Congratulations to U13 players Reuben Komene and Jai Hedger who will both be celebrating their 50th games this weekend. Well done to both boys on reaching this milestone.

There is a lot of work that goes into setting up the grounds each week. For our home games we ask that parents assist by helping the Coaches, Team Managers and Grounds Manager by marking our grounds and picking up any rubbish/sticks/stones/dog poo that we don’t want players to land on (gloves provided). It’s usually the Under 9 parents that get this fun job, but it is important that the grounds are safe to play on. We also need helpers at the end of the day to pack up after the last game – many hands make light work!

Last week the club has rolled out BlueQ. This is a database, chosen by the NFL, to store and administer our compliance with Child Safe Standards, first aid training and coaching courses. The many wonderful volunteers in our club will have received an email about how to load up their details. Please let Kirsty (secretary@njfc.com.au) know if you have not received the email. This initiative will be a significant aid to ensuring we do all we can to keep our children safe and provide up to date training to all those teaching our kids how to play the game.

Thankyou for being patient with us as we source clothing for the 2017 season. - The first order of training tops was delivered this week; the second order for those who registered a little later should be with us within the next fortnight (hopefully next week). They will be handed out to the children at training. - The socks are supplied by the NFL and we have to wait for them to fill this order (Sorry but they can’t tell us when this will be!) - The hoodies are being re-designed for this season and beyond and will be available…

Just a final message for 2016 to let you know what's been happening as we work towards season 2017... New Committee Members Welcome to our new Committee Members! Mark Armstrong and Vic Chiappini have put their hands up to join the Committee as Social Coordinators. Club social events have been lacking in the past few years without anyone filling this role so we’re glad to be able to address this gap. We also welcome Chris McGeachan, who has taken on the important role of Player Welfare Officer. We now have enough Committee Members but still need volunteers for other key…
