Well here we are all, the season is finally upon us and we are set to start on Saturday 28th of April. For all those new to the club, the North Balwyn Baseball Club was formed in 1937 and this season represents the 70th anniversary. It is fantastic to see this year again the incredible growth in numbers, particularly in the junior section of the club. In addition, the canteen is virtually finished and is looking . It really is an exciting time for the club. Three years ago the club only had 20 members in total and was on the verge of collapse, this season there are over 80 registered members which is a fantastic achievement for all involved.
The new canteen has effectively created a position that the club has not had to previously manage. If anyone in the club is interested in helping out to help manage the successful operation of the canteen for season 2007 then please get in contact with us at northbalwynbc@yahoo.com
The main role will be to manage the stock level and where required, organise for someone to purchase additional stock. The club will then reimburse costs.
Throughout the course of the season, everyone can expect to be rostered on for canteen duty so when it is your turn, if you are unable to do it, it will be your responsibility to find someone to swap with.
==========================================================
Here is the schedule for the week leading up to the start of the season:
Junior training will be held from 5pm to 7pm on Tuesday.
There will be a parent information session from 6pm to 7pm so please try to attend.

Senior training will run from 6:30pm on Thursday under lights in our new lit batting cage. It will be improved through the year and the second stage is to get approval to light up the outfield of our ground to have enough room to run an infield with room for ground balls and throwing. There will also be a COMPULSARY SENIOR SELECTION MEETING from 7:30pm with a BBQ.
Ripken from Ausball Sports Equipment will have on hand some pants to sell for those without (I believe they are $40, tops are $65). In addition, if you do not own a club cap, they will be on sale for $20 at training on Thursday. Treasurer Sam Chan will also be on hand to accept payment of fees which are $250 for seniors and $175 for students.
