Volunteer thanks – Brad McMaster
Three cheers for Brad! We would like to extend our thanks to Brad McMaster for the commitment and effort that he has put into the club. Brad single handedly constructed the new Bendigo sign on top of our club house as well as put a new door in the change rooms. He has been at the club for many years and has been a coach (of the year last year) and is an active volunteer being the runner for the U12 boys and U15 Girls. Its volunteers like Brad that makes our club what it is today and we thank you.

Good Luck from everyone at the Pumas Alex!
Well done to the Pumas Girls!
In our first ever all Girls Puma game we went down by a narrow 10pts to Parkridge. The coaches and team were thrilled when our first ever Puma Girls goal came from Dallas. The girls scored 4 goals 5 behinds and went in hard. It was a great game of footy. Good luck this week against Calamvale under lights at their home ground!
Win $5,000 for U and $5,000 for the Community
Bendigo Bank is offering $5,000 to one lucky customer in Queensland who takes out a new Bendigo Insurance policy before 30 June. And because we’re all about protecting and growing the local community too, if you win your town/suburb also wins $5,000 towards a local project or initiative that’s safeguarding the community. Call them if you need insurance 3208 2611 (see the attached flier).
Facebook
We need to remind everyone that to defame, abuse, or whinge on facebook can carry huge penalties. Last week the league suspended an U16 player from another Brisbane Club for 10 weeks (that’s his season over) for bringing the name of AFL into disrepute by his comment on Facebook. I am disappointed to say that we nearly suffered the same fate. The playing group in question has been addressed and will be closely watched in the near future.
Furthermore facebook ‘whining’ has caused one of our volunteers who does a fantastic job at a role to step down from the role due to petty and self-centred complaints made on face book. This I find extremely disappointing.
Please use great caution using Facebook. It is a social forum and not meant to be used for hateful, hurtful or harmful comments.. more often than not it is used as this. Be warned it carries heavy penalties EVEN IF you are posting just so your friends can see it … it makes no difference to the law.
