Dear Players,
Parents, Sponsors & friends of the Mighty Knights,
I am very
pleased to announce the launch of a new club website.
The web address
is identical; www.eastmalvernknights.com.au so some of you may have already
noticed the change.
I am not only
writing to you to let you know about the new website but to thank 2 of our
Knights parents for their enormous contribution to the club. Firstly to Dale
Smith. Dale has been a Knights parent since his son Harry commenced playing
with the Knights in Under 9’s back in 2003. Dale has served on the committee
and had 2 more boys play footy at the club and contributed in countless other
areas including taking on the role of team manager this year for the Under 14’s.
He has been the host, manager and arranged for the web design of our old web
site. All of this for the benefit of the club and you the members.
The demands of
the club and importance of web communication has seen the club, with Dales
support look to upgrade and redevelop our website.
This takes me
to the second thankyou.
Greg Miller who
joined our committee this year and revamped Knights News offered to investigate
the establishment of a new website for the Knights. Through the clubs
relationship with Sporting Pulse, there was an opportunity to redevelop the
website and revamp its content for the fraction of the cost that a
professionally designed website would cost. Over the break from football and
the school holidays Greg has rebuilt the new Knights website. This has been
done with the support of Dale Smith and assistance from Dale’s web designer
Mike Presland. Without the assistance of these 2 this project would not have
been possible.
The new website
has many new features and retains all of the club history and past information.
It will eventually allow us to establish a merchandise section to more easily
facilitate the purchasing of club apparel as well as linking directly to the on
line registration used so successfully last season. It also enables the club to
provide our sponsors with better exposure to their business. As we know and
appreciate sponsorship is the lifeline of any club run by volunteers. Hopefully
this upgrade will enable us to attract more businesses to support the Mighty
Knights in the future.
I hope that
everyone enjoys exploring the new website and when you get a chance please
thank Dale for his ongoing support of the Knights and thank Greg for the hours
he has put in developing the new site
It is this commitment
and countless hours that individuals put into our club that ensures we are able
to offer all of our sons and daughters a fun, safe and organised environment to
contribute to the community and play sport.
This letter
expresses the thanks and appreciation of the committee and I hope the same
sentiments from all of our players, sponsors and parents.
Best Wishes for
the rest of the season.

President
East Malvern Junior Football Club
