VACANCY: Clubhouse Bar Coordinators required – Can you help?

URGENTLY SEEKING CLUBHOUSE BAR VOLUNTEERS

Sadly, our beloved barman extraordinaire Waz stepped down about a month ago as Clubhouse Bar Manager and we are now urgently seeking a few coordinators to fill his shoes.

The clubhouse bar could be managed by multiple volunteers on a rotating, or regular shift basis. We are open to possibilities. May suit 3 -5 different people.

  • 1 person to take care of stocktake and ordering (monthly)
  • 1 person for Friday night 6pm-9.30pm;
  • 2 people to cover for Saturday 12pm-4.30pm and 4.30pm to late;
  • 1 person for Sunday 11.15-5.15pm or earlier;
  • Clubhouse cleaning crew.

Bonus points if you have an RSA, it’s ideal, but not a deal-breaker.

The Tigerstix bar is an important social aspect for our club, the more successful and profitable it is, the more it helps to fund initiatives for our club. We’d appreciate your support to make it the best watering hole in town!

More information on the proposed roles can be found here CLUBHOUSE BAR ROLES 2021 MID SEASON.

PLEASE NOTE: There are still other committee positions that remain vacant. Please consider putting your hand up if you can assist with any of the following;

  • Social co-ordinator (organising fun social events and entertainment for BHL home games)
  • Newsletter co-ordinator (suit someone familiar with MailChimp)

Please contact club secretary Gail Lomas if you can manage one or more of these roles – secretary@labradorhockey.org.au.

 

 

A refreshed beginning for BHL1 2021

7 May 2021

I would like to inform you that Darren “Chook” Fowler has resigned from his post as BHL 1 coach for the Labrador Tigerstix, effective immediately.  Chook has recently taken on a new job in Brisbane and has now moved back to live in Brisbane, the combination of work hours and travel has diminished his ability to commit enough time to our BHL program.

I would like to thank Chook for all the work he has done for this group of players, bringing success with the club’s inaugural BHL premiership in 2019 and backing it up with another premiership in 2020.  Chook’s commitment to our club and players will continue as he will continue to sit on the GCHMG board as a Labrador representative and continue to assist where required in our junior/senior programs.

Welcome back to Simon Martin.

I have had discussions with the BHL players along with managers and coaching staff over the last week and after those discussions we are pleased to announce that Simon Martin will step into the role of BHL 1 coach for the remainder of the 2021 season.

Simon has formerly held this role prior to Chooks tenure and has recently been coach of our Div 1 men’s side in the local GCHA competition.  Simon will begin his new role effective immediately and I can confirm he has the full support of the club executive and playing group, as they focus on defending their title and aim to bring the club a third consecutive BHL premiership.

An expression of interest is now open to find a coach for our Div 1 men’s side.  All applications should be addressed to Brent Livermore at coachingdirector@labradorhockey.org.au.

Labrador Tigerstix vs. Victorian Institute of Sport

Hockey Special Event

Come down to watch this special event match between Labrador Tigerstix BHL and the Victorian Institute of Sport, coached by ex Kookaburra; Jay Stacy.

Perhaps one of the greatest Kookaburras of all time, Jay Stacy represented his country on 321 occasions and scored 172 goals for the Kookaburras. He represented Australia at no less than four summer Olympics, medalling in three of the four times he was part of the Kookaburras line-up, including a silver medal at the ’92 Barcelona Olympics.

In 1999 Jay was part of the Kookaburras squad that won gold in the Champions trophy, and in that same year he was announced the FIH international player of the year. This capped-off a tremendous year for a player who was truly deserving of these accolades based on his performances.

His team will take on the #Stix – with our own dance card of ex. Kookaburras including Dylan Wotherspoon, Labrador’s ex Kookaburra of 90 matches and 31 goals for Australia.

This will be a great event for our juniors and seniors to come and watch for skill, structure and enjoyment!

Tigerstix Bar will be open & please let us know if you can help out volunteering at the BBQ.
