On a pleasing note, the G.V.F.L. Delegates unanimously endorsed the appointment of new Board member Matthew CHILCOTT who has been appointed to take the vacant board position caused by the resignation of Chairman Ian McDONALD. It is very pleasing to report that each of our 12 clubs were represented at the League Meeting held on Wednesday evening where Matt addressed the Delegates. The Clubs were informed that we now have a vacancy to fill with Fitzy's resignation for a person to be appointed to that Board position until the Annual General Meeting. Nominations are to be received at the G.V.F.L. by Wednesday afternoon 19th May where the Board will then make the appointment. Prior to last Wednesday nights meeting, the remaining Board of the G.V.F.L. along with Keith WELLMAN held a Board Meeting where Rob BELL has been appointed as Acting Chairman of the League and will hold this position until a Full Board is created and the Chairman decided. Rob has indicated that he is very keen to be appointed as the Chairman.
So, as you can see, we have had some terrible disappointments with the loss of the two Ian's, Macca and Fitzy who between them have established over 80 years of exellent sports administration and have really have had a huge impact upon the League. In particualr Ian McDONALD as he has been sensational in following on from the fantastic efforts of John COGHLAN and Keith WELLMAN in getting the league out of the terrible debt it was in to now be in a reasonably healthy financial position. When you see Macca &/or Fitzy please take the time to say G'Day and tell them that they did do a fantastic job for the league. Two wins up at Lavington next Saturday will be a good way to say thanks!
As mentioned above, disappointments, but very much on the positive side, we have been quick to re-group and get on with the job and appoint Belly into the chair and have Matt CHILCOTT join the board and both getting straight into the job with the sleeves rolled up. If you are keen, or if you know someone who could add value to the League by being a Member of the Board, please contact Keith WELLMAN at the GVFL on 58216888 or e-mail Keith at :- gvfl@gvfl.com.au OK?
