Newcastle Permanent Referee Recognition Week

post

Northern NSW Football (NNSWF) in partnership with its Community Football partner, Newcastle Permanent Building Society (NPBS), will launch its annual Newcastle Permanent Referee Recognition Week for 2018 on Monday 23rd July until Sunday 29th July 2018.

Newcastle Permanent Referee Recognition Week provides the football community the chance to show its appreciation of referees and match officials and demonstrate they are valued members of the football family, respected by players, coaches and supporters alike.

Throughout the week, NNSWF and Newcastle Permanent will share stories of Referees and Match Officials from across the region, imparting their journeys and experiences of officiating in football.

NNSWF Community Football Manager, Pete Haynes points out that Match Officials are the backbone of football.

“Officiating a match is often a thankless task, however, match officials are vital to the game ensuring consistency, fair play and safety, in turn creating enjoyment for players, coaches and spectators,” Haynes said.

On match days, clubs are encouraged to thank each of the referees and show their appreciation of their hard work.

Newcastle Permanent CEO Terry Millett acknowledged the vital role of referees and match officials in community football.

“Through Newcastle Permanent Referee Recognition Week we are able to recognise the important role referees play in reinforcing a culture of fair play and respect on the field. We would like to thank all referees across Northern NSW for their contributions to the game and congratulate them on their commitment and dedication to the game.”

Further to Referee Recognition Week, Newcastle Permanent supports match officials through its Community Award Program where it recognises a Community Referee of the Month across each of Northern NSW Football’s seven Member Zones. This program also recognises volunteers and coaches, along with a Club of The Month.

Cadbury Fundraiser Ending Round 12, 28th July 2018

post

The Belmont FC committee would like to thank everyone for their efforts who have participated in the Cadbury Chocolate Fundraiser. Funds raised will go towards new gear for the players and equipment for the clubhouse.

Final collection of money envelopes will be at the canteen during Round 12 on Saturday 28th July 2018. You can drop off your money on earlier gamedays if you like at the canteen.

Please make sure that your details are clearly filled out on the envelope so that we can tick you off the list. Each envelope returned gets a chance in the draw for the fantastic prize of a signed Jets jersey.

We still have boxes to sell which can be picked up from the canteen.

If you have been unable to sell all of your chocolates then please return the envelope with the money collected and hand the unsold chocolates in to the canteen at the same time.

Good Luck and thank you for helping out our wonderful club!!

Closing the Gate

post

It is the responsibility of whoever is last to leave to shut the car park gate each afternoon/evening. It has been left open a number of times recently and we believe that it has been done through people simply not knowing, rather than being lazy.

Please let everyone know that if you are the last from Belmont FC to leave, then shut the gate. If others happen to be parked inside the gate and are using the playground, please take the time to ask them to move their car(s) so that you can close up.

Urgent Help Needed

post

We need someone to help out with marking the lines at Marks Oval on Thursday. If you are able to help, please contact Darren Hughes on 0419 435 691.

The volunteer that usually marks the lines for us has hurt his hand and is not able to do it but he has said that he will attend while it is done to advise on how to do it.

 

Thinking of playing next year?

post

While Belmont FC has been enjoying a successful season on many levels, we would like to have even more people join in the fun next year. When choosing a club to represent, remember that Belmont FC have not had one washed out round so far this season as our grounds have help up much better than most and are currently in great shape. We also have lower registration costs compared to many other clubs.

For the older player, please contact the Committee if you have interest in joining our club and joining or forming a Women’s All Age team or an additional Over 35 Men’s team. This season we had interest in these teams but didn’t quite have enough players to get them on the field so we have decided to start the recruitment early in preparation for next season. We will also be happy for additional All Age teams to join us next near during registration.

For the younger players, we are always looking to create more teams. If we don’t get numbers to create an additional team in an age group there is still the opportunity to be added into a team as we have many teams that could do with an extra player or two.

Belmont FC hate seeing players miss the opportunity to take the field at any age group or level and will help out however we can to try to get players on the field.

Ground Safety

post

We have had council out to repair two sections of the irrigation system on Ground 1. Both sections are on the RooBall end and are softer than the rest of the ground due to moisture. Please be careful if you are training near these two areas while the ground dries out.
