It’s National Volunteer Week!

By admin | Uncategorized

Our club is run solely on a Volunteer basis, we don’t always get to show our appreciation to the members who help out, chip in, and keep us going. They give their own time to running the club and making sure that it will keep going long in to the future.

This week is a good opportunity for us to stop and say a BIG THANK YOU to those people, no matter how big or how small their contribution has been.

There are about 6 million active volunteers in Australia currently and research show that these volunteers are happier as a result.

If you’d like to be a happier person and you have some time or skills that you would like to volunteer to the club, even if it’s just a ‘one off’ hour we would really appreciate any time that you could give.

Please email secretary@wefc.com.au if you are interested or would like to chat.

Pre 2015 Season Working Bee Part 1

By admin | Uncategorized

With the 2015 bearing down on us, we decided to undertake some turf laying on the Western end of the pitch in both the goal section and corner section. Both areas were fatigued and had compacted dirt where lush turf should be.

Unfortunately, rain messed up the turf delivery for two weeks in a row. This meant that the Working Bee on Saturday 28th would be the first of two and would focus on cleaning out the shed as well as preparing the sections for turf laying the weekend after.

With a great turnout of members, we also focused on removing weeds (in particular the bindy patches) from the southern wing of the pitch. This will give the existing couch grass a chance to re-establish itself. Unfortunately, weed removal will be an ongoing task throughout the season and is not going to be an easy fix. Constant work will be required to get the weeds under control over the winter months.

Part 2 of the Working Bee – “The Laying of the Turf” will happen on Saturday 7th March 2015 and again, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Working Bee 28.02.2015

By admin | Uncategorized

This Saturday 28th of Feb, the club will be carrying out a working bee on the Davies Park Pitch to get it ready for the 2015 season.

There are two main areas that require attention:

The corner with the drinking tap and the near goal area will both have sections of turf laid to recover what is currently dirt.
The shed needs its final clean up, most of the rubbish has already been removed, it is just the finer details that need to be attended to now.

We have already done a lot of preparation and the tasks at hand will be quite simple if we can get a good number of people to help out.

If you have a bit of spare time on Saturday, we would love it if you could help the club provide a better facilities for players this season! We will provide cold drinks and will put on a BBQ (gold coin donation) for you all, so if you could let us know by Thursday if you’re available via email that would help us massively. We are looking for about 20 people to make light work.

What you will need – Sun protection, gardening gloves, shovels and picks (if possible) and maybe a wheelbarrow.

It will start at 1pm and the turf will be delivered at 3pm (sorry about the heat). You are more than welcome to bring friends and family to help out or supervise 🙂

If you have any questions or suggestions, please send them through.

Sign on Day 2015

By admin | Uncategorized

On January 31st, we held our sign on day at Davies Park. We had a sausage sizzle and sold merchandise to help raise money for the club and had some six a side mini games to get people involved throughout the day.

The day was a big success, with over 100 people signing up to become a part of our Football Club. This has enabled us to field a total of seven teams for the 2015 season.
