for the club and put your hand up.

Do you want to be at LTC’s Quiz Night? Well do ya, punk? Do ya? Do ya? There’s not much to know, but here are the basics:

• February 22nd, 2014
• Anembo Park Clubrooms (expertly decorated by the President)
• Doors open at 7pm for a 7:30pm start
• BYO Drinks & Nibbles
• Bring lots of coinage for some side games
• Best-dressed table wins a prize
• Book single seats or register as a group (of up to 10)

Tickets can be purchased direct from Wade (0421 706 812) or Sue (0421 705 302).

Just a reminder to everyone about the HTA Hot Weather Policy – if the forecast from the Bureau of Meteorology (on Friday night TV weather reports) is 36 or higher for Mt Barker, there will be no Senior or Junior tennis on Saturday. Go to the beach or hit the pool instead.
