Date: 17/08/2008Thank You North Beach, Rockingham & Our Reds Members
Congratulations to everyone involved with those two Clubs who put their hands up, and please know that your support is appreciated as the Reds take their games to the fans.
2008 has been a tough year with a lot of lessons learnt both on and off the field and one area we have battled is in having enough volunteers and resources from week to week. The past two home games have seen an amazing level of support from our WARL Clubs and we are confident that this will be mirrored again with the South Perth Club next weekend.
For all of our Reds Members who have embraced the initiative and who have sent dozens of emails of support, we would also like to say Thank You. We appreciate your support and promise you that it will be rewarded more and more as we adjust to the demands of travel and organising the Reds on a week to week basis.
Most of our people, myself included, are volunteers who have jobs or businesses that take up our time so the Reds and the WARL are really unpaid second jobs to many of us with our only payment being the satisfaction of seeing the team run out and play each week (which is great payment by the way).
For the couple of hundred dollars investment made I trust that our Members have received at least that and hopefully more in $ value for the 11 games of Jim Beam Cup this season. I know I have certainly enjoyed it and, like those dozens of people who send emails, I too am in for the long haul!
Next year we expect to have a couple more salaried staff focused on looking after our members and our sponsors so please maintain the faith and know that you are appreciated.

Chairman.
