Newsletter – 1/10/2020 – Pittwater RSL FC

Well what a season we have had! “Are we playing?” “No we aren’t!” “YES WE ARE!!!!”

It has been a crazy season, but thanks to FNSW & NSW Health & the MWFA we finally got going!

There are only a couple of weeks of the season to go. Hopefully everyone has had a great season.

A few things before the season wraps up:

To all our coaches & managers – thank you again for the time & effort that you have put in this season. Please return your team’s coaching assessment to coaching@pittwtaerrslfc.com.au
Unfortunately, there will be NO Gala day / Presentation Day / Night (this is in accordance with NSW Health)
The Pittwater RSL Football Club’s Annual General Meeting will be held on 16^th November, 7.30pm @ the Clubhouse, Kitchener Park. Please feel free to attend. We will vote in 2021’s committee
On that note, I’m sure you would all like to join me in thanking the tireless efforts of 2020’s committee members. Without them this club would be nothing, and they give their time for the betterment of this club which is the ‘Pride of the Peninsula’
There are a number of positions becoming vacant on the committee for 2021, if you are interested in helping the club, please contact president@pittwaterrslfc.com.au
Please return your kits bags to your age co-ordinators (U/6’s please hand over on 3/10/20 at Kitchener Park)

Some great news from the office of Brad Hazzard (Minister for Health & Medical Research)

‘From THIS weekend, more than one parent may now attend community sporting activities if physical distancing of at least 1.5 metres an be maintained between people that are not from the same household.

‘We know the last few months has been hard on families who want to see their kids score a try or kick a goal on the weekend.

I would like to thank all the parents and volunteers in community sport for their commitment to following the guidelines to help keep our community safe.’

MWFA Surplus Funds

MWFA has saved some of our funds in 2020 due to the COVID-19 disruption. As such we have received a reduction in the payment made to MWFA/FNSW/FFA and with this surplus, the committee have discussed a number of options on how to spend this money.

From this, we will disperse these funds to:

Modification to storage Area in change room

New full-size nets

Captains Arm Bands (U12+)

Plastic Net pegs

Training gear

New Corner flags

New goals for Mini-Roos

New team kits bags

New goalie shirts

3 Pittwater Marquees (2-4 m x 4m, 1-4m x 8m)

Replacement subs benches

Coffee machine & Bain Marie trolleys

Hot Dog Machine

Below is a guide to the last couple of weeks of the season (if you have any questions – please contact your age co-ordinator)
