Newbury - a few more people are interested, we need to know the important positions and there job descriptions.

07/102 GENERAL BUSINESS
1. Next Wednesday we will be having a meeting with the FDC's that have U14 girls teams as many of them have written to us about the competition.
Discussion ensued.
They must be reminded that they applied to be Female Development Clubs and it is all about developing the girls.
We need to get David to go to the clubs that seem to be struggling and see what we can do to help them.
Can we look at a re grade - it would still be the same.
If we re grade we would need to be very careful because other age groups some have big scores as well
We could bring in a mercy rule that the score stops at 9
Quakers Hill Junior held a girls skills night last Monday with girls from FNSW and some of our 1st grade girls went out as well as Don our coach
Don is willing to open his training sessions on a Tuesday night so the coaches can come along
Education is the big thing and it is not a given right that they are FDC they did apply
To be one we hope one day that all clubs will have girl teams.

Meeting closed
