Are you playing Bendigo?

Eric Orton — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 17:16:44 +1100

Gus has informed me that if you're planning to play at the Bendigo tournament with us he will need to see you tomorrow night to confirm your participation. Apparently the tournament is filling fast and we've been told that if we don't confirm our entries by tomorrow night we're out of luck. In case you're searching for incentive to go, I'll be there. What more could you want?

For those who have forgotten, the Bendigo Tournament is on the weekend of the 1st/2nd November.

Setting up for presentation night

Jessica McMillan — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 16:39:03 +1000

Hi everyone,

Rosemary & I visited the Redback last night.
We have included one free drink for all guests upon arrival (beer, wine or soft drink).

We have asked for a discount on jugs of beer (heavy & premium) - we cannot get discounts on pots/pints.

We are able to set up on Friday night (saturday morning is not ideal as we cannot get inside until 11am - which does not leave much time before we need to head to the stadium). If everyone who wants to join in can come along around 6-6.30 that would be great. Roxy will bring along decorations. The karaoke machine/PA system/music box will arrive on Saturday.

Can someone ask around the boys teams tonight to find out if anyone has any dietary requirements (vegetarian etc) and let me know ASAP.

Trophies/glasses will probably be set up Saturday night at 6.30. I'll be there to collect money off those that have yet to pay.

Due to the addition of the free drink, and paying for security & other incidental costs, we may go over budget. I'll buy a bottle of alcohol to toss the coin at, and Rosemary will make up the square game (buy a number for $2 - one of the numbers corresponds to $50 which the winner wins). Hopefully money raised can cover our extra costs.

Is that all??

Catch ya all friday/saturday,

Jess

Pres nite karaokenannigans

Jesse — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 17:43:14 +1000

G'day fellas.
.
After discussion with Rose and Jess, looks like there is room in the pres nite budget for a karaoke machine. So we've booked one. It'll be delivered direct to the Redback on Sat morning.
.
By the end of the night I have no doubt it will have its own momentum, but to get things rolling when everyone's still relatively sober, it might be an idea to have one or more games/challenges.
.
An idea that springs to mind is: give each table/team a song and give them 15 minutes to change the words to be about volleyball or Renegades then perform it for everyone.
.
Any other ideas?
.
Incidentally, the thing doubles as a 3000-song jukebox. So we don't have to organise our own music unless we want to. Anyone who wants to however is of course welcome to.
.
Cheers
Jesse

Presentation night meeting.

Jared Winton — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 16:09:07 +1000

It would probably be a good idea to meet up before presentation is on us to make sure everything that needs to be done for presentation night is done. I propose to meet up at Dandenong either before or after the Mens honours guys play, or we can all meet at the pub or at my place for beers. I'll talk to Jess and see if the girls can turn up to.

PRESENTATION NIGHT

Jessica McMillan — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 09:36:43 +1000

Hey there everyone,
I hope this email actually gets to you all!

VENUE

How is this coming along? We really need to confirm it by this weekend, or the latest before the game next week so there is enough time to print tickets & spread the word.

Has anyone spoken to Eva about the places she had already rung? (Eva: eva.so@florey.edu.au)

Tables seat 8-10 people
Need to physcially look at the venue to confirm everyone will be able to see the "main stage"
Meal prices NO MORE than $45 per head (otherwise people won't come)
2 course meal with some dessert is ideal
Aiming to seat 100 people (Reds + partners)

If anyone has a good idea, speak with Tahnee, Theresa or Miles, who are currently searching out venues (hopefully). I think Rosemary had some ideas also?

Miles was also looking into possible places for an afterparty - probably best to wait till we know where the venue will be so it can be around the same area.

TICKETS

Kelly is able to print them off - are you also designing them or know someone that can? Could they be ready to hand out at trainings week starting 18th of August at the latest?

MC

Chappy & Kelly - will organise the running sheet etc etc

Roxy is able to provide microphone & speakers etc (?confirm?)

ENTERTAINMENT

Dan & Jimmy will organise either some skit (like previous years) or an all in game (like last year) or something... anyone got any ideas?
Who is in charge of music?

