AGM Meeting

To continue growing the club into 2018 we are going to need some new committee members, and to have people to help out in general with basketball admin and fundraising.

Several of our current committee do not have children playing in our rep teams, or have children who will be leaving St Bede's at the end of the year and we need to encourage parents of younger players to get involved to provide a transition.

If you want to help the basketball club to continue to support the sport at St Bede’s please let us know and get involved.

We particularly need help planning our biggest fundraiser of the year which is a Bingo Night in May. We have held this event before so have the resources but need a team to make it happen.

Basketball Club AGM will be Tuesday, 27 February at 6.00pm in the Staffroom at the College.

For further information please contact Ali Hughes on howard.ali@xtra.co.nz or 021 764 553.
