The Eagles began the year with reservations on how it would pan out. We had 4 members and some extras turn up to the opening meeting, and not all were willing to carry out their commitments through the year. We were very fortunate to have some new families come in where some very dedicated parents with no or little AFL experience roll up their sleeves and pitch in throughout the year. Without this help the club would not have survived.
Our club grew from just an Auskick side to having an Under 9's side as well. In that side, only 3 of the players were 8 or over, the majority were 7, and there were even a couple of 6 year olds. This is playing in the Under 9's against more older, experienced teams from larger clubs.
Now we find ourselves at the crossroads. Our dedicated President, Auskick Co-ordinator, and Under 9's Coach is leaving the area with his family. While we absolutley thank Alan for his outstanding efforts this year, and wish he and his family all the best, we will definitely miss his contributions to the club. And don't forget that we are losing 2 stalwarts from the Under 9's team.
The AGM is on Thursday 25th October, 7pm at Dapto Leagues club. The future of the club will be determined by the people who turn up to this meeting. No doubts about it folks, it is up to you to pitch in an d keep the club alive.
