VBA Social Sub-Committee Announcement

Strengthening Our Community:

The Victorian Backgammon Association Committee is thrilled to announce the official establishment of the VBA Social Sub-Committee.

Formally adopted by the main Committee under Rule 42(3)(b), this dedicated team has been created to plan, organise, and deliver fantastic social events and activities. Their mission is to encourage member participation, bring casual players into the fold, and strengthen our wonderful backgammon community.

Meet Your Sub-Committee

We are pleased to introduce the five appointed members who have volunteered their time to make our social calendar exceptional:

• Chair: Josie Symons
• Secretary/Treasurer: Amina Lairini
• Members: Alison Lam, Eleni Alvertis, and Maricar Mahilum

Looking Ahead: The Club Christmas Party

While the Sub-Committee will be organising various social activities throughout the year, their primary focus for 2026 is our flagship event: the annual Club Christmas Party.

Further details regarding tickets, catering, and activities for the Christmas Party will be announced in the coming months. The Sub-Committee is actively planning ways to make this a fantastic celebration for everyone while keeping ticket costs accessible.

Get Involved

We want to extend a huge thank you to Josie, Amina, Alison, Eleni, and Maricar for stepping up to lead this initiative. A strong club is built on community, and we can't wait to see what they have in store.

Please join us in congratulating the new Sub-Committee! If you have ideas for social events, or would like to volunteer to help out at the Christmas Party, please reach out to any of the Sub-Committee members at our next tournament or club night.
