October Reminders

Cavaliers Annual General Meeting - Saturday 7th November

You will all have received your official notice for the Annual General Meeting by now.
On the day, we pack up at 3:30pm and hold the meeting at the club - this makes it easy for everyone to attend.

We will have a BBQ afterwards a short walk across the road on campus - always a nice little social gathering.
Family are welcome to come to this, of course.

Anyone thinking about the position of WAFA Representative, please have a chat to Gillian as soon as possible - this is most urgent.

If there is anyone thinking about taking on the Social Secretary position, please have a chat to Gillian to find out more about the job. Possibly two members might like to share this task.

***********************************
Fees Due for September

Gillian would appreciate all September fees in as soon as possible, please, as our financial year ends with October.

Anyone who is not returning to the club, it makes it easier if you let Gillian know.

Notice of Annual General Meeting

NOTICE TO ALL MEMBERS

Annual General Meeting
Saturday 7th November, 2009 @ 3:30pm
ECU Gym, Mt Lawley

The fencing session will be held as usual until 3:30pm with the meeting between 3:30pm and 4:30pm.
Sausage Sizzle will follow from 5:00pm.

Cavaliers continues to be one of the best clubs in the State. The Club maintains a progressive outlook and strives to provide a friendly environment for both social and competitive fencers.

While the atmosphere of a comfortable social club remains the primary draw-card, we are pleased to say that our competitive spirit is picking up in both the junior and senior realms. This, alongside a concentration on coaching standards, is an area upon which we hope to build in 2010.

Of course, Cavaliers can only survive with willing support from within its own membership. We urge you to consider whether "now" is the right time for you to join our Administration Team and help keep Cavaliers as the greatest fencing club in Perth!

We hope as many of you as possible will make the time to attend the Annual General Meeting and stay on for the casual Sausage Sizzle.