AWARDS

Dave W has already reminded himself about the MIP & MVP glasses.
Chappy will send out a club email about the sphincter awards & organise the prizes

DECORATIONS

Roxy's gunna make the place look beautiful

QUESTIONS

Are we going to get people to organise their tables before the event, if so, RSVP to me (1 wk before?)
Do we collect money before the night and on the night (people who have paid full fees including the social levy & have attended AGM & another social function receive $20 off their ticket - who has the list that attended this years AGM?)

what have i forgotten?

Cheers, Jess

Junior clinic @ 6pm tonight

Eric Orton — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 13:02:37 +1000

Hi Guys,

Gus has asked that we all wear our club tracksuits if possible for the junior clinic tonight. So, if you're going home before heading to St Bernards, grab the tracksuit.

For those who've forgotten, all the div 1 and in particular Honours men are expected to come along to St. Bernards tonight for a junior clinic starting at 6pm. Div 2 are also all invited to participate.

Participating in junior development is a part of our requirements for training at that venue. But more than that, these are future Renegades, so lets make them good!

Cheers,
Eric

Reminder Thursday Training

Gus Cirillo — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 00:19:30 +1000

Hi Guys,

Just a reminder that training is at Gilmore tonight (26th June 08), NOT St Bernard's. Given that a couple of you went to the wrong venue last week, I just want to save you all some petrol.

Cheers!!
Gus

Junior girls coaches still needed

David Warwick — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 12:15:25 +1000

After our junior girls tryout night last Thurs., we have assembled three teams to represent the club - one for junior state league and two for Friday night at St. Bernard's.

Paul 'Chappy' Chapman has put up his hand to do the JSL team. He can somehow fit it into assistant coaching the AVL and Honours women and his playing commitments. Unfortunately, it is another case of the same people taking on more work and he would dearly love an assistant coach for this team, so it is a great opportunity for someone interested in coaching to get involved.

The two Friday night teams have no coach. They will be training Thursdays at (to be confirmed tonight) either Gilmore College in Footscray - 5.00 - 7.00, or St.bernard's in Essendon from 6.00 - 8.00, and playing Friday nights at St.Bernard's. If we can't find coaches, neither of these teams will be able to go ahead.

Academy of Mary Immaculate in Fitzroy still need coaches on Monday, Wednesday and Friday between 3.30 and 5.00. Thanks to Nicole Varrto and Kelly Tordisco joining Theresa Falcone in helping out there.

Please contact me if you are able to help out in any of the positions,

Dave

Training at Gilmore this Thursday

Eric Orton — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 13:52:28 +1000

Hi all,

There are teacher / parent interviews at St Bernards this Thursday night so training will be on at Gilmore instead. Luckily you all remember where that is still (I hope).

See you there,

Stats from round 2

Eric Orton — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 14:00:21 +1000

Hi Guys,

Here are the stats which Jess took for our round 2 match. I added a column summarising your overall contribution in terms of wins vs losses which I think is a good indicator of how your game went (well, unless you're a setter or libero and you're main skill isn't directly recorded, I'd still want to be recording a positive outcome though).

The stats pretty much bear out what we mostly know from the game, but it's always good to get independant verification for our gut feelings.

At the top end Nick had the highest return for the day with a high number of wins and only 1 recorded error for the match for an outcome of +9 (he must have been set well). Jesse also did well just amassing a couple more errors for a return of +7.

At the low end Miles amassed the highest number of winners but completely negated them with the highest number of errors to return an outcome of 0.

Finally, Jimmy had a great blocking performance but spoiled his stats by hitting out a lot towards the end of the match to return -2.

Anyway, something to think about at training, catch you all tonight.

Round 2 Stats
Player	Kill				Whoops				+/-
Player	Hit	Serve	Block	Total	Hit	Serve	Other	Total	+/-
Nick	7	0	3	10	0	1	0	1	+9
Jesse	9	0	1	10	2	0	1	3	+7
Jared	7	0	0	7	2	1	0	3	+4
Chappy	1	0	1	2	1	0	0	1	+1
