2007 Club Spenditure

An extremely hard working group of parents and players have been working towards our 2007 season since last October. As a result of their time, motivation and skills our club has been in the position to purchase and accomplish all these:

Sufficient funds were raised to;

$8000.00 was raised to install permanent flood lights at the school so that our junior teams could practice in a safe and well lit area.

$4000.00 has been raised to hire the new Bishopdale YMCA so that all teams from Under 15 grade through to our senior teams can train indoors all season using the two international class courts and facilities.

purchase additional netball tops and skirts to outfit an additional 4 teams, increasing our teams from 19 in 2006 to 23 teams this season.

purchase 42 new match balls.

purchase 10 new team kit bags.

purchase 10 new first Aid kits.
