On wet days please check the North Coast Football website North Coast Football for ground closures.

We are looking for more coaches and managers again this year; the Club offers a registration subsidy for any player who wishes to coach a team. The Club also offers to pay for their coaches to obtain their coaching certificates.

This year each competition team is requested to provide a representative to attend the Club meeting which is held on the 4^th Wednesday of each month in the meeting room at MacLean Street Oval at 5.30pm and ending no later than 7.30pm. It is important for you to attend so that you can have input into the running of the club. Our AGM will be held on 27^th February 2008 5.30pm at MacLean Street Oval Canteen followed by a general meeting.

Sponsorship details: Coffs Hotel are our major sponsors and give discounts on wine from their bottle shop; show your receipt at Palm Centre Butchery and they will give 10% off all meat purchases; show the discount card at Imperial Sportspower and they will give you a 5% discount all year round; Coffs Cordials will give you any stock at club prices.

We are always looking for volunteers to help with line marking, gear maintenance, canteen rosters and other jobs. Even if you can only help out once a month it is always appreciated! Or if you see someone working and you have five minutes to spare offer to help. Many hands make light work.

Please at all times remember that your coach and manager are volunteers and are giving up their time to help your children. Assist them where possible by being punctual, courteous and helpful. Organise a roster to wash the strips and help put the training gear out. Never leave a child alone after training if a parent or friend is not there to pick them up and never drop your child off unless the coach is there.

Looking forward to seeing you around the fields......Coffs City United Committee; January 2009
