Blues Annual General Meeting

Date:    Saturday, Nov 19, 2016
Time:    11:00 – 1:00 PM Lorenzo’s Restaurant

As per the club constitution this notice is to advice all club members, in good standing, of the 2016 Blues AGM. The board will be presenting a few changes to the existing VP positions on the board, for the upcoming 2017 year.

Remove:   VP Game
Add:         VP Men (covers U14 – Senior Men)
VP Women (covers U14 – Senior Women)
VP Minor Program (U6 – U10 flag & U12 co-ed contact)

The roles and responsibilities are the same as the VP Game, with the exception that they cover men’s, women’s and minor programs respectively.

This does not guarantee that the club will have a women’s program in 2017. However, it is an important step in that direction.
