After only two people turned up to the first AGM, another meeting was held on Monday, September 19 with enough people for a quorum.
Stephen Cootes remains President with Scott Meale Vice President and Adam New Treasurer.
This is unchanged from last year.
Extra hands are always needed and Mr Meale said anyone keen to join the committee will be most welcome.
As per last season the women’s and men’s competitions will kick things off with women to play Wednesday night and the men on Thursdays.
The women’s competition will commence on Wednesday, October 26 with the men to start the following day on Thursday, October 26.
The unisex competition will follow with round one set down for Monday, November 7.
Nomination forms for all three competitions are now available.
Pick up a form from the South West Slopes Credit Union, the Central Hotel, the Family Hotel and the Cootamundra Ex Services Club.
Nominations close on Monday, October 17 for the men’s and women’s competitions and on Monday, October 31 for the unisex competition.
Mr Meale said the format of each competition will be sorted once the number of teams is finalised.
He anticipates it will be similar to last season.
Meanwhile, a new coordinator is needed for the 2017 Cootamundra Unisex Touch Football Carnival.
Longtime coordinator Tisha McTavish has stood down from the role, opening the door for another motivated person to take it on.
The carnival has been held in January each year for 32 years.
It attracts people from far and wide and benefits local businesses, motels, hotels and petrol stations with expenditure from participants.
Mr Meale said the Cootamundra Touch Association is looking to another sporting group, rather than another individual to take on the running of the carnival.
