Introduction & W

elcome Mixed Start to the Season.

Welcome to all players, families, officials, volunteers, sponsors and supporters.

Mixed results have been the order of the day over the first rounds of football

so far this season. The Seniors sides are now showing promise after an interrupted April, the Youth Girls are improving every week, and all Junior teams are competing admirably. We’ve been advised by the Australian Sports Foundation that the Lights

Project will gain tax deductibility status. Also, we are planning a Club BBQ fundraiser on Sunday June 13th, featuring a lap-a-thon challenge. Also, Werribee FC is hosting a Multicultural Day at Avalon Airport Oval this Friday 21st May (see flyer). Some teams are still looking volunteers. Contact your Team Managers. In this issue, I’ll provide a snapshot summary of footy results, provide a 2010 fixture, and update you on ground conditions, site access and key dates. Thanks to all our volunteers and sponsors (list now updated) for 2010.

Keep working towards those common goals on and off the field. Go Warriors!

From the President

From our President, Adrian Lipscombe:

Club Unity, Direction and Goals.

So often when Clubs expand, the lines of communication are blurred and the overall direction of the Club is not as visible to members as it should be.

We aim to identify who we are, why we are here, what we stand for and where are we going in our Club’s direction.

As Club President, it is my duty to ensure that our direction is visible, promoted and that all members are engaged.

Our 11 football teams and 2 cricket teams that we put on the park each week are at the core of any direction the Club takes.

As a volunteer and amateur Club, the Committee will provide all members the resources to promote and achieve:

• Enjoyment; • Player development and Progression • Success both on and off the field; • Stability; • Commitment; • Passion; • Discipline and respect; • Integration between all age groups; • Structure; • Progression to higher standards in all areas.

Our Club is always going to be in a constant state of change. People come and go depending on their circumstances in life. All members have a responsibility of ensuring the culture that is generated aims to meet the overall direction of the Club towards its ultimate aim of delivering its mission and realising its vision.

On behalf of the Committee I would like to congratulate all the teams on their efforts so far, and wish them the best of success for the rest of season. Thankyou everyone once again for your time and support.

Yours in Football.

Adrian Lipscombe President OWAFC

CLUB BBQ

Fundraiser

On Sunday 13th June (long weekend), the Club is proposing a BBQ Fundraiser Day for all teams commencing 12pm. It is a great opportunity for all teams to mix together with a common goal of raising funds for the Club lights project. A feature of the afternoon (and useful training session) will be the “Lap-a-thon”, where all players are encouraged to obtain sponsorship to run as many laps as they can (or sponsor someone – per lap – to do it for you). A goal kick challenge and mini footy game(s) will also take place – subject to adequate numbers. Further information and forms will be issued soon. Please register your interest with your team manager so we can organise the day.

MOUTH-GUARDS

Please note that all players should be wearing mouthguards during

games and at training during contact drills.

The Club advises that mouthguards are compulsory for all Junior

Players and that insurances may not cover players who sustain

mouth/teeth injuries if they’re not wearing mouthguards.

Mouthguards should ideally be professionally fitted,

and you should contact your Team Manager or Co-ordinator for

recommendations on where this can be done conveniently.

OLD FOOTY BOOTS

Those boots were meant for playing……….

Hey mums and players! Have you gotten too big for your boots?

Well, don’t leave those small footy boots at home gathering dust,

and never throw them away if they’re in good condition.

Why not bring them into the Club on training days and offer them

for ‘cheap’ sale or as a giveaway to a smaller Old Westbourne

player who could use them for 2010? This is a great way to get

those boots back where they belong……on the footy field!

Do it now! Find those old boots and put them in your bag ready for

the next training day!

We have arranged with Good Sports to run an RSA (Responsible Serving of Alcohol) course at our venue next Tuesday. Thank you to those people; all are asked to arrive approx. 6.45pm for 7pm start. See full article for participants list.

Assistance Needed

URGENT: Help Needed: Especially for changes to Website!

