QLD VETS NEWS
 
 Edition 2 April 2009
 
 
URGENT UPDATE
 
The Over 35 State Championships will now NOT be held in Townsville over the May Long Weekend.  As Mackay is the only centre outside  SE Qld who is fielding a team in this division, it did not make sense to ask all the centres from SE Qld to travel to Townsville to play each other.
 
The Over 35 State Championships will now be played on the Gold Coast (Labrador) on the weekend of 9/10 May. Games will start midday Sat 9 May.

COACHES & MANAGERS
NOMINATIONS 2009
 
As advised in the previous newsletter nominations for coaches and managers of Qld teams in 2009 are now being accepted.  Many people have already sent expressions of interest so if you are interested in these positions send a letter outlining your experience and qualifications to
 
 
We all know how vitally important these positions are in each team and if we get enough expressions of interest  from  players/supporters it will avoid last minute selections or as in some cases in previous years no selection at all.
 
Due Date:   As for Player Nominations.
 
 
NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS MELBOURNE 2009
 
These will be held from 26 Sept to 10 Oct.  The championships will not be held at the State Hockey Centre but at two suburban centres.  The accommodation for the Qld teams has been tentatively booked and organised.  It is expected that cost will be around $60 per person per night. To see links to the accommodation please visit the "EVENTS" page on the website. 
 
 
UNIFORMS
 
As many of you will be aware, this year we will have complete new uniforms.  It has been 3 years since we have changed the uniform - uniforms were due to change last year but because of the additional expense of travelling to Darwin it was decided to delay the costs of uniforms until 2009.  It looks as thought the 2010 championships will be in West Australia so again it will be an expensive trip.
 
The ordering forms will be on line with payment being made as far as possible directly into the Qld Vets Account.  Watch the website for more information as it becomes available when the Qld teams for 2009 have been announced.
