You should have received an email from the WACA (Gabrielle Leipold) on March 6th inviting you to the Olly Colley Medal Night. This is obviously the night of nights for WADCC/ WACA where they announce the WACUA Olly Cooley Medal winner. Tickets are $40 per member and if you want to bring a guest you’re welcome to do so for the same price. The WACA’s email suggested RSVP’ing to me directly (via email) but the committee would really appreciate it if you can RSVP on our website at https://www.wacua.asn.au/event/olly-cooley-medal-night/
- Annual Season Dinner
- Memorandum of Understanding: The MOU was signed by us and is with the WACA to be accepted be formally accepted by the board and signed. Once their signature is made we’ll be asking for the Match Officials Manager and other delegates at the WACA like Alan Johanson to join the committee at our meetings in the off season to formalise everything, including both parties agreeing on the registration fee. This fee, will be presented to the members at the Annual General Meeting so please provide any feedback to the committee by speaking to any of us or emailing secretary@wacua.asn.au between now and June!
- End of Season Survey: In April, keep your eye out for the end of season survey so we on the committee can receive honest feedback from all member on how this season went. We value this feedback and we use it to shape next seasons
That’s it from me. Go the Eagles!
Cheers,

Treasurer’s Report
Hi everyone,
We’re getting to the pointy end of the season now! As such, our two big events are just around the corner! The grand final breakfast will be at Mantra on Hay this year and they always have a great buffet menu, so please get your RSVPs and payments ($25.00) in as soon as possible.
Our annual dinner is also coming up, and this has a pretty big cost associated with it so we need everyone to get involved and purchase tickets. It’s going to be a great event so don’t miss out.
One event that we recently subsidised that wasn’t originally budgeted for was drinks at the opening of the Test Umpires’ Walk at the WACA. This came to $467.
Here are our current balances (correct at time of writing):
Cheque account: $7 652.65
Savings account: $10 039.39
Cash: $0.00
Total: $17 692.04
I know some keen-eyed umpires will notice that this amount is slightly less than what we had at the start of the season. With the two big costs still to come, it’s looking like we’re going to end up a few thousand dollars down for the season.
Thanks,
Andrew Micenko
WACUA Treasurer
