Melbourne University Water Polo Club – AGM 2007
It was a night so international and so complete that we would have truly felt at home anywhere on earth. And yet there is only one place where we could truly be at home. That place, friends, is PA’s, or the Prince Alfred Hotel in Richmond.
There was high debauchery, there was tales of old regaled at high-speed, there were tears and plenty of jokes were made with a blatant disregard for all things race or sex related. New friends allied with old and many bonds were formed. Some players spoke of dark times when assaults had been committed or personal liberties impinged but all in all it was a special time.
There was a serious side to the proceedings though and this was the club elections. After some heated voting, a stabbing and many applicants vying for all positions, an agreement was made and positions were established.
Presidency was achieved by the mighty Ben Yeo who will rule us all with his iron fist. Two vice-presidents were created being the pretty eyed Adele Maloney and the cowardly Brett Liang. Secretary is Dominik White, who is like a flower, treasurer is this guy called Jules Malseed-Harris, and Lara Thompson and Tim Dow have joined forces to become Social Sectaries. Some have voiced concern for the safety of Lara Thompson but we think she will be just fine. Darren Waters is king of the website and another lovely man called Joel Smith is doing the marketing and sponsorship stuff.
Most importantly we give thanks to Nikki Brandt and Brett Liang for their roles as our coaches, women’s and men’s teams respectively. There are also many people involved with the Social side of things and they are great, good on them.
We all look forward to a long and prosperous year at Melbourne University Water Polo Club. Good luck team
Ben Shields
