Annual General Meeting
Hi all
I haven’t received any feedback on the proposal for the new Executive structure, and despite it being good in theory I suppose it is matter of whether or not it suits the needs and requirements of KSFC for the 2010 season and beyond. The implementation of the new structure will also strongly depend on whether parents within our Club are able to commit themselves to being on the Executive in a role that best suits their ability and interest plus meets their time constraints.
The Annual General Meeting (AGM) is scheduled for this Friday 6 November 2009 from 7pm at Nesbitt Park Clubhouse, with the meeting lasting approximately one (1) hour and it will be followed by some light refreshments. This is the forum for electing the new committee, and with this date fast approaching I am sending this email to raise awareness of the importance of this date for the future of KSFC and the need for those interested people to make themselves available to attend if possible.
I have attached the proposed committee structure and the related position descriptions for those people interested in being involved for the first time, which gives you an indication of what the position will entail. I hope the positions don’t look too daunting, but from my experience on the KSFC Executive I can assure you that the committee has always provided training and ongoing support to any new Executive member to ensure that their volunteer experience remains positive and enjoyable.
Alternatively, for anyone that is interested in being a part of the 2010 committee that can’t attend on 06 November 2009 it will be necessary to forward an expression of interest to the Club’s Secretary (Barry Bourke) so that your successful nomination for a committee position can be ratified at the AGM. This may be sent by mail or email to Barry, and it would be preferred if you nominate which position you are interested in nominating for.
I wish to confirm that I will not be nominating for any positions in the 2010 season due to study commitments. I am very disappointed about this because of the enjoyment and satisfaction I have obtained during my involvement with KSFC, plus the knowledge that there are some exciting projects that are in place which will have the potential to significantly benefit the Club’s ongoing development. Regrettably I won’t be able to attend the AGM due to being absent on a pre-planned family holiday, however I will formally acknowledge my position at the AGM through a letter.
I wish to take this opportunity to firstly thank everyone involved in committees during my tenure for their ongoing support and the professionalism that I would normally associate with paid employment. I immensely enjoyed working on the Executive – it was a life changing experience for me. Secondly, I would like to congratulate the new parents who take up the challenge of committee work for KSFC. The way our Club operates is a credit to the people involved and I’m sure the new committee will continue to provide the leadership and support required to maintain the future growth that our community is currently experiencing.
I will endeavour to play a part in helping the Club in years to come and I look forward to my involvement with KSFC in the 2010 season as a over 35 player.
Yours in football

Grand Finalists
Congratulations to all of the seven teams (10D, 11H, 12C Girls, 15C, 16B Girls, 18A & All Age O) that participated in the grand finals over the weekend.
There were some exciting games played with four of the seven teams finishing with a penalty shoot out. I am sure that the teams enjoyed their finals experience and will learn a great deal towards achieving similar results in the 2010 season.
Well done to the U18A team who ended up being undefeated Minor & Major premiers.
We look forward to celebrating the achievements of all teams at the Club’s presentation day on Sunday 27 September 2009.

There will be 5 matches on Saturday and 4 matches on Sunday. The schedule for the days is available here and it looks like there should be some good quality football being played.
This is an opportunity for the Club to showcase our great park and facilities whilst raising valuable money towards the canteen and lighting projects.
We are required to supply a couple of duty officers for each game and we will need some people to assist with running the canteen and BBQ.
If you are interested and able to volunteer some time to assist on these dates we would appreciate your support. If you can spare some time could you please contact Jason (ph: 0431012187) or Barry (ph: 0413128456).

Returning equipment for 2009
The 2009 season is quickly drawing to a close, although we have several competition teams that will be featuring in the 2009 Finals Series.
At the completion of this season the collection of all equipment used by Kotara South teams enables our Club to protect the Club’s resources during the off season and identify what equipment is required for the 2010 season.
It would greatly assist the Club if you could return all of the equipment allocated to your team on the following days.
Firstly, at Nesbitt Park between 5-6pm on Monday 24/08/09. Additionally you can return it at Nesbitt Park on Saturday 5th September and Sunday 6th September 2009 when the Kotara South Football Club are hosting Finals games.
When dropping off the equipment we request that you speak to Jason Holt, Geoff Mellon or myself so that your teams equipment can be marked as being returned.
To the teams that require their equipment beyond this time it would be appreciated if you could return the gear at the Club’s presentation day on 27th September 2009.
If you have any questions or would like to arrange an alternate day to return the gear please contact me by phone 0418677722.
The Executive would also like to take this opportunity to thank you for your contribution as coach/manager of a team at Kotara South FC in the 2009 season. We appreciate the time and effort that you have put in to make the football season enjoyable and successful for the kids whilst providing a valuable service to the Club.
Also, to all the teams participating in the Finals Series we wish you all the best to you and the team.
Kind regards,

Feedback on the executive structure for the Kotara South FC & expressions of interest
Hi all,
At the August monthly meeting held on Friday 31/07/09 we discussed an important issue regarding volunteers and the structure of Executive (committee) of the Kotara South FC for the 2010 season and beyond.
It was discussed that in terms of the size of Kotara South FC we have expanded considerably over the last three (3) years, however we have not had a change in the number of volunteers and the roles that are required to manage the Club effectively. This has been very noticeable since the inception of Small Sided Football and this year with the Club using 2 fields on to cater for the amount of teams, which has placed a very large burden of the small and dedicated group of volunteers at our Club.
A new structure of the committee was discussed at the meeting with a view to increasing the size of the committee. A copy of the proposed structure can be found here in pdf format.
It is proposed that we have smaller roles on the committee that don’t place too large a burden on people’s time, whilst still allowing people to assist the Club to operate more effectively. We are circulating this information to provide all members and their families with an opportunity to express their views about the potential changes and to express an interest in future positions that you may feel you could contribute towards and assist the Club’s growth.
It was discussed and agreed that this change is required to deal with the current amount of players registered. It was also discussed that a failure to recruit adequate assistance on the committee for the 2010 season and beyond may require a re-assessment of the amount of players that we register at Kotara South FC in future seasons, which gives you an indication of the seriousness of this issue.
The committee are working very hard towards improving the facilities and resources at the Club, but inevitably it is the support of parents within our Club and our community that will help to provide our kids with a local Club that we are all proud of and enjoy playing for.
Your feedback on the new model would be greatly appreciated, and if you are interested in helping out on the committee we would love to hear from you.
From my experience with the Club I can say that volunteering has been a very rewarding experience and it has provided not only an opportunity to spend quality time with my children but also has lead to developing long lasting friendships with some quality individuals.
Please direct your feedback on the proposed model and any inquiries about volunteering to me by the contact form or phone 0431012187.
Kind regards,
Jason Holt,
On behalf of the KSFC

Reminder: "Smoke Free Grounds" Port Stephens Council
The following was announced in the Examiner (Port Stephens), so all Clubs should make their members aware of the situation and be prepared if the Council applies any fines to individuals.
From July 1, all sporting fields in Port Stephens will be smoke free.
Council adopted a Smoke Free Outdoor Policy in December 2008 for children’s playgrounds, alfresco dining areas and beaches, as well as parks and reserves. The smoking ban has been introduced in stages, starting with children’s playgrounds and from July sporting fields will be added to the list.
All five sports councils in Port Stephens have endorsed the smoke free policy.
No smoking signs will be placed around sporting fields commencing this July.
