With great sadness, Musketeers has lost Life Member, former President, coach (& countless other roles), John “Chipsy” Howells. A dedicated member of the club for many years with wife Janette and children, Amanda & Daniel, he will be very sadly missed. Our deepest condolences to you all.
RIP Chipsy
Surfers Paradise Baseball Club and the wider Baseball Queensland community honours the life Wayne Dyer who has passed away after a battle with cancer. The Dyer family have been active members of our club and Wayne in particular, a wonderful contributor to the Gold Coast baseball community. Including as a past President of the Runaway Bay Dolphins Baseball Club, numerous terms on the Surfers Paradise Baseball committee, an umpire of many games and the inaugural Treasurer of the Gold Coast Baseball Officials Association. Our thoughts are with Wayne’s family Petrece, Brandon and Jenna.

After Friday’s Special General Meeting, the BQ Board are asking for Club Presidents to nominate, to their applicable Regional President, a delegate who has expressed interest in participating in the Constitution Review Subcommittee, to be headed by a Baseball QLD Board Director yet to be determined.
Each Regional Committee will then nominate one (1) member for appointment to the committee to be ratified by the Board of Baseball QLD. The subcommittee with the appointed responsible Director will be included in finalising the subcommittee’s terms of reference for approval by the Board. I have attached a draft terms of reference document to assist with an understanding of the type of work the committee will be tasked with. These terms of reference will be reviewed by the committee once appointed, with the Board considering any recommended changes put forward by the subcommittee.
The Subcommittee will then present recommendations to the Board and Regional Delegates to be ratified through a Special General Meeting in the future.
Given the nature of the task, the ideal candidates will have experience or expertise in Corporate Governance, Operating Not for Profit Organisations and an understanding of the current structure of Baseball Queensland.
Regional Presidents, please email gareth@baseballqld.asn.au with your nominations by COB 10 August 2020.

The Active Restart Infrastructure Recovery Fund provides not-for-profit sport and recreation organisations with funding for minor upgrade, repair or maintenance works and equipment to assist in re-engaging Queenslanders in physical activity.
The program is part of the Queensland Government’s $51.3 million Sport and Recreation COVID SAFE Restart Plan.
Whether it’s marquees for a fundraising event, white goods for the canteen, or a fresh coat of paint for the clubhouse, the Queensland Government is supporting up to 3,000 clubs with funding to improve their facilities and purchase relevant equipment to encourage Queenslanders to return to play.
The Active Restart Infrastructure Recovery Fund provides funding of up to $20,000 per organisation for minor upgrades, repairs and maintenance works and equipment to help re-engage Queenslanders in physical activity.
Projects may include the purchase of equipment to deliver new activities or events, assist in facility maintenance, or reduce operational costs.
Priorities for the program will be to share funding equally between Regional and South East Queensland, across activities and on those projects that will benefit as many clubs and participants as possible.
An email will be sent to all clubs who are registered with Sport and Recreation to receive updates but we would also appreciate you promoting the program throughout your networks. State or National sport and recreation bodies are not eligible to apply under this program.
