These blood donations help those battling cancer, heart disease, accidents and complications during pregnancy and childbirth.
The Shire Blood Donor Centre at Miranda is responsible for collecting over
13 000 blood donations every year.

One in 3 people will require a blood transfusion at some time in their lives and yet currently only 1 in 30 people donate.
Every donation can save up to 3 lives.
Any questions or suggestions please feel free to contact me on the below.
Thank you.

As in the past we have asked our young members if they would be interested in refereeing our Younger members in the Small Sided Games. They play on a Saturday at Forest Rd Oval. They usually commence around the 8am time slot. This may vary and will be confirmed when the draw is published.
If you are interested you will go on a roster and be allocated games on a weekly basis. This roster will be sent out to you via email and also available on our website.
Your incentive to put your hand up would be that you will be gaining the experience of refereeing, giving something back to the club OH YES and also being paid. (This will get you in)
The payments are $10 for the first game you ref on the day then $8 per game thereafter. We try and give you a couple of games a week so that it is worthwhile you coming down, sometimes this doesn’t happen but we will endeavour to do our best. We pay you direct into your account and the payments are a couple of times a throughout the season.

You will receive training and all the assistance and support you will need, so even if you are not confident now we can help you get that confidence. You would be refereeing from ages Under 6’s up to Under 10’s.

Our Small Sided Ref Coordinator is Meredith Greenham and she will be running an information session to kick off the season, time and date to be advised.

If you feel that you would like to join the team of Refs please send your details to president@stpatricksfc.com.au and ssgrefed@stpatricksfc.com.au  via email asap. We require your full name, age, email address and mobile phone number.

Collecting History of St Patricks FC

Picture
MEMO: Date 27 January 2012

Hello to all the St Pat’s family.
My name is Chris Pefkos alias “Zorba” and I have the honour of being the Club Historian of our great club.

I am excited that we are fast approaching the clubs 50th year anniversary in 2015. 
As part of the celebrations for the 50th year anniversary I am attempting to locate club memorabilia and any other information that can be used to highlight the history of our club.
I am seeking any form of memorabilia such as;
-       Old soccer jerseys
-       Pennants
-       Trophies
-       Medals
-       Photographs
-       Newspaper clippings
 and anything else you can think of that may assist in being used to highlight our club’s history.  I am also interested in your story associated with that piece of memorabilia.  I’m sure there are plenty of old tales to be told and I am willing to talk to anyone that can shed some light on some history, a special event or a particular game perhaps?      

At this point in time I am still in discussion with the club committee as to how the information and memorabilia collected is to be presented (e.g. Scrapbook, DVD, Exhibit etc).  

If you are not comfortable in parting with your memorabilia, I would be more than happy to meet with you and take a photograph or photocopy of the item.

Please feel free to email me at historian@stpatricksfc.com.au   or contact me on 0402139928 should you have some useful information regarding our club’s history.

Please forward this memo to all and anyone who has had any association with St Patrick’s Football Club over the years.



Welcome back to St Patricks FC for season 2012

Welcome back to St Patricks FC for season 2012

Hopefully the sun will be shining upon Forest Rd Oval for the kick off of our season. The Oval is looking healthy and ready for play! You will notice the building works started on our renovation to the facilities. To be completed early 2012.

I would like to remind all players, parents, coaches, managers and supporters that we are all here for one reason “Give the kids a run on the park, learn some team skills, football skills and life skills” yes its great to win but the most important thing to remember is BE A GOOD SPORT !

We now welcome our good neighbour John, who has been very kindly tidying up around the grounds each week that we have not been there and carrying out other jobs, to our general committee family. John will assist the club with turning on and off the lights along with the putting out and in of the garbage bins and other small jobs.

I would like to thank all those people behind the scenes that have been working tirelessly to get this season under way, without you all there would be no mighty St Pats, remembering that we are all volunteers and you are doing a fantastic job. As you may have heard we have gone live with online registrations. I will take this opportunity to thank Mr Terry Minutillo for all the hours and hard work he has done to getting this system up and running and forging our club ahead into the future, thankyou Terry.

We are going to be assisting the Miranda Blood collection centre again with  Blood Donations. We will continue friendly rivalry with some other Clubs in the Shire, there will be more information regarding this on our Website. This is a good cause and can save many lives, so if you ever have spare time, after dropping little Johnny or Jenny off to training you could visit the centre where they will look after you like you are their best friend. They will even make you a Latte !!

Thankyou in advance for all your assistance and enjoy your Football.

Sharon Kibby
President
