Ask them why the superstore is Barren Sharon.

Ask them why the superstore is Barren Sharon.
Few of reasons
One, they've simple run out of stuff due to winning the flag. Demand much greater than what they thought it would be
two, change in major sponsor on the back of the jumper means new stock wasn't coming in until Nov
Three; Puma outing new proper full range for season 2018 is on it's way. Need to remember we hardly had anything this year due to the rush when BLK went into administration

Thats probably not the type of question to ask @ an AGM
Thats up there with the lady complaining about the players being late @ training a couple of years ago & the idiot person asking Peggy to "address the elephant in the room" that was chopstick gate

Do the current Premiership get awarded with Life Membership on the night ?
Might be the best free event of the year for members if they are

I would have voted for O'Rourke and Powell anyway. I feel they could be great future contributors even potential Presidential material.

Richmond awarded life membership to three valued stalwarts of the Club at its 2017 Annual General Meeting held this evening.
Past player and current president of Richmond’s Former Players and Officials Association Peter Williams, hard-working, popular trainer throughout the Tigers’ golden era from the late 1960s to the early 1980s (and well beyond that), Tom O’Donnell, and the Club’s long-time resident journalist Tony Greenberg, have become the latest recipients of the prestigious honour of life membership at Tigerland.

Resolution of the 2 amendments to the constitution was passed by a huge margin
100 signatures can no longer trigger an EGM

About 200+ people were at @Richmond_FC AGM tonight
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DQvueW0UQAI7Jku.jpg)
John O'Rourke and Joe Powell were elected to 3 years.
Rob Dalton gave the financial report:
A member question about paragraph 7, page 13 financial report. He finds it ambiguous. Dalton says nothing to report/add to that paragraph
Member question, asking for details on club and leisure division. Is it profitable? Dalton: We had a small loss of $50,000.
Stephen Mayne question..no need to fleece punters anymore. The club doesnt need po-kies anymore does it... Dalton: All our business is under constant review. We do make contributions to the community. Our strategy is to build other forms of revenue
DALTON again : Im confident we will resolve our po-ker machine strategy in the near future
A query about whether the club and WWF could do something together. (Sadly not the old wrestling organisation)
A query about the redevelopment of the ground. Peggy: "we hope to have some drawings to sure in first quarter of next year"

Can anyone tell me who the Alice Wills winners were?
I knew who a few were
But couldn’t work out who the two ladies were and who they represented on the night
Seemed odd ?

Libby Callanan.
Richmond honours Libby’s Tigerish efforts
Melanie Whelan
Ballarat Courier
8 January 2018
IT MAY be a new year but this is still the year of the Tiger for Richmond supporters – and Ballarat’s Libby Callanan has an added personal reason to keep celebrating after the club’s roaring AFL premiership win.
Ms Callanan has collected what her son has referred to as perhaps the only award Tiger star Dustin Martin did not win this year.
Richmond Football Club has recognised Ms Callanan as one of the inaugural Alice Wills Award recipients for her tireless tigerish volunteer efforts.
For more than a decade, Ms Callanan has coordinated buses to ferry fans to the Tigers’ AFL for Ballarat Tigers Supporters Group.
Supporter numbers on the bus fluctuate according to how the Tigers are performing but Ms Callanan said it was important to keep a constant service. There were waiting lists last season as the Tigers clawed their way to the club’s first AFL premiership in 37 years.
Ballarat Tigers put Ms Callanan’s name forward for the new service awarded with Richmond wanting to recognise parochial behind-the-scenes support in a special ceremony at the club’s annual general meeting last month.
This was also the first chance Ms Callanan and her family had to hold the coveted Holy Grail.
“It’s such a proud moment...They read out my nomination and I shook hands with Peggy (Richmond president Peggy O’Neal,” Ms Callanan said.
“I knew Alice (Wills) in 60s and 70s when we’re queue up for finals tickets and she was the one giving ou the tickets. Alice was a tireless worker – anything Richmond wanted doing she did.”
Ballarat Tigers Supporters Group has been running about 25 years and is one of the city’s longest continuous running AFL supporters groups in the city.
The group runs buses to home games from Victoria Bowling Club with raffles on the way. Ms Callanan said it was an easy, casual way for families or solo supporters to get to a game without negotiating traffic or public transport.
Her own family maintains a meeting point tradition near Punt Road so they could walk to the ground together.
AFL Grand Final Day was a slight change of plans. The supporters group opted to make their own way to the game so they could each savour every moment in their own time – and Ms Callanan did not have to worry about rounding up supporters in the wake of victory.
“(The premiership) has been like a dream...the training vibe was real good when we were there,” Ms Callanan said. “As long as they keep that going.”
