Farewell Gathering with PETER WOOD

Message from our President Ross Nielson:

Most people are probably aware that one of our longest serving members, Peter Wood, has not been in the best of health lately.

I visited Peter last Saturday night at his new “home” of the Knox Palliative Care facility. This is located on the old drive-in theatre site, on the corner of the Mountain Highway and Boronia Roads, Wantirna.

Peter and I spent a long time simply talking together about things in general, although obviously baseball matters, and in particular his beloved Waverley Baseball Club, were high on the agenda. However as he faces only a very short time left on this earth, he asked me to pass on an invitation to everyone.

Next Friday the 22nd of August, Peter has arranged for a final get together with his many friends from the Waverley RSL and the Waverley Baseball Club. This gathering will be held at the RSL in Coleman Parade, Glen Waverley, commencing at 5.00pm.

Therefore I urge everyone who can get there, to come along and at least show some support to Peter, and some thanks for his many years of dedication to the Waverley Baseball Club. I doubt you will get this opportunity again.

If you can’t make it this Friday, Peter is in the Eastern Wing in room 23B, and is very happy to receive visitors, as long as they are small in numbers and don’t stay for too long.
 
WBC AGM 2008

SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING

A Special General Meeting of WAVERLEY BASEBALL CLUB Inc. and WAVERLEY REDS Inc. is to be held at 7.30pm on Monday, 14th July 2008 at the Napier Park Clubrooms, High Street Road, Glen Waverley. This will be followed by the Annual General Meeting.

A proposal has been put forward that the financial year be changed to 30th April, which would see the complete Summer Season included in the financial year. The Summer Season is where the bulk of the income and expenses are recorded so it would be easier to get a clear sense of the Club’s finances this way.

The Annual General Meeting would still be held either in June or July subject to the completion of annual reports.

WILDCATS SHIRTS BUY-BACK

In order to reduce costs for players, the Waverley Baseball Club is introducing a new initiative whereby the club will purchase (back) from players any Waverley Wildcats shirts that are suitable for re-use and re-sale to future players. This applies to shirts purchased by players from U16's to Seniors for representative baseball. 
Value of shirts will be negotiated based on the quality, condition and "demand value" for future re-sale. In every case, the Waverley baseball Club reserves the right not to purchase a shirt if the shirt is of no value to the club or if a mutually acceptable price cannot be agreed.
Interested players should contact the club on or before Senior Presentations. 

 
PLAYING & TRAINING TIMETABLES
Especially in the lead-up to the Summer season, WBC coaches and players should all make sure that they are aware of the "TIMETABLES" for usage of diamonds etc. Coaches should arrange suitable training times with their age group coordinator, while players who need to discuss aspects of timing for training or playing should talk to the responsible coach.
PLEASE NOTE: ALL Junior Timetables MUST be ratified by Junior Director - Julie Wright.
