Echo Sports, Hampton Telstra Foundation Match Day sponsors Grilled Elsternwick Bakers Delight Hampton Network Video Hampton I’m pleased to confirm that Bendigo Bank, Sandringham have very kindly agreed to continue as our lead sponsor for the 2014 season, providing much needed funds to purchase new and replacement equipment. Fundraising 2013 fundraising was overshadowed by the late cancellation of our annual social night in July, due to only 40 confirmed attendees. This night is ordinarily attended by 100-180 people and typically raises $4-5,000 after costs. As a result of this income shortfall; the canteen operating cost; the one-off club wide kit replacement; and the introduction of a paid club administrator, the club had an operating loss for the year. As a committee, we are already putting steps in place to make sure that we don’t have this scenario, 2 years in a row. An active fundraising /sponsorship / grants sub-committee will be integral to this plan to ensure that any fee increases in 2014 are kept to a minimum. All that said, there were some big successes in 2013, namely the ‘Friday nights at the Club and the ‘HPS v St.Mary’s Dad’s soccer match’, which HJSC hosted for the 2nd year. The event was a great success again and raised $4,085, which was split equally across the 2 schools, Sandringham hospital and HJSC. Disciplinary In terms of FFV disciplinary this season, we managed the season without any red cards, but we did unfortunately have two isolated incidents with our teams, one of which resulted in a warning from the FFV. Priorities for 2014 Our priorities for 2014 will be guided by our core values: Enjoyment at all levels for all soccer participants Community and family orientation Open registration
