Member Update 3rd September 2021
Dear Glen Eira FC members,
REMAINDER of SEASON CANCELLED
Trusting every one of our members is safe and well in our current lockdown. As most of you know Football Victoria has announced today at 3 pm that the remainder of the 2021 season has been cancelled for all metropolitan Melbourne competitions:
– NPL Women’s (NPLW including Senior & U19)
– Victorian Premier League Women’s
– Women’s State League
– NPL Junior Girls
– NPL Junior Boys
– NPL Men’s (NPL NPL2, NPL3, including Senior, U21 and U19)
– Men’s State League
– Men’s Metropolitan & Masters
– Metropolitan Community Juniors (U12-U21)
– Metropolitan MiniRoos (U7-U11)
This is of course very disappointing as Football is a ‘Winter Sport’ and most of you will be aware that our home grounds, Lord Reserve and Mackie Road Reserve will be handed over for use by local cricket clubs in just a few weeks.
SUMMER FOOTBALL
The committee has already been working very closely with Stewart Howell our General Manager and Darren Tan our Community Technical Director on how and where we can offer our Members Football over the summer months. More on this to come next week as we secure facilities and finalise our plans for a ‘Summer Football Program’.
REFUNDS
In regards to potential refunds for your 2021 Membership Fees, Football Victoria has clearly stated that they will inform clubs by the 17th of September of their plans to refund a component of the fees that have been paid to Football Victoria and Football Australia. I commit to you that Glen Eira FC will communicate its own refund policy as soon as possible after we receive this information.
STAYING ENGAGED
We all look forward to being able to enjoy the game we love when it is safe to do so. In the meantime, please continue to enjoy Football as best you can. Whether that be refining your juggling and wall passes, watching all the international football and leagues back in action.
You can even enjoy a little FIFA online competition with your teammates by joining FV’s inaugural E-Series. 
Stay Safe, Stay Well, Stay engaged in the Beautiful Game.

As it currently stands, we hope to be back playing matches on September 4th/5th, 11th/12th and 18th/19th.
Football Victoria is also in discussions with Cricket Victoria and local Councils to see if the season can be extended into the school holidays and possibly beyond. Let me know if you think this is a good or a bad idea.

Membership Fees
Second Instalments Now Due
Due to the uncertainty at the start of the season, we only asked you to pay for 50% of the annual Club Membership Fee for Season 2021.
Furthermore the overwhelming majority of returning players were able to pay for this first instalment by using a ClubKeeper credit voucher they were carrying from the cancelled season 2020. In other words most players have managed to register for no cost so far this year.
The second 50% of the 2021 Club Membership Fee is now due.
