Coming up
We are now only 7 weeks away from Registration Day and for the Seniors, just 8 weeks away from our first practice.

The major dates to look forward to are:
• Annual General Meeting Monday 7th July at the Sports Club
• Registration Day Sunday 27th July
• 1st Seniors Practice Saturday 2nd August
• 1st Game – Juniors and Seniors Saturday 6th September.

Annual General Meeting (AGM)
Details of our AGM are:
• When: Monday 7th July
• Where: WPH Sports Club
• Time: 7.45 pm

It would be good to see as many people there as possible as this is where the big decisions for 2008-09 are made about how the season unfolds. The meeting usually doesn’t go for too long and this leaves us with a chance to catch-up on the season to come over a few ‘quiet’ ones.

Website
If you have a chance please browse of the website. There have been some fabulous innovations.

Grounds
Thanks to Amir Marzouk (A1) and Peter Lees these blokes have done a tremendous job in creating a Google Earth view of every ground we play on - under the Grounds tile on the index. Accompanying this is the history, a story and major achievements by WPHC players on each ground. Have a browse and see if you played in any of these matches or better still, if you get a mention. Going forward, we will keep a record of any major personal/Club milestones at each Ground.

History
We have one of the more colourful histories of any Club in the Association. The History part of the website has also been updated so, again, have a browse and enjoy reading about the people and events that shaped where we are today.
