2019 Annual General Meeting

Let’s call it a wrap!

Thank you for supporting your Committee this year. We have appreciated the quiet moments with you and the messages and comments encouraging us along through the year – they make the difference and make us feel we are part of something special here at Ormond. 

We have emphasised our club values at every turn and have done our best to live them along-side you all. We have focussed our efforts on developing all our players and coaches and providing them with support along the way and a clear pathway to follow. Knowing your kids are happy, improving themselves and feel they belong and want to come back means the world to us.

The Annual Report of the 2019 Committee can be found here 2019 OJFC Annual Report (PDF).  Below are some of the things we are pretty chuffed about – they wouldn’t happen without your support – Thank You!

We also know there are some things we can work on.

The club has vitality. It’s in a strong financial position, our competitiveness has substantially improved, we are respected and underpinned by lived values, and we are seen as and WE ARE a Community. 

I’m humbled to be elected your President again - I’ll introduce you to our 2020 Committee and some of our new key initiatives shortly.

Go Monders!