Looking for anyone interested in helping out with the

Ground Report

Ground report: The two main ovals are in fantastic shape, clearly better shape at this time of year than the past few years. We thank all teams for their patience and understanding during the re-

seeding program. We now have many teams wishing to use the one lit

Colledge (East) oval over the 5 week days. This will inevitably result in some overlap of training sessions. All teams should be respectful of others

and we trust that the respective coaches can work together for this short term inconvenience, and arrange training drills accordingly, until the lights

are installed on the Williams (West) oval. Our special thanks to Graeme Clark of “Statewide Water Cartage” for his assistance and generous rates for services offered to the Club and school over the summer period. Statewide also offers Labour Hire Services.

Contact Graeme on 0414 984 702 for his services.

Light Poles

NEW LIGHT POLES! Two new light poles have been received for the West (Williams) oval. When installed (pending final footing design and building permit), they will provide much needed relief to the (main) East (Colledge) oval, especially with the heavy training workload. This is a significant capital expenditure for our Club, and there are plans to raise funds during the year to assist with the costs associated with this important project. These will include major raffles, BBQs and other functions. Australian Sports Foundation: The Club has received preliminary advice from the Australian Sports Foundation (which is a Government initiative to promote sporting projects in Australia) that the Old

Westbourne Training Lights Project will be eligible for tax deductibility benefits for donations. ASF donation forms will be prepared soon and a copy will be given to every Member. Donations of $2 or more will be tax deductible. Old Westbourne is also to receive consideration for a discretionary grant.

ACCESS Update

Access to the school (Clubrooms etc) from Sayers Road has been disrupted with construction works for the new Year 9 Learning Centre. NO ACCESS IS PERMITTED via the ‘old farm gate’ off Sayers Road, so it is recommended that all traffic progress via the main school entry off Sayers Road or via Marquands Road (Gate C).

Work on the new entry via Sayers Road (at Doubell Boulevard) is expected to be started soon.

TRAINERS

REQUIRED

Trainers are urgently required for the Senior Teams.

Duties include pre-game strapping, massage and on-field assistance.

Nurses and some medical personnel may already pre-qualify.

Course training fees will be paid for by the Club. Remuneration can be negotiated. Contact the Senior Football Manager – Damien Billman: Ph. 0409 210 208 Email: [email protected] Or the Club – Email: [email protected]

Volunteers

Your Club and Team needs volunteers! The Club and all teams express their thanks to all the volunteers who offered their precious time and efforts to the multitude of tasks required to make it possible for the players to take the field on game days 2010. Volunteering is fun and rewarding, course training is paid for by the Club, and remuneration may be available for senior team trainers. Please refer to your Club or team management if you are willing, prepared

and able to assist in any way. As with previous years, trainers are urgently required for some

teams. Pre-qualified first-aiders and some medical/nursing staff may already have the required pre-requisites. Also, check local newspapers and take note of other Club advertisements seeking coaching and training staff for 2010. Please contact the relevant Coordinator, Coach or Team Manager should you wish to assist with a team role for 2010. Note: Whilst parents most often fill the volunteering roles for Junior teams, Senior teams all over the Region struggle to find regular volunteers. Please be mindful of this when attending matches, and offer assistance when you are in a position to help.

Courses

NOW is the time to think about course training for 2010. Note to anyone wishing to volunteer – course fees are paid for by the Club.

The Club needs team trainers and Club Umpires. Check the status of your current registration. Are you due for renewal? Also, Wyndham City Council is offering education and training opportunities as part of the Wyndham Volunteer and Community Learning Program. Check their website for upcoming courses that may be of interest to you. Most courses are free, except for First Aid.

Uncollected Trophies

There is a number of uncollected trophies at the Club

awaiting collection.

U11 News: 2010 Captain: Jarod Sutton Vice Captain: Zac Strong Coach Brian Knee, Asst Coach Dean Stanley, Team Manager Val Lear

The Under 11s are travelling well this season. We are currently

sitting 2nd on the ladder, only percentage is keeping us from the number one spot. We have played 6 games with 5 wins and 1 loss.

Our numbers are up this year to 25 which is encouraging. All the boys are enjoying their footy and we are seeing an improvement in

players every week.

U12 News: 2010 Captain: Vice Captain: Training days are Tuesday and Thursday.

Training nights as of 16/03/2010 will be Tuesday and Thursday. Parent Helpers required. Please see Michelle.

