VOLUNTEER LEVY REFUND

The following tasks require volunteer assistance from Club members and provides a way for you to earn a refund of the $50 Volunteer Levy (in return for 5 or more volunteer hours) paid at sign-on.

Note that if it suits, some of these tasks can be done during school hours at the Club. The Club is open between 9am and 11am every Thursday or access to the Club can be provided for other times.

Pub Raffles

Volunteers are needed to assist with pub raffles on ANY of our rostered Friday nights at the Samford Hotel. It is not a commitment to do all rostered nights. We have been allocated the following Friday nights:

7 May
28 May

18 June
9 July

30 July
20 August

10 September
1 October

Each raffle needs about 2-4 people for a couple of hours (~5–7pm) and it is fairly straight forward. Tickets are easy to sell, everything will be ready at the pub, instructions are simple and you can enjoy a couple of drinks in between.

Roster will be on a first-in basis. If you are able to assist, could you please contact Kevin Manderson to register your name, contact number and preferred date.

Canteen

Assistance with serving in the canteen on Saturday mornings, or cooking sausages on the BBQ at Tuesday night training or on the week-end, are great ways to work your volunteer hours while your kids are on the park. Please show-up at the canteen at these times if you can help.

Trophy Day

The job of ordering and taking delivery of the trophies at the end of the season Trophy Day is managed by Simon Newman however the job of organising any other forms of entertainment for the kids is where volunteers are required.

Different ideas have been implemented over the years including rides, stands and round-robin football competitions. Basically this year's volunteers are encouraged to use their imagination and go for it! Please contact Mark Halle (Squirts - U10) or Gerard Roborg-Sondergaard (u11-16) if you would like to be involved.

Facilities/Grounds

There are always general maintenance and clean-up jobs to be done around the club. Please contact our Facilities Director, Mick Phillips, if you can assist.

Fundraising

The club is always looking for ways to raise more funds for the club. If you can assist with organising fundraising events or submitting grant applications then please contact Mike Clahsen.

First Aid Coordinator (filled thanks to Mandy Salisbury & James Harvey)

A first aid kit can be found on the bar in the clubhouse and injury ice packs in the freezer behind the bar. Both of these need to be routinely checked and replenished when necessary.

An annual first-aid awareness course for all coaches and managers also needs to be organised. Please contact Mike Clahsen if you can assist.

Match Day Preparation

Every Thursday, a number of small routine jobs need to be performed to ensure that the club is ready for the week-end's upcoming home fixtures including:

Pump-up any flat match balls in the referee's room
Ensure the all of the alternate strips are behind the bar
Ensure the book of insurance checklists is in the referee's room and completed sheets from the previous week-end are filed
Collect match sheets from the slot in the front wall (facing Richards Rd) of the clubhouse and file

This would usually take about 30 minutes to complete and would be ideal for a parent whose child trains on a Thursday night or can make it down to the club on Thursday mornings. Please contact Mike Clahsen if you can assist.
