Posted by Vince Greco at Apr 2, 2015 11:17PM PDT ( 0 Comments )

Folks, just to make sure everybody is on board.

Banquet is coming up, on Friday April 10, 6 pm cocktails at Distrikt in the Strath – hopefully people have contacted Geri Dickson to get tickets. ( geridickson@shaw.ca ) If you have an award winner, they will be receiving a free ticket.

BC Provincial Cup is fast approaching – here is the go to website for all info: http://adultprovincials.bcsoccer.net/home
I will have game day roster forms with me at all times as well as at the banquet…..or you can use the forms that are on the BC Soccer website and even fill them in online I believe.
Finals are Sun May 10 at Willoughby in the FVSL zone.

If you owe $, please clean it up now for year end.

The AGM is Monday May 25/2015, 7 pm in Distrikt at the Strath.
If you would like to see anything on the agenda, or if you have a proposal for a rule change – please forward as per the rules & regs to me by Sat April 18/2015.

Thanks for a great set of Cup Finals, hope to see people supporting teams in Provincials.

All VISL teams have been determined and are being submitted to BC Soccer.

For teams involved, please go through the rules and make sure you are aware of what is expected…..especially submitting your home game info as those requirements have changed a lot.

Draw is Monday March 30 in Langley. I plan on attending, and all are welcome for the 7 pm start time in Langley.
The plan is for the draw to be streamed as well, stay tuned to the BC Soccer website for info.

Good luck to all VISL teams, hoping for some home games !
