Newsletter April 2016

Welcome to the 2016 season at Buderim United Soccer Club. We have made it through our grading games for our U11+ teams and Rooball carnivals for our U10 and younger teams. We hope you have been having fun and success with your fellow team members and families.

We are proud that Buderim United Soccer Club is in an outstanding position in our 31-years of operation. This year we have 22 teams ranging from U6 to U17 plus 2 mens senior teams.

Last weekend we had a number of our players compete in State Titles at Redbank Plains. Congratulations to you all on a huge weekend. We are sure you all did your best and competed in the spirit of the game.

Presidents Report

Its been a great start to the season for BUFC. Thanks to all the volunteers who assisted with our first two home games, which helped create a fabulous atmosphere and contributed to a great day. It was also brilliant to see the inflatable soccer field in use on the second home game, which really added to the kids enjoyment on match day.

I would also like to acknowledge the work behind the scenes of the new committee who have worked hard behind the scenes to get the season off to a great start. Thanks also to

Tony and Mark with your efforts with all the line marking on the fields so that we can all enjoy the great Fishermans Road fields on match day with pride.

Good luck to all BUFC teams this coming weekend. Remember that it is about all our children playing soccer in a safe and fun environment.

See you Saturday,

Ross G

We have been successful in acquiring a grant from the Queensland Government and the Gambling Community Benefit Committee to supply and install barrier netting behind the fields on the southern end. We are currently speaking to Sunshine Coast Council on the best way to instal these.

Buderim United FC would like to extend a huge THANK YOU to -

Sunshine Mitre 10 and John McDougall for the supply and materials, Morwood Constructions for the labour and construction and Wayne Potter for painting -

all for our new storage areas in the clubhouse.

Without your generous support we would still be dreaming of meeting this goal.
