Normanby Community and Sporting Club Inc is incorporated. Our incorporation has been approved by the Office of Fair Trading.

NOBs Special Meeting - Notice

The Normanby Old Boys organisation has grown significantly over the past couple of years and finances are sound due to the raffles at the Alderley. We are now at a crossroads where we can stay as an informal organisation or set up as a formal body and incorporate as a Not for Profit Organisation. We have also had discussions with Normanby Social Bowls Club who are also set up informally and who share many NOBs as members.  

We are considering amalgamation and to incorporate a new body as Normanby Community and Sports Club Inc. There are great opportunities for the newly formed official club to cement its place in the inner northern suburbs in the near future.We would like to have as many NOBs as possible have a say in the future direction of the association so we have arranged a meeting at the Ithaca Bowls Club, Fulcher Road, Red Hill on Saturday 5 June at 11:00am. Please come along, have your say, and join us for a few drinks afterwards.

 

NOBs Day 2009

A great day was had at the Alderley for NOBs Day 2009. About 45 old boys turned out for one of the best NOBs Days yet.

Special guests, Greg Oliphant and Ron Raper entertained the crowd with some great stories of their playing and coaching careers. Thank you to both of the guests for making the day special.

Sponsor a Jersey

Next season you can be part of the Hounds Premiership Push by buying shares. Each share costs $25.00 and the share issue will be limited to 64. 

Buy one share and you wil be a half sponsor in a Reserve jersey and will be the match day sponsor for the player wearing that jersey on the day. You will be given credit for the sponsorship on the website and in the Hound Herald newsletter.

Two shares get you a half share in a Run-on jersey number for the season and four will get you a full share in a Run-on Jersey. You buy as many shares as you like but they are on a first come, first served basis and once the 64 are sold the share issue will close.

Be quick as numbers 1, 5, 7, 8, 9,10, 11, 12, 13 and 19 are already gone. Prospectus available by emailing keith@houndsrlfc.com 

There will be other incentives on offer for sponsors including reduced beverage prices at  home games for those with 4 or more shares and a special photo with the team as a keepsake.

Purtell Upgrade on Schedule

 

The Council have moved quickly to complete the refurbishment of the main oval at Purtell Park.

There have already been thousands of metres of fill poured on to the old surface, effectively raising the playing field by over a metre.

If work continues at this rate, the field may even be ready for playing on earlier than expected and the Hounds may get to trial on the new surface.

Doug Lulham celebrated his 90th birthday at the club in August. At this stage he will be attending the NOBs Day for a short while so if you missed the celebration, say hello at the Alderley on 11th October.
