23 July Summary

24/7/2016

What a fantastic day for Janelle Hall on Saturday. A huge turnout of people ignored the windy conditions to be there to support Janelle. So many people looking for ways to assist and their generosity illustrated how highly regarded Janelle is not just at our Club, but in the local community. Thanks also to the opposition players who joined the big crowd in the Clubhouse for the presentations and raffle draw. This list of people I am thanking will probably miss someone, my apologies if I have!
In the canteen Janelle was there all day of course, with her regulars Lorna Latham & Michelle Ritchie, with Loretta Woods & Tracey Forde joining the crew. Carolyn Sturgess & Kylie Vawdon were kept very busy at the bar with Stew Jenkins labouring away getting drinks from the fridges to the bar. Julia Ninness, Kerrie Yates & Deborah Morris sold a huge amount of raffle tickets. Paul Briggs kept caffeine up to the crowd, Megan Lawler with her handmade muffins, Robert Burns worked the crowd professionally(?) with the PA, Richie Pogson & Terry Sturgess for helping wherever they could during the day, especially in cleaning up the Clubhouse during the big night. The BBQ helpers all did a great job, special mention to Paul Jacob who often happily puts in long spells on the BBQ before watching his twin sons in 1st grade. Club captain Tim Warwick organised the ummm . interesting .. bad suit day - which had suitably shocking participants! Of course we have all of our other volunteers, dedicated contributors who volunteer so much time and knowledge; coaches, managers, first aiders .. while it was sort of a normal match day, along with the players they contributed hugely to what was one of the great days for the Club. Jesse Parahi took a break from his hectic pre-Olympic schedule to be there with Carlien Parahi to visit Janelle, present his 7s jersey and then stayed for a long time to draw the raffles, catch up with mates and receive very loud encouragement from the crowd for success in Rio. It was a day/night for everyone to be proud of - gotta love this Club!
Raffle winners were:
2 tickets to Bledisloe Cup lunch : Margie Sybaczynskyj
signed/framed Mariners jersey: Adam McKay
Archies thongs: Andy Hoban 
Archies thongs: Frank Latham 
Simply Sublime Voucher: Debbie Jacob

I am sure no one has forgotten that this weekend is the start of our fundraising for Janelle Hall. It commences tonight with our weekly raffles at Avoca Bowlo - be there between 5.30 & 6.30 to get your tickets in the meat, seafood and voucher raffles.
On Saturday takings from the canteen and $1 from every drink from the bar will be for Janelle. Also we will be running a raffle all day with the fantastic first prize of 2 tickets to the Bledisloe Cup Luncheon in Sydney on 19 August. Those seats are valued at $230 each, it will be a great event with Brad Thorne as the guest speaker. Big thanks to Chelsea Spindler and her Frontrow Events company for this generous donation. Other prizes include 2 pairs of Archies thongs from our sponsors East Gosford Podiatry. Another sponsor Bendigo Bank has arranged a $50 voucher at Cafe Cressa at Kincumber, and there will probably be a few extra goodies by the end of the day! Thanks to Carolyn Sturgess from Simply Sublime for a gift voucher, to Grant Pavett from Karmalogic for vouchers to see him concerning your tax returns and to Avoca Beach Markets for a signed Central Coast Mariners jersey! Your generosity is greatly appreciated. Be on the lookout for ticket sellers, and open your purses/wallets! The jerseys that have been donated will be part of ongoing fundraising, with Daniel Reihana using his IT expertise to organise on-line events for those - as well as setting something up for anyone who can't make it to The Sharkpool tomorrow and wishes to contribute to the fundraising. Stay tuned for full details. See you all there tomorrow, it is going to be BIG day!!

Janelle Hall Fundraiser

18/7/2016

This Saturday 23 July will be an important day for our Club and for one of the most respected people in our Club. By now most of you would know that our canteen manager, all-round carer to the Club, 2nd mother to a generation of players, Janelle Hall, is undergoing radiotherapy treatment and fighting hard against her illness. Even in such difficult circumstances she remains her usual strong & cheerful self, still always looking for ways to help others. Janelle has contributed in so many ways over many years to our Club and it is our turn to give something back. Starting from our Friday night raffles at the Avoca Bowlo then through game day on Saturday and after game drinks on Saturday evening, we will be fundraising for Janelle. Income from the canteen, one dollar from every drink from the bar, takings from raffles on Friday & Saturday - all will be for Janelle. How can you help? By being at the Friday raffles (from 530-630), by being at Heazlett on the 23rd and spending some money, or dropping some money in the buckets that will be at the ground. It isn't often you get the chance to give more than words of thanks to someone who has shown you kindness along the way, please don't miss this opportunity!
