Help needed in HNA

Dear All,
As you are already aware I am stepping down as Chair from Hampshire Netball
association at the AGM in June. Hampshire Netball Association is in crisis of folding if more people do not come forward to help. The more hands we have prepared to do a little the easier it is for all concerned to build Hampshire into the best County in
the country.

Currently we have the following positions vacant:
*   Chair (from June 2013)
*   Vice Chair
*   Secretary
*   Minutes Secretary
*   Coaching Secretary
*   Umpiring Secretary
*   Publicity Officer
*   Academy Co-ordinator

We are also about to begin our next 4 year cycle of planning. This is your
chance to get involved in what you want to happen in Netball in Hampshire
but without a committee, or someone to lead it there may not be:

*   Any Umpiring courses organised
*   Any Academy programme or talent pathway opportunities
*   Any Competition pathway from county to Region – league play offs
*   Any Junior League Opportunities
*   Any Development opportunities for Coaches, Umpires and Players
*   Any Financial support on courses
*   Any Volunteer recognition via HNA Goalden Globes

If anyone is interested in any of the positions or knows of anyne who might
be and would like to find out more information please feel free to contact
me via email
