2013 AGM and Presentations
Welcome & Presidents Report
Welcome to the Hampton Hammers Annual General Meeting and presentation night for 2013. My name is Robin Batt and I am the current President.
This year we had 24 teams participate, which equates to over 170 Players, 28 Coaches, lots of Team Managers and many willing parents doing their duty at the matches – thankyou to you all
Tomorrow we have 4 teams going into the Grand Final, these teams are
U13B Raiders,
U13A Titans,
15D Ravens, and
Under 15A Phoenix
Congratulations on getting into the finals, good luck to you all and I urge you to come along and support our teams
In addition tomorrow we have 5 x U11’s teams celebrating the end of the season with a Round Robin tomorrow morning. Again, if you have time, please come along and support our U11’s teams.
In January this year with an expansion of our grading to include U15’s in addition to the U11’s and U13’s. This was a big task and I would like to thank Wendy Wroblewski and Cheryl Huxtable, who took this on, and I believe we had some really good outcomes. We also had some learnings and have encouraged all our coaches to give us feedback.
In May, Hampton Hammers again played a lead role with the SDNA Pink Lady Day.
We raised nearly $5000 and this would not have been possible without the assistance of a number of people. In particular I would like to thank
- Rose Karamitos, and Emily Beasley for the supply of beautifully decorated cup cakes,
- Shawna Annear, Shirley Dare, Jill Esplan, Jane and Jack Curran for their donations and help on the day
- Teresa Savage who donated the commission of her sales from her stall
- And the many kids and parents for helping to sell tickets, rattle tins, do hair colour and face paint etc.
Thankyou
