Mixed Start to the Season.
Introduction & Welcome
Welcome to all players, families, officials, volunteers, sponsors and supporters.
Mixed results have been the order of the day over the first rounds of football
so far this season. The Seniors sides are now showing promise after an interrupted
RUSSO PAVING April, the Youth Girls are improving every week, and all Junior teams are competing
& Wayne Nott admirably. We’ve been advised by the Australian Sports Foundation that the Lights
Project will gain tax deductibility status. Also, we are planning a Club BBQ fundraiser
on Sunday June 13th, featuring a lap-a-thon challenge. Also, Werribee FC is hosting
a Multicultural Day at Avalon Airport Oval this Friday 21st May (see flyer).
Some teams are still looking volunteers. Contact your Team Managers.
In this issue, I’ll provide a snapshot summary of footy results, provide a 2010 fixture,
and update you on ground conditions, site access and key dates.
Statewide Water Thanks to all our volunteers and sponsors (list now updated) for 2010.
Cartage Keep working towards those common goals on and off the field. Go Warriors!
(Statewide Labour Hire) From our President, Adrian Lipscombe:
Club Unity, Direction and Goals.
So often when Clubs expand, the lines of communication are blurred and the overall direction of
the Club is not as visible to members as it should be.
We aim to identify who we are, why we are here, what we stand for and where are we going in
our Club’s direction.
As Club President, it is my duty to ensure that our direction is visible, promoted and that all
Albion Hotel members are engaged.
Our 11 football teams and 2 cricket teams that we put on the park each week are at the core of
any direction the Club takes.
As a volunteer and amateur Club, the Committee will provide all members the resources to
From the President
promote and achieve:
• Enjoyment;
• Player development and Progression
• Success both on and off the field;
• Stability;
• Commitment;
• Passion;
• Discipline and respect;
• Integration between all age groups;
• Structure;
• Progression to higher standards in all areas.
Wyndham Denture Our Club is always going to be in a constant state of change. People come and go depending on
their circumstances in life. All members have a responsibility of ensuring the culture that is
Clinic
generated aims to meet the overall direction of the Club towards its ultimate aim of delivering its
mission and realising its vision.
Patten Pavement On behalf of the Committee I would like to congratulate all the teams on their efforts so far, and
Services wish them the best of success for the rest of season. Thankyou everyone once again for your
time and support.
Yours in Football.

It is a great opportunity for all teams to mix together with a common goal of raising
funds for the Club lights project.
A feature of the afternoon (and useful training session) will be the “Lap-a-thon”,
where all players are encouraged to obtain sponsorship to run as many laps as they
can (or sponsor someone – per lap – to do it for you). A goal kick challenge and mini

Please note that all players should be wearing mouthguards during

mouth/teeth injuries if they’re not wearing mouthguards.
Mouthguards should ideally be professionally fitted,

OLD FOOTY BOOTS
Statewide Water
Hey mums and players! Have you gotten too big for your boots?
Cartage
(Statewide Labour Hire) Well, don’t leave those small footy boots at home gathering dust,
and never throw them away if they’re in good condition.
Why not bring them into the Club on training days and offer them
for ‘cheap’ sale or as a giveaway to a smaller Old Westbourne
player who could use them for 2010? This is a great way to get
those boots back where they belong……on the footy field!

Ground report:
The two main ovals are in fantastic shape, clearly better shape at this time of year
than the past few years.
We thank all teams for their patience and understanding during the re-
Ground Report
seeding program. We now have many teams wishing to use the one lit
Colledge (East) oval over the 5 week days. This will inevitably result in
some overlap of training sessions. All teams should be respectful of others
and we trust that the respective coaches can work together for this short
Wyndham Denture term inconvenience, and arrange training drills accordingly, until the lights
Clinic are installed on the Williams (West) oval.
Our special thanks to Graeme Clark of “Statewide Water Cartage” for his assistance and
generous rates for services offered to the Club and school over the summer period. Statewide

coach is that all the players have improved individually as well
as improving each week as a team. All we need now is for our

with a wet sail against North Footscray to fall 9 points short, Outscored by Deer Park 5
goals to 4 in the second half on the weekend, plus 2 wins.

RUSSO PAVING
& Wayne Nott Liquor Licence, Membership Tickets & RSA Course
Our liquor licence was granted on May 3 & includes conditions that were generally
expected.
It is good from both the social & fundraising aspects for the club to have the
renewable limited licence as it lawfully allows us to sell liquor to members & guests
for consumption on the premises.
Statewide Water
Cartage Briefly the conditions/ limitations include:
(Statewide Labour Hire) a) Days & hours
We can only trade on 4 days of the week, Thu to Sun.
There are specific hours for each of those 4 days & we must adhere to
those.
b) Amenity
We are not to cause or permit undue detriment to the amenity of the
area during or immediately after trading hours. This refers primarily to
noise & includes music/ entertainment noise levels, which are set by a
Albion Hotel State Environment Protection Policy, from any function as well as traffic,
etc when leaving the school site.
c) Special Condition
No liquor is to be supplied during, or for 30 minutes after, any match or
training session involving persons under 18 years of age.
The licence does allow the club to hold pre-booked non-member functions (if it so
decides) but again only within the days & hours specified.
The licence also has a Section 120(2)(e) Approval:— Persons under the age of 18
years are permitted on the licensed club premises other than in the company of a
responsible adult in relation to preparation for and participation in sporting events
only during the trading hours (as specified in the licence). This approval does not
include social activities but does include presentation functions.
The licence has an accompanying endorsed plan which defines the licensed area
Wyndham Denture outlined in red. It is the area contained within the walls upstairs of the Andrew Park
Clinic Pavilion.
Patten Pavement As well as the conditions of the licence the club still has to comply with the policies
Services set by our applicable leagues. These are:
* For WRFL junior games— No alcohol to be consumed during or between junior
games.
MAIN ARTERY * For VAFA games—No alcohol to be consumed until after completion of the last
game on the day. The only exception is for sit down luncheons between the hours of
noon & 2 pm & subject to prior VAFA consent.

(Laverton) Liquor Licence (cont’d)
Some repercussions from the licence are:
* We need to ensure we strictly comply with the licence & alcohol consumption
regulations as the licence has to be renewed each 12 months, (expiry Dec 31 each
year), & we do not want any reported “incidents”. Also we have a duty of care to our
members & to further develop & maintain our family friendly culture.
* “Incident” could be excessive alcohol, under age persons, noise during &/or after
RUSSO PAVING functions, etc. Note: Good Sports ask for all incidents, regardless of whether
& Wayne Nott alcohol related or not, to be listed in the Incident Register.
* We can only serve & sell to members & their guests for consumption on the
premises. That means there is no take-away & no “travellers”.
* “On premise” is the area within the walls upstairs (the licensed area) so no drinks
are to be taken outside on the balconies.
Note: Penalty notices are displayed at the Bar & currently range from over $6,000
