   Subs great quiz night
  By Kellee Flatt  - 05-08-2010
 
   
  Hi everyone

The annual Subs Quiz Night is on next Saturday 14 August – we’re looking for some smart cookies for form tables of 8 and join the fun on the night.

When: Saturday 14 August
Time: 7.30pm to 11.00pm
Where: The Palms Community Centre, cnr Nicholson & Rokeby Roads, Subiaco
Cost: $15 per person (tables of 8 required) – pay on the night.

RSVP: bookings are essential – please email me, Kellee at Kellee.flatt@rwwa.com.au to reserve your table by Monday 9 August
(this helps us to set up properly on the night, and have lots of cold drinks in the fridge).

There are some terrific prizes to be won with the Quiz Night raffle, including:
•        Accommodation voucher for the Novotel Langley (very handy for those attending the Subs wind-up at the Langley on Friday 24 September!)
•        $50 Bunnings voucher
•        $50 bar card at The Claremont

This is an opportunity to show some support for the club. Besides being a fundraiser, it is also a good fun night out.

As a special feature and acknowledgement of the part Vets play and have played in the Club, presentations will be made to our longest serving members.

Bring your own nibbles, but no BYO alcohol, as there will be plenty of brain juice available at the bar! (note this is an 18+ event).

Please call if you require any further information – otherwise look forward to seeing you on the night!

Kind regards
Kellee.

  Two of our teams are playing in Challenge Cups this weekend.

Sun    July 11th    3:15    PHS 2    Men's Prov 2   Black

Besides these teams, we had a few near misses that were unlucky not to make the top 2 in their grades at this stage. Save it up for the finals!!

Congratulations to all the players and their coaches and good luck for the Cup. Let's see if we can get some more pennants hanging up in the clubrooms!

And let's help our club members along by turning up and giving our teams the best support that Subs is known for.


   Brazillian Drums Roar at Family Fun Day
  By Anna Catelli  - 02-06-2010
 
   
 
The weather always threatened to be miserable and so the Bouncy Castle had to be abandoned but Family Fun Day was not. There was Brazilian bongo players, face painting, red bull girls.    Many thanks to Rick Hopkins and his team for organising it. I would like to extend special thanks to Julian Peet for providing the sausages, onions & buns, Paul Wellington for cooking them and being a fabulous compere, and Gerald Porter for running the raffle and looking after the bar.    The bar usually grosses about $700 when 4 teams play, but on family fun day, with sausages, raffle and all we grossed about $1,000. It is a great money raiser. Thank you Juggernauts.    None of the teams who played at Tregonning Fields won, but the Metro Ladies team enjoyed the bonhomie which took place on the adjoining field and played well. Those with children took them home with gorgeous faces painted and very happy to have spent the afternoon at Subs.    The only glitz on the day was the injury sustained by the Metro 4 player (Thompson) which left that team short. We all sincerely hope you get better soon.

   Mark calls it a day!
  By Mike Whitford  - 20-05-2010
 
   
  This message was received today from Mike Whitford, the captain of the o/40’s.

His team contains many stalwarts of the club who have given valuable service to the club. Amongst these members is Mark Hansen whose record with the club is outlined by Mike (below).

We all wish Mark a happy retirement from the game and share his disappointment at not being able to continue. His 38 seasons place him amongst some of the Vets who have been such a presence at Subs over the years.

On behalf of the club, thanks Mark for a valued and valuable contribution.

Eric Alcock
President

(p.s. Crook knees do not prevent you from having a few beers at the club on a Saturday!!)


“I thought you might be interested to know that club stalwart Mark "Custard"
Hansen has announced his retirement from competitive hockey. You may recall Mark ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee several seasons ago, playing hockey at Tregonning. Whilst he recuperated from the knee injury and returned to the field last year, he has never regained full mobility and has obviously been struggling with post match soreness in both knees since his return.

Up to the time of his injury, Custard had played hockey continuously for 36 seasons. All of that time was with Subs through juniors, seniors and finally vets. He played a lot of second division hockey as a rugged and hard tackling defender. Whilst his first grade opportunities were limited, he was certainly knocking on the door in the golden era of the early 80's.

It is a sad day for his Over 40 team mates, many of whom he has known and played with for many of those now 37 seasons. It is a sad day also for the club. Custard will be known to many due to his longevity and easy manner. He is a Subs man through and through. He will have made this decision to retire in his usual pragmatic manner. However, I know he will be deeply disappointed that his winter Saturdays will no longer be filled with the anticipation of pulling on the red and blue. We bid him farewell from our team and hope that he continues to maintain an interest in the club. There will always be a beer waiting for him at Tregonning.


Michael Whitford”
