Pre Tournament Drinks & ChilliDear Members, Welcome back to what we hope will be a successful and enjoyable 2nd half of the season. I hope you have had a restful festive period and are raring to get back to training and playing korfball in order to work off any extra Christmas over indulgence. Those of you who were at the AGM will remember that we set out some key targets for this season which were to fill all committee positions and recruit new players at all levels. The club remains in a healthy position, not only financially, but with a very dedicated committee. However, we must not rest on our laurels. We need to recruit more players in order to compete at the very top and the committee have a number of initiatives planned in order to motivate members to help the recruitment process. We are offering a 50% membership discount to new squad members and to members who recruit someone of that level. We will also be holding a “bring a friend” session early February to name just a few of our ideas. There are a number of ways in which every single member of the club can support the committee and coaching team to drive our club forward and lighten the load for certain individuals who currently undertake a disproportionate amount of the workload. I do not want anyone to compare themselves to other members or finger point at those perceived to do less than others. If every member made it their new year’s resolution to continue completing the tasks/jobs they currently do and also add one or two new ones the club will continue to progress, the workload will be less, and all members, committee and coaches will be happier. Please see my extensive list of what you can do to help you club: • Attend training regularly • Listen to the coaches and strive to improve • Be on time to matches and training sessions • Help put equipment out and back at the end • Wash the bibs • Take the balls home (and bring them back to training / matches) • Enter your availability on the website with plenty of notice • Write a match report • Wash the kit • Arrive early or stay late to coach/encourage another team • Ref a game or two • Get qualified as a ref so you can ref some regional league games • Shot clock • Help set up the summer tournament • Manage a team • Help pack up after the summer tournament • Bring a friend to training • Deliver some posters to help us recruit • Pay your subs on time without being chased • Give someone a lift to training Finally, we have produced a survey to gauge why there has been a drop in the number of members attending training regularly. The survey is anonymous so please take a few minutes to answer honestly by copying the following link into your web browser. https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/YPXLDP7 Please remember, this is your club so please contribute in any way you can.Report by: Andy Attendees & responses (17)PlayerResponseLast UpdatedAnnaAccepted28 May 10 17:10KarenJAccepted03 Jun 10 01:48JaneAccepted08 Jun 10 23:39LyndaAccepted17 Jun 10 09:42ZoeAccepted21 Jun 10 16:59DebsAccepted23 Jun 10 20:40HannahAccepted25 Jun 10 13:25KathyAccepted26 Jun 10 10:06AdAccepted27 May 10 23:26ZutonAccepted01 Jun 10 22:00Accepted10 Jun 10 12:06PhilAccepted25 Jun 10 12:07AndyTentative04 Jun 10 13:32SarahDeclined27 May 10 18:53GraceDeclined14 Jun 10 15:02StephDeclined15 Jun 10 14:14SarahHDeclined21 Jun 10 10:39
