Established in 1964, the Pines Football Netball Club has evolved into an important and well respected member of the Mornington Peninsula Netball Football League (MPNFL). As we celebrate 60 years of existence, we are not only proud of our many on field successes, but cherish the many great friendships that have been born at our club, and remain focused on providing a family friendly environment, that our members and supporters cherish.
The Pines Cricket Club & Pines Football Netball Club are thrilled to be receiving new Eric Bell Facilities in our 60th Year of operation! To commemorate the 60th Year, and also the establishment of new facilities, we are organising a Paver Fundraiser as a joint venture.
The named pavers will be laid around the new building ensuring that Pines’ Family names will forever be connected to the new clubrooms. The money raised will be used to fund the purchasing of new kitchen equipment, bar X 2 equipment & canteen equipment for the new facilities.
This is a fabulous opportunity to show your pride for the Pines and also support raising the funds for the needed equipment. You can purchase a single paver for $150 or a Double paver for $250.
AGM UPDATE & 2026 COMMITTEE β€οΈπ
Last Wednesday we held our 2025 Pines Football Netball Club AGM.
We took time to listen to reports from all sectors of our onfield and off field operations and discussed highlights and low lights.
We ended the season in a strong financial position and we will make our Presidentβs, Vice Presidentsβ and Financial reports available for members to read in the coming weeks.
We also took the time, as we should, to thank Paddy Swayn and his family for their unwavering support over the past 11 years and acknowledged Paddyβs contribution to the club as a past Premiership Player, Coach, Life Member and incredible great person. We wish him the very best in his new position at the Frankston VFL Football Club.
We celebrated the success of our Womenβs Football Team making finals, our C Grade Netball team also making finals and our successful hosting of the 2026 Division 1 Preliminary Finals @ Eric Bell Reserve where our volunteers, facilities and ground were showcased for all to see.
We then moved onto the election of our 2026 office bearers- which you can see attached.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Jackie Ord who stepped down as secretary after 2 years in the position. Jackie continued in the position as secretary even after her son moved clubs- a sign of her dedication to doing a great job for Pines. Thank you Jackie.
We held a ballot for the position of Treasurer as we had 2 people nominated for the role. As per the constitution we were required to follow a process to elect our 2026 Treasurer and, as a result of this, we have a new Treasurer for 2026.
We thank outgoing Treasurer, Brenda Hilton, for the work she has done with our accounts over the past 7 years. She has worked tirelessly to manage our finances with extreme accuracy and she has been a diligent member of the committee.
We wish both Jackie and Brenda all the very best moving forward.
As a result of the ballot we welcome Geraldine Klein, as our new Treasurer. Geraldine has been a Treasurer at the Langwarrin Football Netball Club and is a certified accountant in her real job, so she will continue to keep our financials at the high level they have been left in. She is mother to the 4 Klein boys and has been the Under 19s Team Manager for the past few seasons so has met most people - I am sure you will join us in welcoming Geri to the club in this role.
We also welcome Elli Haskett as a new member to the committee! Elli ensures we have another womenβs football at the table and will bring enthusiasm and passion to the team!
We have a number of casual committee positions that have been added to the group! All roles that are so important to the running of the club but donβt require the commitment of being at every meeting! Thank you to those new members!
It is now time to start planning for next season and beyond! Off field, we need to write a new 5 year Strategic Plan and keep improving our off field work. On field we have continued to set high expectations of our playing groups and have started this work strongly.
We look forward to keeping you updated over the Summer months and canβt wait to see everyone soon! Stay tuned for dates, practice matches, training updates, player profiles and just general βstuffβ our Social Media team like to post!
Cheers
Kim
