Volunteer Domestic Referees Coordinator Wanted: Requires making rosters for the domestic competition, making up referees weekly pay, ideally being at games on Mondays and Wednesdays as much as possible to be able to monitor referees, dealing with any issues quickly and promptly, being contactable in case referees pull out at short notice. Rosters have previously been done weekly, but can be done as many weeks in advance as the coordinator decides to make them. Paying referees involves entering all games into a spreadsheet, putting money into correct envelopes, sometimes distributing them to people throughout the week. Being at the games ensures all referees are following the rules put in place such as showing up to umpire, wearing correct uniform, starting on time, etc. Failure to do this will result in demerit points being taken off referees which must also be recorded by the coordinator. Coordinator must be contactable in case a referee pulls out at last minute or does not show up for their scheduled game. Must be able to deal with this quickly to ensure games don't run behind. For more information contact Chloe 0448 008 897 or to apply inbox Donna Dunmore

The Ararat Advertiser

I am very happy to announce that we have managed to secure another grant this time from the Ararat Rural City for $6554.00. This money is to assist us with the replacement of the net between the two courts. With this latest grant we will now be able to work really hard on getting this done over the school holidays. We thank both the Ararat Rural City and Pacific Hydro who have assisted us with grants to get this done FINALLY! :)

This Saturday sees the Ararat RedBacks Basketball Club assisting BVC with the running of the Basketball Victoria Country U14 Regional Championship Qualifiers at the Ararat Fitness Centre. The Ararat boys team will be playing at : 9am against Bacchus Marsh, 11am against Melton, 1pm against Colac, 5pm against Portland. Our boys need to finish in the top 2 to continue onto the Victorian Country Championships in April.
