Club Shirts
----------------
Jondy Charlesworth has done a great job in getting us grants and co-ordinating the design and ordering for our new club rep team shirts.  These look fantastic.  Free shirts will be issued to all interclub team members, so make sure you tell your captain what size you are if you haven't got yours.  Unfortunately the grant only covered enough shirts for all club rep teams, so we have ordered some additional shirts for sale ($30 each).  If these sell out we will order more to meet demand.

Signage
-----------
The new sign on the outside of the building looks terrific.  Big thanks go to Steve Edwards who pushed this through - well done - it is a massive improvement.  You will also see the sign on the squash court 2 tin, so make sure you tell the guys at Cannon Signage Concepts how good it looks.  For those interested in signage, you too can be involved:
1) Tin signage (i.e. what you hit when you do a crappy drive): $1000 per year (+ the cost of the sign)
2) Above court signage (i.e. what you hit when you do a crappy lob): $500 per year (+ the cost of the sign)
If you want to advertise in the badminton hall, speak to any of the Racquets Club committee members.

Hall Bookings
-------------------
Please note that we have a few groups hiring the badminton hall on a regular basis. If you intend to come down for a casual game, check the calendar on the club website to see that the hall is available.
 
Bar Manager Needed
-------------------------------
After two years of fantastic service, Mike Barnes is finishing his term at the end of June.  Everyone needs to congratulate Mike for a doing such a great job.  At the same time, we now need a new bar manager (ideally a couple of people to share the responsibility).  PLEASE see if you can help the club by assisting with this role.  If you want to find out what is involved, please talk to any of the Racquets Club Committee members.

IMPORTANT:  If we do not have a designated bar manager, the bar will be unable to continue.
