We are looking at  putting up a whole new design (plus keeping the thing up-to-date).  Keep an eye on it, it should look real spiffy (and functional don't forget). 
Send us some feedback.
Annual General Meeting
The AGM is being held on February 25th, Tuesday, at 6:30pm at Brisbane Boys College. Members are needed to attend to vote in the new executive committee.

This will be a momentous occasion as David Kelly (you know the guy who has been president for the last 15 years) has decided not to run for the position again. 

The agenda for the meeting is:
1. Opening 
2. Apologies
3. Previous minutes
4. Business arising from previous minutes
5. President's report
6. Treasurer's report
7. Election of new committee
8. Appointment of Auditor
9. General Business
10. Close.

To nominate someone for one of the following positions, you need to fill in a nomination form and have it seconded by another member.  Contact the office to get a form.  They have to be in to the office 5 days before the AGM.
President Vice-President
Treasurer Secretary

Please think about taking up one of these volunteer positions to help out the running of the club. 
Chief Referee Equipment Officer 
Coaching Director Fundraising Officer 
Tournament Director Junior Development Officer
Competition Managers:

If no one takes up any one of these positions then that part of Dragons will suffer or even disappear (which has happened to social events, newsletters, fundraising and equipment).

Tour - Good Neighbour

The tourists were runners up in Div 1 Mixed comp at Good Neighbour 2002.

The trip was another great successful fun journey for the participants which this year involved a few dirt roads.

We look forward to seeing more members on tour in 2003.

Junior Development
will be starting in the second school term after Easter at BBC on Tuesday afternoons.
During the meanwhile you could be playing Metro.

Awards Ceremony  2002
Awards given for 2002 are on the web page http://www.dragons.org.au/2002/awards.html
V-League
In 2002 Dragons attended most of the V-League tournaments (except the finals as usual).  The women were in the top 3 at Toowoomba and Beenleigh, the men were in the top 3 at Toowoomba and Kingaroy, coming a little lower in the others.  QVA has not yet announced the schedule for 2003. When they do we will let you know which ones Dragons will endeavour to attend.  We are always looking for more players to go to these weekend tournaments.  Any members can go regardless of skill, to enjoy the fun and the volleyball
