WELCOME TO SEASON 2012
SIGN ON WEEKEND ; 11TH & 12TH FEBRUARY 10am TO 2pm CLUB FUNCTION ROOM
Most of you would have received an email from the AFLBJ enabling you to reregister “on line” for 2012.
For those that did not receive the email, please contact me and I will give you your password which will enable you to register through our website. Those that have no email access, it is best to register in person on “sign on” weekend.
You do not have to pay on line, once you have confirmed your details just press escape, you are now registered but not paid. Payment can be made on sign on weekend, or at club reception between the hours of 10.00am to 4.30pm daily. No registrations will be accepted after 4.30pm. Any families with more than 1 child can register “on line” but will need to pay in person as there is a discount involved, so payment has to be made at the club.
If you have not registered your child prior to 12th February, your child will be unable to train as he or she will not be covered by insurance. Remember you can register on line and not pay immediately as long as payment is made prior to first grading game.

Annual Gala Ball; will be held at the Eaton’s Hill Tavern on Saturday 2nd June, this is a combined function for Seniors and Juniors. Great opportunity for Junior parents to meet our Senior players.

Trivia Night; TBC 16th June: This night is our only major fund raiser for Juniors so please support this function. At this time it will be held at the Aspley East Primary School .As usual each team is to donate a prize for the raffle, can be in the form of a basket of goodies, movie tickets, white goods etc, it does not need to be expensive. Individual donations will be accepted you might have a business that is able to donate. We will promote that business on the night with advertising, flyers etc.
Team Photo; Night Monday 16th July more information to follow.
Working Bee on Saturday the 18th February 8.00am to 12 noon so if you are able to give us an hour of your time that would be great. Jobs to be done are:
- Gardening, laying down some wood chips on the garden plus trimming
- Repair some fencing and signs

If you have your own gardening gloves and tools it will be handy, there will be some equipment available. Please let me know in advance for those that can help out with the fencing and coaches box, might be able to organize a specific time. Gardening can be anytime.
Senior Player allocation; in 2012, all State league players will be allocated to youth teams to assist in training one night per month. Junior teams will have allocation of players as per requested by junior coaches. We believe this is a terrific initiative to assist in junior players getting to know our State League players. We also want to encourage junior players and parents to attend home games at Aspley.
