IMPORTANT MEMBER NOTICE
Allan N is back from holidays and recovering from his fall last week and is finalising the 2026 Jan-Jun memberships that are overdue for next Tuesday and will contact those who are outstanding. We recognise some have been chasing US and we appreciate that but we will get those close out and will provide extra time for Jul-Dec 2026 memberships which will be normally be due in a month or so to assist. We thank you in anticipation of helping us rule a line under Jan-Jun 2026 membership promptly when we contact you.
Thanks for your support of the club in Allan N absence and as always acknowledge of Mark and Danny (and Paul) for their support, plus countless other coordinators for Monday and Friday AM and Sunday PM programs
It’s worth reflecting on a strong 2 years at Watagan where we have record membership, have record member retention, meet our fiscal obligations whilst being not for profit AND have built a cool community at the same time. We have also provided employment opportunities and introduced yoga and massage programs too
None of this happens by luck, and there is ever MORE to do with the NSW Masters in August, our Hunter Junior Circuit, and our Watagan Majors Finals for Autumn 2026
You will learn some additional information soon too - the first 3 years was always intended to be a purely Board run affair and once stabilised was always intended on being a July 2027 Member run association with the change of the constitution to include your voting and say. If you love Watagan as much as we do there will be opportunities to join their board and / or volunteer to help run our program, tournaments and circuit activities in support of Wayne, Adrian and others
If we are honest it’s been A LOT of work and the current volunteers are getting a little tired and can use your support - more on that soon on how you can get involved today!
As always, we know we are not perfect (yet) and if you are ever frustrated or have ideas please do contact Allan N, Mark or Danny for your feedback
It’s a community club and we LOVE input we can use and are proud of what we have all created together so let’s keep this place going strong
