We had a very successful AGM on Thursday night....no fights, no arguments but a good few laughs.
The season is nearly upon us and getting us ready for the start was the main topic of the session.
But here are a few other topics that came up at the meeting;
We will need new second shirts for home games if our colors clash with the opposition. Yes, I know green and white hoops clashing with other teams seems a bit far fetched but dem are da rules! Black shirts with our normal numbers will be purchased.
We remind everyone that the 2010/2011 season will now extend to the end of November! This allows the league to revert to the calendar season for 2012.
Discipline was discussed and a reminder that yellow cards and red cards actually can cost the club money, as well as possibly lose us a game ! For those players with a poor disciplinary record ( you know who you are! ) we all agreed that if you receive a yellow card in a game then you will have to be benched for the rest of the game to make sure you don't get a red. This actually works. Roniildo and myself will be the on field coordinators for this decision. We think Carlos is banned for 2 -3 games for his red card in the last game. Will get this confirmed.
Tom A will support me on game day.
Tano made a case for training sessions to get us fit and to practice moves...we all agreed but need to find a field!
New player... Rugginho
Finances are good but we have new fees due in June and August ( $650 ). Roniildo will work out what new fees will be needed in May.
Field and game schedule....El Gato reminded us of some of the field and time changes for the new season. I will post the game schedule on the pages section of the blog but if you want to see the master schedule here it is;
http://www.stitchgifts.com/sasl/saslschedule10-11.htmThe Hulk is the new Entertainment officer and has asked for guys to partner up for beer duties on game day. Please put the pairs on the comments section. If you haven't asked anyone to be your partner I will create a special blog section so that you can make the proposal in relative privacy.....
El Gato and Tano are trying to get us a scrimmage game or at least a run out on a field Sunday 3rd April. We need to start getting ready for the season! We are five points behind the two teams in the promotion positions!! We need to stop drawing games and win a few!
And finally, if you want to know how seriously Tano was taking the meeting look at the photo below.....Don't mess with him in AGM mode!
The next indoor game is against North Branford at 7pm! We only have two more indoor games left before the start of the outdoor season so if you've done no exercise and have been eating like a sumo wrestler since the last outdoor game you may want to do something between now and the 10th to make sure you don't have a heart attack during the first game! Hey, we are all over 40 ish now! I know Tano has been practising and working out almost every day or so! He will be exhausted for the start of the season..... kidding!
