2016 Executive panel

The planning weekend is designed to induct new members to give them a clear understanding of the purpose and direction of the VFUA, whilst ensuring all executive members left with a clear understanding of their role and responsibilities.

“I am very excited about the year ahead,” said Michael.  “Whilst undoubtedly, there will be some challenges, l believe we have the right team in place to make 2016 a fantastic year.” 

Michael encouraged all members to play an active role in their Association during the year. “We have an excellent social events program for 2016 and l encourage all members to attend and meet and socialize with other members on the umpiring panels.”
