February 27/2012

Welcome everyone to the 2012 mixed slowpitch season. The AGM/registration meeting is Tuesday February 28th, 7:00 at the coast hotel. Registration forms will be available there but please take the time to fill out the form on our website and then print it off. It just makes it so much easier to read and to enter all of the information into the computer. When they are hand written it is often very difficult to read the email addresses. If you do fill out the form by hand please print clearly. Also note the form on the website does not have the current fees, those were the fees from last year. This year’s fees are as follows

A division $1000 returning team
$1050 new team

B-E division $750 returning team
$800 new team

It is very important all teams include 2 contacts including email addresses for each. All communication will be done through email and the website so if you don’t check your email on a regular basis maybe a secondary contact who does would be a good idea. I don’t want anyone to miss any important information because of that.
-$100 deposit is no longer due because if the entire amount is not paid by March 28th you will not be scheduled.

-Elections