U14 News: It has been a great start to the year both on and off the field

for the under 14 squad this year. We have had great numbers to training each night, with good communication from players unable

to make it. A special thanks to ALL of the parents, who have put their hand up to help each week, making the team manager's role a

lot easier. It is great not having to chase helpers each week. The under 14 side has been graded into "C" Division and are

showing excellent form. Injuries have hit hard early in the season, and we wish the boys a speedy recovery, and hope they can get back playing soon.

COACH’S REPORT

The U14's have had a good start to the year sitting 3rd on the

ladder with a 4-2 record. While our 4 wins have been against struggling teams, the 2 losses have been against top teams and we

have not been disgraced in either. The most pleasing aspect as coach is that all the players have improved individually as well as improving each week as a team. All we need now is for our

players to stop breaking bones so we can get a full team on the park and we should have an exciting season ahead of us. Let's make

sure we keep getting to training as the weather gets colder and wetter. Thanks to the parents who have helped me so far both at

training and on match days and for all the phone calls keeping me up to date on players’ availability for training and games, it

makes my job a lot easier. Training is Wednesday and Friday.

Coach - Mark Robinson, Asst Coach - Bruce Anthony Team Manager - Mark Stephens Runner - Matt Iannacone, Trainers - Norm McGinness, Donna Chysostomou.

The boys continue to work very hard at training and are improving each week. We

have been very competitive for parts of all matches without getting the results the

boys deserve. Outscored Wyndhamvale in the second half 9goals to 8, Came home

with a wet sail against North Footscray to fall 9 points short, Outscored by Deer Park 5

goals to 4 in the second half on the weekend, plus 2 wins.

It is pleasing to see individual improvement in many players, and I believe that as the

individual gains confidence it will flow onto the group. Fantastic chasing and effective

tackles by all the boys on the weekend.

We are not that far away.

Set yourself a personal goal, be ready to go from the first bounce!

Training is on Tuesday and Thursday nights.

Liquor Licence, Membership Tickets & RSA Course Our liquor licence was granted on May 3 & includes conditions that were generally expected. It is good from both the social & fundraising aspects for the club to have the renewable limited licence as it lawfully allows us to sell liquor to members & guests for consumption on the premises. Briefly the conditions/ limitations include:

a) Days & hours We can only trade on 4 days of the week, Thu to Sun. There are specific hours for each of those 4 days & we must adhere to those.

b) Amenity We are not to cause or permit undue detriment to the amenity of the area during or immediately after trading hours. This refers primarily to noise & includes music/ entertainment noise levels, which are set by a State Environment Protection Policy, from any function as well as traffic, etc when leaving the school site.

c) Special Condition No liquor is to be supplied during, or for 30 minutes after, any match or training session involving persons under 18 years of age.

The licence does allow the club to hold pre-booked non-member functions (if it so decides) but again only within the days & hours specified. The licence also has a Section 120(2)(e) Approval:— Persons under the age of 18 years are permitted on the licensed club premises other than in the company of a responsible adult in relation to preparation for and participation in sporting events only during the trading hours (as specified in the licence). This approval does not include social activities but does include presentation functions. The licence has an accompanying endorsed plan which defines the licensed area outlined in red. It is the area contained within the walls upstairs of the Andrew Park Pavilion. As well as the conditions of the licence the club still has to comply with the policies set by our applicable leagues. These are: * For WRFL junior games— No alcohol to be consumed during or between junior games. * For VAFA games—No alcohol to be consumed until after completion of the last game on the day. The only exception is for sit down luncheons between the hours of noon & 2 pm & subject to prior VAFA consent.

