Fencibles will be holding an internal club base referee course over 2 nights on Monday 21st and 28th May in the Riverhills clubrooms from 6:00pm through to 8:30pm. This is a great way to get involved with your child's football progress. You can read more on the AFF web site at www.aucklandfootball.org.nz/index.php
The cost is $95 per person. Fencibles will subsidise this fully or partially dependant upon numbers. As well as accreditation to being a fully qualified AFF CBR, you will also receive an official referee's shirt, and Fencibles will provide you with a set of linesmen flags.
If you'd like to take part please drop me a line with the subject of CBR course to dmororke@gmail.com and don't forget to include your first/last names, your team name and grade. I need to know numbers by the end of the week so please drop me a line as soon as you can if you wish to attend.
Cheers
Dave

We are delighted to confirm to our members that last night the Howick Local Ward of the Auckland Council voted unanimously to proceed with the project to convert the William Green Domain to an artificial surface. This work will be undertaken at the completion of the 2012 season for delivery at the commencement of the 2013 playing season. Immediate work will commence in the planning, design consultation and consenting of the project. The committee would like to thank the Howick Ward for its consideration of this proposal and for the work they have done to research it. We would also like to personally acknowledge Max Christiansen our Vice Chairman, whose drive and vision for an East Auckland football future got this project off the ground.
In addition to this we would like to also note that the Howick Local Ward has approved additional funding for improvements to local sports fields, we will be working with them alongside other codes to ensure that improvements to the drainage of the Lloyd Elsmore Playing surfaces are part of this expenditure.
