We have a big season coming up so lets get out and get a head start on our fitness, your body will thank you for it in a couple of months.

Many thanks to guest speakers, Barb Gilley and Rob Harvey. A huge thanks to Brain Lyall for, once again, organizing and hosting this annual event on behalf of the Barrhaven Scottish. Next year our aim will be to try and double the size of this annual social.

I am looking forward to getting reacquainted with all the Club members at these functions. This is going to be a very challenging year for the Scottish with both the Men and Women competing in the Super League. I am looking forward to taking the step up to prove that the Club is ready to meet and exceed this challenge.

Gord Tennant, President

The new executive members are: Kathleen De Jesus-Gauthier (Secretary), Gary Thomas (VP Planning), Mike Parker (VP Junior), Chelsea Heuff (VP Women), and Rob Stanfield (Registrar).  They join returning executives Bryce Cooper (VP Finance) and Danny O’Shea (VP Men), while Gord Tennant moves from VP Planning to President.  Best of luck for the new executive as they plan what promises to be an exciting 2012 season!

Of course, the club would not be in a position to excel were it not for the time and effort put in by the departing executive members.  Past president Brian Lyall has accepted a position as coach and high performance director of the Eastern Ontario rugby sevens program.  Rachel Abraham and Ashley Reid, who served as VP Women and Secretary respectively, have helped build our women’s program into the success it has become and will focus on playing next season.  Steve Crane will also focus on helping the men’s teams build on last year and will pursue his doctorate in geophysics.  Colin Langille has toiled manfully as registrar for the past three years and will use his extra time to make a long-awaited return to the pitch in 2012.  Thank you to all departing executive members!

The AGM is an important part of the administration of the club, and helps determine the direction the club will take over the following year.  It also provides an opportunity for the Club Executive to report on its activities over the past year.  All members of the club are strongly encouraged to attend.

The AGM is also where elections are held for vacant positions on the Executive.  This year, the following positions are open: President, Secretary, VP Planning, VP Women, VP Juniors.

For all motions or elections at the AGM, playing members and associate members in good standing have one vote.  A person shall be considered an associate member of the club should they be sponsored by a playing member in good standing.  Parents of children playing in the club are associate members by virtue of the parental relationship with the playing member.

In summary, the AGM is an important opportunity to help decide the activities and policies of your club.  It is strongly recommended that all players attend.  Should you have any questions about the AGM or your eligibility to vote, please send an e-mail to any member of the executive, as detailed in the Contact section of this website.

The Banquet is the annual event that marks the end of the season and sees the presentation of awards to senior players and administrators.  Tickets are $45.

Those interested in attending should contact Rachel Abraham (vpwomen@barrhavenscottish.com) or Danny O’Shea (vpmen@barrhavenscottish.com) to reserve tickets.
