Great Night Out
Approximately 150 attended the 2013 Dinner and Awards night including major sponsors, life members, trophy donors and invited guests.
The Cygnet Football Club Board of Management Chairman Brett Direen thanked the attendees as well as the volunteers and supporters for their dedication throughout the 2013 season.
Brett acknowledged the help of the devoted team who have made this night a huge success with a special thankyou to Brigid Wilcox whose untiring commitment resulted in this year’s attendance.
He reviewed the season that was and congratulated the players and coaches for their effort, in particular Matt Tyrrell Seniors coach for the past three years, Mark (chopper) Bradley Reserves coach and Tyler Cowen Colt coach, he also thanks the teams support staff and various other workers at the club, Brett made comment that he did not want to name individuals as this may leave someone out and that would counterproductive.
Brett reiterated that the club needs help to make the Cygnet Football Club sustainable for the impending 2014 season; he advised that the current small nucleus of overworked volunteers need support in order to share the workload, we need new faces particular those who have played with the club in past years, raised families and now may be available to come back and help participate with others in steering the clubs direction and securing its future viability within the Cygnet Community.
We need people to put up there hand and be responsible for some small part in the weekly functions of the club, it may mean simply joining our Thursday nights catering activities, alternatively manning the Kiosk as part of a roster for home games, helping with team operations and training or simply cleaning up after a game. They are all simple tasks but when left up to a handful of individuals to manage it becomes monotonous and character depressing.
If you want your club to survive then I can’t stress with any more urgency, your club needs help or your club as you know it may not survive and if this does happen then it will not be here when your son or maybe grandson wants to play and follow in his father’s / grandfathers footsteps with this brilliant club, a club which has been the heart of the Cygnet Communities sporting activities from more than 100 years.
Supporters are reminded that the Annual General Meeting will be held at the Cygnet Football Clubrooms on Wednesday the 16th of October, supporters are encouraged to attend.
