CLUB DUTY DAY - SAT 11 FEBRUARY

We have another Club Duty Day this Saturday 11 February. 

We will have Mr Whippy, Braai BBQ, Bake Sale and selling our final Calendar Raffle Tickets. We will be able to accept cash and payment via QR code with credit card. 

To make this day a success, we ask for help from our players/parents to test out your baking skills to bring along a plate. We have had amazing fudge, cupcakes, sweet packs, gluten free brownies, cakes and more.  We appreciate all levels of support.

All teams need to provide at least 1 person to help man the control room, and also help with at the bake sale stands, as we are hoping to have two stands one by the club rooms and one by diamond 9 (for accessibility).  Your team Manager will be reaching out for volunteers. 

All of our committee are heavily involved in the club as players, coaches, club photographers, scorers and team managers so having ‘friends of the committee’ on days like this is so valuable for us as we tend to get stretched quite thin.  If you have some spare time on Saturday and are able to help the committee with fundraising activities i.e. looking after the bake sale stand and selling the final few Calendar Raffle tickets – we would really appreciate your help! please let us know at secretary@ecbsoftball.org.nz 

ECB CODE OF CONDUCT

We wanted to take the opportunity to remind our members or introduce our new members to our ECB Softball Code of Conduct 

This covers our expectations of our ECB Softball players, coaches, manages and by extension friends and family that support our ECB teams. As a whole, we are always #ecbproud and want to ensure that every member has that same pride in putting on their uniform each week and not only because of how they play, but because of their unrivaled sportsmanship towards their team mates and opponents.
