Please get along & support the Coaches & teams. They have worked hard over pre-season to get to now, so we wish the them well as they embark on a full season of football & hope that they come into the sheds at the end of the game with the chocolates. GO WOODS!
We are very fortunate to have great coaches, but we also have wonderful Trainers. Please get behind Aneeka & her team and maybe chip in & help where you can at times, with strapping or running water. Whatever you can to share the load.
To our ever supportive & wonderful sponsors, I say thank you from the bottom of my heart, how fortunate we are to have such loyal, giving people amongst our ranks. Your generosity is overwhelming & you & your business will be promoted heavily with a new sponsor wall Vicki Trevena (Sponsorship Coordinator) has organised in the club for all to see. The sponsors will also be seen throughout the season on our socials & the website. Keep supporting them family as our footy club does not run without them!
Bar Manager Ricki & her team will be seen wearing their newly introduced uniform, which will make the feel around the club a little more professional. Please support Ricki & ask if you can assist with anything if required. There is always something to be done around the place.
Michael Richardson & Rob Jones are our new BBQ Coordinators for home games, so reach out to those guys if they require help as well! The teams are required to help on canteen duty throughout the year, so keep an eye out for when it’s your turn & hopefully you’ll love it that much, you’ll want to be there more often?
We all have been working tirelessly toward this weekend & my first thanks are to the ever-committed executive committee members (for this year & 2021) who help drive the engine of the club towards the success we desire. Without naming you all, it would be lovely for the BFC family to reach a hand, maybe shout a drink & a pat on the back well done. I personally to want congratulate you all on reaching this first milestone of the year, without any major glitches so far?
With a new committee comes some changes and with those changes we have also implemented some non-negotiable which will have to be adhered to. Please read updated policies & procedures on the Blackwood Football Club Website for your convenience.
We want everyone who is part of our wonderful Football Club to be respected & acknowledged without fear, discrimination or persecution. Our respectful behaviour sends a fine message to those within and outside our club.
The club is inclusive to all ages and gender, but we are there for the one thing that makes us happy and that is to be part of the most wonderful unique game in the world, Australian Rules Football. We are also part of a big traditional club, that pride itself on excellence.
Good luck to those who will don on the Red & Green this weekend (or in the coming weekends for our SANFL Juniors & Auskick programs). Be proud, represent well & give it your all.
See you at the football.
David Richardson
President
Blackwood Football Club
