Greetings from your President
It has been a great start to the pennant season with several teams sitting top, second or in the top four. A big thank you to our selectors, coaches and volunteers who make Pennant days at Sturt the envy of many clubs.

Redevelopment Update
The tender for the building of our redeveloped clubrooms was submitted to Council on October 14th. Three builders submitted tenders and they were all within the allocated budget. This means we will be able to fund everything in the plan. We will soon find out who the successful builder is. It is anticipated the building works will commence on the Tuesday after Easter which is April 30th. This means that we can stay in the clubrooms until the end of Pennant’s finals, if necessary, with the last final being on Wednesday April 24th.
A big thank you to Deane Pye and the Stranglers for their work on clearing the sheds for storage of what we will keep from the current clubrooms, doing a stocktake of all of our equipment and removal of the lockers. There will be a lot more work in the months ahead so please be prepared to help when asked.
Club Coach update
Recently, Di Phillips and I met with Izzy Trenorden to offer him a Board approved extension of his contract for an extra two years. Izzy has confirmed that he will stay on….and was excited that we had made this offer. This is great news for the Club!
