New Committee

Brothers Rugby recently held it’s Annual General Meeting for 2010. After listening to the Presidents, Club Captains and Treasurers Reports, the meeting got down to the business of selecting a new committee to guide the club through the 2011 season. The following have been elected for the committee for 2011:

President: Scott James
Club Captain: Paul Gibbs
Secretary: Matt McIntyre
Treasurer: Tania Betts/ Emily McIntyre
Communications/Website: Andy Carroll/Niall O’Riordan
Committee members: Dave Bullard, John Andrews, Adrian Brannan

Other committee positions were unfilled such as Gear Manager and Social Coordinator, so if you have a desire to organise kit, or be the centre of social activities for next season, please contact myself of Matt.

Now that the committee is in place, we’ll start the process of planning for the coming 2011 season. We are scheduling our first committee meeting where we plan on appointing coaches for each of the grades and building our plan for the season. Early discussions have been around appointing a ‘Rugby Committee’ which will focus on the player group, leaving the main committee to focus on administering the Club, further news will follow after the meeting.

The planning for the 2011 season is well under way. We are looking into entering a 10’s competition on the last week of February with a full trial schedule in March with one trial being out of town. The season looks like starting on April 2 at this stage with the draw to be finalised in February

We have also locked in the Brothers Christmas drinks. This will be held on Friday December 3rd up at the Orchard from 6pm. Bring the wife/girlfriend along for a good night and a bit of festive cheer.

Just a quick reminder, for those that want to remain in some sort of shape for Christmas, or not suffer so much when pre-season starts, we have a couple of things you can take advantage of. Tom Burns is running a twice weekly boxing/fitness session at Chatswood Oval on Mondays and Wednesdays, starting at 6:30PM (weather dependant). Also, the club has a relationship with Crunch Gym which has just opened up in Chatswood (across the tracks from the Orchard). We have special relationship with the gym where there is no locked in contract and the joining fees waived. With you weekly fee a possible $4.95 a week, there is no reason not to go. If you are interested in joining please contact Matt on 0433 542 219 or mmcintyre@axitrader.com.au

Yours in Rugby,
The New Brothers Committee
