Went along to the AGM last night.
A big turnout, with more people than chairs, which is an encouraging sign.
The entire playing list (with a couple of exceptions) was in attendence.
Briefly:
* Smorgon spoke with his passion and good humour
* Cam Rose spoke well, although I think he sounds a little like Elliot Goblet
* Finances were gone over, encouraging news was Leaseplan being secured as a major sponsor for 3 years.
* Eade addressed the members and introduced the new draftees.. West is taller than I expected. Hope he gets over that knee quick. I thought Baird and West probably looked the two most ready to play senior footy.
* I think there were 7 life memberships ( I meant to jot them all down), they included Glennis (the receptionist), two physios, who were individually introduced by Scott West and Chris Grant, who both spoke very well. Trevor Flett was awarded life membership as well, and was introduced by David Smorgan. Others were the bloke that mixes drinks (and supplies toffees and marshmellows)
* The goal for membership is 26K again, which they feel we can achieve with the monthly payments, and our good form in the second half of last leason.
* There was a raffle of dubious legitimacy, as the bloke running it had his name drawn from the raffle, and then the second prize ticket drawn was Smorgans wife (which was promptly donated back)... to which David called for the auditors to come in and oversee the remainder of the raffle.
* A lot of people were sneaking glances down at the Recfooty final during the meeting!
