Club Incorporation

Member Questionnaire Thank you to all members who completed the Member Questionnaire. The follow- ing charts display members’ preferences for the proposed change of Club name and colour.

Change of Club Name

5% Caulfield South Netball Club 27% McKinnon Netball Club

68% Glen Eira Netball Club

Change of Club Colours

Black, Gold & White 31% 41% Navy, Gold & White

Brown & Gold 9% 19% Black, Red & White

As is evident, there was an overwhelming vote to keep the Caulfield South Net- ball Club name. The change of Club Colour was close, with the Black, Gold & White combination winning by 10%. The Committee will now be focusing on the process to incorporate the Club, which includes investigating options for a new Club uniform . We know this will take some time to research this thoroughly and we would not anticipate changes to uniforms to occur until 2009.

Fundraising

The Fundraising Committee met in April to determine the fundraising activities for the Club. All members will have now received a letter and Community Benefit Card from Ritchie’s IGA – Bentleigh East.

We encourage all members to present their card when they make any purchase at Ritchies as 1% of the money we spend is automatically allocated to CSNC.

There is no limit to the amount CSNC can receive through the Ritchies Community Benefit Card program. The more members shop at Ritchies, the greater the size of the donation that Ritchies will give the Club each month.
