[2 Fortnights : 17thOct ~ 15th Nov  2002]                     Edition 5/2002

 

Hi TVC members

This update covers the last two fortnights.   The editor is still looking for some help !

 

House-keeping

With so much on I have not been able to make further progress on the club’s constitution beyond a rudimentary draft.  Hence the date for an ISGM for the club (election of committee and ratification of constitution) is still to be confirmed by notice and at this rate will probably now only happen late January.  The Interim committee, however, will have a meeting within the week. 

 

Farewell to Members

A fond farewell goes out to Georg Molterer and Kristian Enstrom (B Th) who return to their respective home countries in Europe.  Also Paul Phiri (B Th) may be returning to Zimbabwe.  Thank you for your part in Blue Thunder.  You have been instrumental in helping turn the team’s results around. It is a pity you could not be around for the finals.  Blue Thunder, and the club, will miss you guys – you will have to come back again sometime.

For results archive, see the Toowoomba Volleyball Association’s webpage at www.oocities.org/twbva .  You can also find the current standings in the pools (via the top menu). And don’t forget to vote on the web poll for the winning teams ……!!

Forthcoming matches

These may be checked out on the TVA website at www.oocities.org/twbva .  Well done to Thunder 1 (2) and Flames (4, nearly 3) in making the semi’s and it looks like Typhoons, Blue Thunder and Lightning will tough it out for the Plate event.

 

Social Calendar

Make a team for the Social Mixed Fun (Hawks) tournament Sunday 24/11 (1100h – 1630h) which includes a BBQ lunch.  There will be a serious section and a social section.  $10 each is great value as it includes a hamburger and there will be many fun prizes along the way.  It will be a great day!  Each team must have at least 2 ladies.  So make your team and get nominations in to the Norman’s by Friday.

 

The TVA End of Year Function is scheduled for Friday 29/9. (See the TVA website for more info.)  Not only will the Association be awarding team trophies and individual awards, but it will also be where clubs will give their own awards !  TVC will have some awards to present.  So organize a team table !  It will be great fun ……… Let’s party !!

 

TVC Training

The next TVC volleyball club training will be this Saturday (26/10) 3-5pm at HSHS at $2 each.  Numbers could be larger as up to now the club has subsidized the last few.  If you want better results become better. Once again, as this is an area that our teams need most work, service receipt and defense will be the focus of this session along with court movement.

 

Lets’ take all the trophies (- so support as many of the other TVC teams that you can).  Let’s Rumble !!!
