SAINTS GOLF DAY
Forty-two keen golfers made there way to Onewhero Golf Course for the third annual Saints golf day on Sunday. Fantastic weather made for a great day out for all with Adam Brunt’s team cleaning up the prize pool. Adam’s team won the event, got the longest drive and closest to the pin. B.J’s team came second and won the tickets to the Warriors game (thanks to John Ackland). Thank you to all the players that played and/or entered teams as well friends and family of the club and all our other guests that attended.

LIAM’S TRIAL GAME AT GLENELG
Funds raised from our golf day enabled us to help out Liam Ackland with his costs in attending his trial game with the Glenelg under 18 team. Liam had a great experience over there, was well looked after by both the club and his host and best of all did very well in the game. Liam got good feedback from the Glenelg coaching staff and apparently got better as the game went on.
Best news of all is that Liam has been invited back to the club for next season. More news on this in our next update.

PRE-SEASON TRAINING
This should probably be at the top of the newsletter. Pre-season proper commences this Sunday at The War Memorial Reserve May Road at 10am.
We have purposely held back training a little latter this year so as to get greater numbers and have a more intense pre-season.
Kempy will be sending out an email later in the week outlining his expectations for the season and in particular commitment to training. It is an area we need to improve on if we are to match with the top two teams.

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING RE TRAINING:
Everyone is to bring their own water bottle to training. With the event of swine flu the club has decided it is not hygienic to have club water bottles at training this time of year.
Bring your boots, runners and mouth guards to training. We may go for a run or use the asphalt car park for skills work if the ground is closed. Get into the habit of having your mouth guard on you they are compulsory for games.

PLAYER RECRUITMENT – SAINTS SIGNS & BANNER
We have been fortunate to pick up a few handy recruits so far but will need more players to field two full sides for round one.
To assist in recruiting the club has made up some signs, which we would like your help to place around our local community. We have 300mm x 600mm (Real Estate – Home Open Sized) and A4 sized signs. We need the larger signs placed around our area (i.e. lamp posts or community notice boards) and the A4 sized signs to be placed in your local sporting club or gym. Please let us know if you can help out with placing these signs.
We have also purchased a large banner, which will be placed, at our training ground.
Other than that, as always been on the lookout for recruits.

See you all Sunday 10am Sharp
