All in all a very good year for the Ladies of Palm Beach.

Now to focus on the 2011 season, the first issue to hand is to find a Premier Women’s Coach.

Coach of 2 years Stephen Neligan has moved to Sydney to take up a new venture and extend his Coaching Career, we wish him well, he was a huge influence on his team winning the League and Grand Final. Steve will be missed and will be hard to replace.

The positions for all Coaches are Open and written nomination close on the 1^st November, all going to plan I hope to have all Coaches appointed prior to the AGM 5^th December.

Sign on day is Saturday 15^th January for returning players and Saturday 29^th January for new players.

REMINDER: Insurance cover ceases on the Friday 31^st December please ensure you renew your membership on or prior to 15^TH January. If you are training or playing friendly games after the 31^st December you will not be covered unless you have private health cover.
