Belconnen Cats Junior AFL Club - Notice of 2024 AGM
Hi Cats Community,
Please be advised that the Annual General Meeting will be held:
Date: Tuesday, 5 November 2024.
Time: 7pm
Venue : McKellar Soccer Cub (upstairs boardroom), 5 Walkley Pl
Appointment of 2025 Belconnen Cats Committee
It's that time of year again when footy is over but we ask for you to think about contributing to our club for next season!
At Belconnen Cats, we are a club that is about community and providing a nurturing environment for our children to play AFL. Without Coaches and Managers we can’t field teams for your children to play in. But just as importantly, without a committee to administer the club we can’t provide an environment for Cats Junior AFL to exist.
Our current committee has a number of parents who have been contributing for many years, but their children are getting older and are moving on. It’s time for new volunteers to ensure our wonderful club can continue to support our amazing families.
To fill the gap of departing committee members and fulfil all our obligations, we need more of our Cats community to step up. Recently departed Committee members were responsible for a number of important roles and tasks that we would like to share amongst a greater pool of people. Jobs like managing the website/social media, player registrations and a fundraising coordinator to help with BBQs and the like are all needed.
Auskick coordinators are needed as those currently responsible have kids moving into the higher grades. We would love to see more of our younger Cats families step into roles and provide input to the future of Belconnen Cats.
​
For 2025, incentives provided for committee participation will include a reimbursement of your first child’s registration.
​
Please come along and get involved with the running of our club either at an executive level or on the general committee. All current and past committee members started with no experience except for a love of the game, the desire to assist their children participate in football at the Belconnen Cats and to support the local community.
​
All committee positions are on a voluntary basis. If you have ideas and suggestions on how the club can provide the best possible environment for junior football, then now is the time
for you to step forward. You can find more information on position roles and responsibilities here https://www.belconnencatsafl.com.au/
If you cannot attend the AGM but would like to have your say, you can also appoint a proxy for the purposes of voting at the meeting. Please email the secretary Leigh Merrington at secretary@belconnencatsafl.com.au , to ask about this process or refer to the club website for forms.
For all enquiries including the agenda, proxy voting and committee nomination forms please contact 2024 Belconnen Cats Junior AFL Club Secretary, Leigh Merrington at secretary@belconnencatsafl.com.au or refer to the club website.
We are looking forward to many interested members attending and also new people joining the committee for a successful 2025 season.

President
