Calling all Mitchie FC Juniors. Do you want to be on TV?

Channel 9 has a great new football show (Football Stars of Tomorrow) which goes to air every Sunday at 2.00pm. Our Director of Football, Greg Brown, has arranged for the show to come to Mitchelton and do a feature story on the Junior side of the Club.This program is broadcast nationally and will provide great exposure for the club.

The Channel 9 crew will be at Teralba Park from just before midday on Saturday 11 July 2009. Representatives from Brisbane Roar will also be coming down. We need to try and get as many Mitchie FC juniors playing, watching or just being around the club at that time. Juniors who can make it will need to be at the club from about 11.00am until finished. All players should be in their sponsors training shirt. We will set up teams and play games for fun.

Keep an eye on this website for more information as it comes to hand.

The footings for the 4 new light poles have been poured and most of the underground conduit has been laid. By the end of the week the new cross arms for the poles will have arrived and the attachment of the light fittings can begin.

Next Wednesday is a rest day for the Southern Skies Football Tournament being held at the club and this will allow for the new poles to be erected.

The only casualty so far has been a broken water pipe which was promptly fixed by Grant (Jabba) Bryant. Thanks Grant. The project is going to plan.

A reminder to parents, coaches and managers to please keep all kids away from the work areas.

Our major lighting project is finally under way. The improved weather conditions means that it is now full steam ahead – future weather permitting of course!

Parents, coaches and managers please keep all kids away from the work areas at the club over the next few weeks. We ask for your help and patience during this work, and please remember that it will mean improved lighting facilities for all age groups at our club.

All training has been called off for Tuesday 23 June. The playing surfaces have taken a lot of rain over the past two days and any use before they dry off properly could damage them for the rest of the season.

The Mitchie FC Director of Football, Greg Brown, has updated his "Coaches Corner" page.

Our lights project will formally commence on Tuesday 23 June when footings for the four poles will be dug and the concrete poured. The poles are expected to arrive on site shortly after, or at the same time.

Work will continue for the rest of next week and the following week, which is the first week of the school holidays. Work will then need to stop for the second week of the school holidays because of the Southern Skies tournament. The following week, starting Monday 13 July, may require us to cancel all but Premier League team training as there will be only limited power each night. This will give the contractors every chance to complete the work as soon as possible. We would like to thank all members and their families for their patience and understanding during this large and important project.

If you have changed your email address recently and would like to receive updates from the club, please let us know your new address and we will amend our records.

Earlier this year the committee advised the lighting project would commence in March. Regrettably this did not occur as the final approval for the project was not received from the State Government until 20 May 2009. After consultation with the contractors the committee is pleased to advise that work is due to commence on 22 June 2009. This date is dependent on the weather staying dry to allow heavy duty equipment access to the site. The work sites will have safety barriers erected to stop unauthorised entry. Coaches and parents are asked to assist by ensuring no children treat the work sites as "play areas".

Club members Greg Birnie from Hutchinson Builders and Paul Phillips from Watpac are both Contract Administrators for their respective companies and have volunteered to manage the project for the club. The club is appreciative and fortunate to have Greg and Paul's expertise available. There may be some disruption to training nights, however, this is expected to be minimal. When work commences, a weekly update will be posted on the club’s website.

Mitchelton Football Club’s director of coaching Greg Brown will hold a coaching clinic for junior players during the coming school holidays. The clinic will run from 9am to 12noon for four days from Monday 29 June 2009 to Thursday 2 July 2009. The cost is $110, with morning tea included each day. Players from other clubs are welcome.
