Hi WARMS family hope you had a great Christmas.
Some news items for club members.
1. A reminder that with the hot weather commencing that the club has a Fire Ban Bylaw in place that applies to all members and visitors to the field. Please read it and ensure you know what your obligations are. It applies to both state wide fire bans and local council bans.
2. Security camera's are now installed and operating, one is a panoramic view of the field and is updated every five minutes. This is available on the WARMS website and is accessed thru the drop down menu located at the top right hand side of the homepage.
The second is for security purposes only.
3. The club has purchased a defibrillator which has been installed in the charge shed. This was purchased in co-operation with the car club (50/50) and will enable them to access it at any given time.
Training by St Johns ambulance in the operation of the Defib is being organised for the new year and members will be informed when this is happening.
4. Just a reminder that aggressive and threatening behaviour/language towards any club member will not be tolerated and will be dealt with by the club committee.
5. Sponsorship for the club is being sought from several different sources to enable the club to continue to make improvements to the field.
6. The canteen continues to operate on every Saturday morning, opening at 8.00am, closing at 11.30am.
Thank you to all of the volunteers (Harry, Glynn, Tom, Ryan and Ursula, Bill, Mike and David.) that have operated it for the past 4 months, it has been a great success, well done!
7. If there is anyone out there that would like to assist in the canteen, just approach one of the committee to get your name put on the roster.
8. There is still quite a number of MAAA members cards in the canteen that have not been collected!!
Could you please approach a member of the canteen or a committee member to pick yours up.
