PSNA President Expresses Thanks

In a short telephone interview with Mrs Lynna Koneubau, President of the Public Servants Netball Association mid last week, Mrs Koneubau expressed satisfaction at the achievements of the association this season and was looking forward to starting the new season off in October this year with a bit more certainty and stronger unity among participating clubs/teams.  " I am confident in a much better organised competition next year and call on all members both individually and as teams to work collectively at improving the level of competition and better cooperation among member clubs in 2011.

She confirmed that trophies and awards for this year would be distributed on a Corporate Dinner and Presentation Night which she anticipates will be in late May/early June. The PSNA Executive is still working out the details but the event would be a joint 2009/2010 presentation night and cover last years unfortunate circumstances.

"My sincere thanks go the whole PSNA Executive and working committees, who were working under difficult circumstances to get through this season.  To Anne Dobin and her match committee and Vice President Mary Albaniel for her support this season."

With the success of this season, it is hoped that other teams would now consider joining the next season which starts in October 2010 reiterating that the current Executive was committed to rebuilding the PSNA to the days when there were 50 and 60 public service teams competing every Sarturday, where women in the public service could enjoy interacting, networking and keeping healthy in a environment of friendship and well being.  On behalf of my Executive, "I encourage other teams thinking of joining, to please orgnise yourselves and apply in September/October of this year"

Mrs Koneubau also extended another invitation to anyone interested in joining the group traveling to the Pan Pacific Masters Games in Australia this year to contact any of the PSNA executive for details.  A meeting will be held at the Sir Donald Cleland Pool after Easter, possibly on Saturday 10th April 2010.