Liquor Licence (cont’d) Some repercussions from the licence are: * We need to ensure we strictly comply with the licence & alcohol consumption regulations as the licence has to be renewed each 12 months, (expiry Dec 31 each year), & we do not want any reported “incidents”. Also we have a duty of care to our members & to further develop & maintain our family friendly culture. * “Incident” could be excessive alcohol, under age persons, noise during &/or after functions, etc. Note: Good Sports ask for all incidents, regardless of whether alcohol related or not, to be listed in the Incident Register. * We can only serve & sell to members & their guests for consumption on the premises. That means there is no take-away & no “travellers”. * “On premise” is the area within the walls upstairs (the licensed area) so no drinks are to be taken outside on the balconies. Note: Penalty notices are displayed at the Bar & currently range from over $6,000 for supply to a minor up to over $13,000 regarding intoxication to both nominee/ licensee & drinker. * “Members” of OWAFC are specified in our Rules of Incorporation (& there is a condition in the licence that our Rules have to comply with Schedule 1 of the Liquor Control Reform Act 1998) & entry to the social area upstairs (the licensed premises) may be controlled by presentation of a current membership ticket. Please note that our Rules provide for opposition players & officials, etc to be temporary members for that day, thus facilitating after match drinks without the need to sign them all in as guests. Membership Tickets: As membership tickets for our 2010 twentieth year have now been printed make sure your membership fees have been paid & ensure you get your membership ticket, probably from Treasurer Troy Dennis. To assist in raising funds it is likely that for ticket No’s 2 to 100 you may have to pay a little extra to get ‘your No.’. Further details to be announced soon. Also when you are getting your membership ticket please make sure our club records are correct & up to date, including:

Name Mobile Tel Email Emergency contact (esp. for players) name & Tel. We need these for club communications otherwise you may be missing out. We also have to have a list of members under the liquor licensing requirements. “Guests of members” must be signed in the Visitors Book upon entry & must be with the member & cannot remain after the member leaves the premises. The Visitors Book & the List of Members must be available upon request if a police officer or licensing inspector makes a visit to the premises. PP. Ivan Board is the nominee on the licence. It will be club procedure that the Bar cannot be opened or remain open unless at least one responsible person who holds an RSA (Responsible Serving of Alcohol) certificate is serving in the bar. Finally, with recent community concern & publicity in regard to alcohol abuse, etc the government has reacted & increased surveillance & more regular visits by police & licensing inspectors to ensure compliance & minimize problems. Sporting clubs are

Thank you to those people; all are asked to arrive approx. 6.45pm for 7pm start. Upon satisfactory completion of the short test near the end of the session an RSA certificate will issue to each participant. As people from other clubs have been invited there could be approximately 30 participants. RSA Certificate Holders Volunteer details needed. According to records known to Ivan there are approximately 13 people (OWAFC members) that hold RSA certificates, mostly through courses arranged through OWAFC. If there are any other OWAFC members, that may have done the course via another club or organisation, & are prepared to help out occasionally at our Bar could they please advise Ivan then he will arrange to view, & possibly copy, your certificate. Ivan Board Tel: 9749 3808 or if n/a try 0422 389 102. Good Sports require that a list of those holding RSA certificates is displayed near the liquor licence in the Bar.

Good Sports Level One Accreditation. A report setting out Good Sports requirements & some benefits was included in the last newsletter. Now that our liquor licence has been issued our Level One will be achieved. Our Smoke Free Policy that was adopted in July 2000 is being updated & will replace the existing policy. The updating covers some minor re-phrasing & re-formatting only. Upon completion it will be permanently displayed in all change-rooms & in the social area. It will probably be listed in the next newsletter & on the club website.

RUBIK’S CUBE PARTY!

Ever wanted to let yourself go and change clothes with your team mates and a

bunch of strangers? Well, now you can at

Westbourne’s First Annual Rubik’s Cube Party.

Excited??? I know Riosa is!

Essentially, you must come dressed in the six colours of a Rubik's Cube (blue, green, yellow, orange, white and red).

eg. a red hat, blue shorts, green jocks, white socks, blue shirt and a yellow jacket

You go around swapping clothes and by the end of the night you end up as one

colour and can make up one side of a Rubik's Cube.

Anyone who does not end up in one colour will be dealt with by the fines committee.

Throughout the night we will have Rubik’s Cube themed drink specials, colouring in contest, classic songs about colours, a colour parade and a host of other colour

related fun.

There will be prizes for; - Best Dressed

- Sexiest Dressed - Funniest

Rules:

Each party attendee should make their best effort to wear only bright coloured clothing and wear as many different colours as possible. Accessories such as head bands, wrist bands, hats, etc. are all encouraged and make the night more fun (just

don't wear anything you want to keep).

Contact Kris for more info.
