O-Week going great
guns - We are getting heaps of names on our lists
at the O-Week table thanks to Lindsay and all the other
volunteers. We are also getting a big interest in this
weekends Have-A-Go competition for non members, and we are
going to need people to help out. It starts at 12 on Sunday
and there may be quite a crowd, so we are going to need at
least 10 members there to help run it. If you can come along
call me now on 0428 965 798 and let me know. This is a
chance to get a lot of students to give our club a go, so we
really need to put our best foot forward... Cheers, Svenn |

called or emailed Annette to let her know yet? The committee
decided to reward members who help out by giving volunteers
a free hat, belt and socks to use this season. Help the club
sign up heaps of new players and get a reward for your
trouble... |

Coaches, Scorers
and Umpires to do levels training- Anyone keen to
know more about what they are volunteering to do? The
association is offering subsidies to our club in return for
players and scorers to undergo levels training. As a club we
desperately need more people able to coach properly and
improve the quality of our training sessions and game days.
It would also be brilliant to have scorers and umpires that
are accredited as the more you know about those jobs the
easier they are. Anyone interested please hit
contact us straight away and let us know... The
association will be arranging courses pre season for us to
attend. |

and general thanks from the club... |

World Masters Games
2009 - Just in case anyone is interested, Jonesy,
T.C., Shredder and myself went down to the World Masters
Games with the Port Stephens Marlins side last week. After
much fine baseball, a few beers, way to much food (right
Jonesy?) and many aches and pains, a respectable 13th from
39 teams was achieved. Good fun had by all... |

Preso night a

- Thanks to everyone for coming along and making
Preso night a huge success. Everyone had a top evening,
heading back to the Bennett till the we hours. The costumes
were brilliant and the food went down a treat, except for
the fruit salad, which everyone seemed to dodge. No health
nuts in our club. Thanks to everyone who help organise the
night, and congratulations to Annette Poulton for winning
Clubman of the Year in 2009. Keep checking back on the web
site from time to time for any news over the off season that
may come up. Just because we are not playing baseball, does
not mean we are not working on the following year over
Summer. Plus don't forget the Surrender the Sponsor party at
the Bennett on the first round of the softball season. |

Waterford Accountants - One of the annual tasks
that happens behind the scenes each year is the club
accounts, and each year these accounts have to be audited
before they are presented to NU Sport. Waterford Accountants
at Kotara have graciously offered to audit our accounts free
of charge, and the softball clubs also, saving the club
quite a bit of money. So if you ar ein need of an
accountant, how about heading over to Waterfords and saying
thanks for helping out your club. Look for their banner,
coming soon or go to

Uni Number 3 CLOSED
!!! - I know the ground is supposedly open,
according to the Forum web site, but... I went over and had
a look and there is no way in hell we can play on the mush
that is pretending to be grass... It is only suitable for
frogs and wading birds out there in left field and the deep
tire ruts that were left by the tractor when they marked out
the infield line are an indication that even the infield is
potentially dangerous... Sorry minors, but there is just no
way we can play...

night a great success - How good was the turn out

down the throat of the locals to raise the club around $300.
Thanks again to Dave McCoy and the Bennett Hotel for
donating the raffle prize and a big thanks for everyone who
come along to watch the game and support the sponsor...

you are in and if you have any canteen duty... Remember, if
you can't do a duty, then there is no point telling your

The Good, The Bad
and The Ugly - The Good was the excellent turn out last
night at the Bennett for the Fees Offset Raffle draw. It was
a tops night and congratulations to Matty Grove for taking
home the prize of $600 worth of grog. It was a great send
off for Justin and Matt Vaske, Who made a worthy pool
team, even though they tried to introduce some very strange
'American' rules to give themselves the edge. The Bad is
that Maitland's ground is rained out. No baseball for any of
us, unless you are watching Fox Sports this morning like I
am to see the Twins V the Rays. So what's The Ugly? My hang

Umpiring and
Coaching tips nights - We have decided to
have a couple of educational evenings in the not to distant
future to teach people the basics of training methods and
the basics of umpiring. We are hoping to encourage people to
help out with training drills and also to give more people
confidence to volunteer to umpire when the official blues
can't make it. Interested? Talk to me or send me an email
and I will put you down to attend...Cheers, Svenn |

Top weekend, but 2s still not able to
get up yet... - Thanks to everyone who came
to the pub on the weekend for Anzac day. It was a top
afternoon and everyone had a great time. I will get some
photos up soon... Special thanks to the softball girls who
came along to say hi. Great to see our other half of the

Great training session at the Bennett
Hotel -
Thanks for everyone who turned up at the pub for base
running training. It was excellent to be able to train and
drink beer at the same time... I think we should have more
theory sessions like this in the future... |

Base Running Talk
TONIGHT
-
6th graders and any new members who were planning on coming
to training for the base running training tonight, go to the
Bennett hotel instead. I (Svenn) will give you all a talk on
base running so you are ready for this weekend. We can cover
heaps indoors, so don't think it will not be worth it.
Starts at 7:00pm... |

Injuries take their toll -
We have not even played yet and we have lost two players to
injury... Lindsay hill has broken her right leg and Grant
Wood has a stuffed back (Insert shaggers back joke here). Is
there anyone else who can't play this weekend? Remember you
have to CALL your coach immediately you know you can't play
and tell them. Never SMS them, you can't be sure they get an
SMS message... |

Training this
Wednesday Night is definitely ON!!! - OK, so we
missed round one, but let's all make sure we go to training
this Wednesday night and be ready for the next round.
Getting rusty is the worst thing you can do pre season, so
don't think that just because it is Easter this week no one
will need to train. We have another pitching net coming this
week so we can work with two pitchers at once now. Since
there is no games coming up it is a good week to really
throw a lot of training pitches and work on your
technique... See you all there at 7:00pm on number 3...
Remember it is ready by 7, not arrive at 7... |

Surrender the Sponsor a great night -
Even though the rain came down all day we still had a great
turn out to the Bennett last night for the surrender the
Sponsor party. Jackie was (as expected) pathetic at
attempting to scull a pint full of Vodka and Orange, but her
side of the clubs reputation was saved by Sarah who not only
downed 90% of the drink, but did it in a very respectable
time. Thank you Dave McCoy for filling my pint with frigging
Pink Champaign again... My head hurts...
Thanks heaps to Jonesy and Spot for cooking everyone's
dinner in the rain while we all stayed inside and kept warm.

Pitching machine
prompts change - Effective immediately, Friday
night batting practice is now over. Instead we have decided
to hold batting practice on the diamond before minors and
after majors, when we have a home game. This means that this
weekend we will have BP on Saturday morning at 8:00 AM and
also on Sunday Afternoon after 2nds finish. These BP
sessions are for everyone, so both Majors and Minors please
come to both sessions. The pitching machine works
brilliantly and you will get a sensational batting session
with heaps of strikes !!! |

Trial games and BP awesome -
Thanks to everyone who showed up to play in the
trial games. We now have a majority of the club paid up and
ready with uniforms for this weekend. And how good is the
new pitching machine? I'll answer that... Excellent!!!
We will be starting our friday night batting training real
soon, but also we will be getting the pitching machine out
after second grade finnish whenever we have a home game.
Minor league and Major league players are all welcome. So
minors, come along and watch some majors baseball and have a
bash with the new pitching machine this Sunday. |
