AGM and Gencon

It is that time of year again where we have to get together and elect a management committee to run things carrying us forward into next year. The current committee is President: Adam Horsten (elected) Vice President: Christian Garcia (elected) Treasurer: Wulfhure Daelman (elected) Secretary: Simon Feeney (elected) Any financial member can nominate an ordinary member for the management committee (only ordinary members can benominated). A list of all paid up members and their type of membership will be available HERE. Nomination forms are available in the files section of meetup, if you wish to nominate an ordinary member for a committee poition fill out the form, have someone second the motion and get it to a committee member at least a week prior to the AGM. There are three elected positions (listed above) The AGM will be an open meeting for all financial members to come vote for the committee and discuss where we are going to take Jugger over the next year. Also.... Congratulations to Shay who put up his hand and bravely volunteered to help organise the jugger booth at Gencon this year.... Plenty of work going around the event so if you are eager to help out either at the booth or preperations for the con contact one of the management committee or Shay and see what work you can help with - the more help we get the better we can make this and the better it is the more Juggers we will attract...and you all know how much fun the game is, why deny people the joy of being converted to Jugger ;)   Adam

Site Updates

Greetings all, it has been far too long but finally the site is updated and operational again - The links to the meeup site have been updated to reflect changes by meetup.com - most important they work once again There are now 2 new galleries up for February and Mark of '09 so dive in and take a look.

The time has come...

Yes fellow Juggers it is indeed time after much planning the first Australian Jugger team to play in Germany will be flying out on Wednesday of this week to take part in the Berlin Tournament on Saturday and Sunday (13th-14th of September). Starting on Friday of this week the Austrlian Juggers will be touring Germany playing Jugger and getting to know the German teams while finding out just how the game is played in Europe. As part of the tour we will be visiting teams in Berlin, Hamburg, Bad Oldesloe, Luneburg and Dublin also with some luck we will be catching up with Dragon's Blood (the Bavarian team) at the Oktoberfest in Munich. The first group of Juggers to go is Simon (fiend), ET, Ian, Wendy, Adam, Christian, Glenn, Garth, Nick . Krys will be coming along to take photos and provide morale support by mocking us and Pille will be meeting us in Berlin. That's 9 Juggers, and a total group of 11, for our first ever international game which is a fantastic start. So over the next few weeks keep an eye on here for news as well as the links in the links section to the left where I've put up links to Blogs and a google map of the trip.With 32 teams registered for the tournament - this is at least 160 Juggers more if you take into account subs, refs and spectators....this is going to be a great experience.

Jugger... Now availalbe in Costa Rica

Greetings all, just a short news post this time I have been contacted this week by a new Jugger group in Costa Rica. Just 3 teams at present playing in Costa Rica but as with everywhere else the important thing is Jugger is being played. For Anyone who is not so crash hot with Geography here is the Wiki on Costa Rica. Alejandro who contacted me has promised an update soon with Pictures and Video of their games.

Hey all, the Jugger shirts have arrived and will be ready for pick up at the game on Sunday, here is a pic of the final product - click on the red highlights to see a detailed image. IF YOU HAVE ORDERED A SHIRT BUT HAVE NOT YET PAID PLEASE BRING THE MONEY ON SUNDAY

If you missed out on a shirt and would really like one there is a chance of a second print run. If there is enough interest to print 12 shirts or more we can order another batch. So if after looking at the pics or the shirts on Sunday please let Adam know so we can gauge interest and organise another print run if people would like one.

Official Business ... then back to the fun

In October of 2007 we took a big step for jugger and incorporated as a not for profit association, the Australian Jugger League. This step was taken to help us better organise the game locally in order to spread the word of jugger and better organise the sport. So how does this effect you all, first offer financial membership (which is voluntary). The money from these memberships  is used to cover the cost of organising the game and to help pay for promotions, such as the booth at Gencon. Financial members are encourage to take an active role in organising the game in various ways helping out at games and assisting in organising promotional events to recruit new players as well as various other important things that need to be done with keeping things organised an running smoothly. Each year other than ordinary meetings we are required to call an Annual General Meeting (AGM) to discuss the activities of the year, report to members and to elect the management committee. This years AGM will be held on the last weekend of August, all members are invited to attend, current members will need to renew membership and new members are invited to sign up if they would like to attend the meeting. Details of membership is available through the 'Join the League' link or at games If you would like more information drop a line through the e-mail link at the right or HERE or post your questions on the forum

MAY 14 - Welcome to the New Site

Greetings all and welcome to the shiny new site for the Australian Jugger League. A lot has happened since our site first went up on the 29th of Febuary 2004 and it has become rather dated over the years. Since our site first went live we have grown quite a bit: The Brisbane Juggers have gone through two fields before settling in the Current Location of New Farm Park The Melbourne Juggers have been runing and steadily building for nearly two years now Our first Australian team will be haeding over to Germany and Ireland to play Jugger for the first time internationally and many more plans are steadily coming to fruition for the future of the game
