On Thursday, August 23, 2018, our membership was called to a Special General Meeting to outline details of a new project beginning in October 2018 to upgrade the soccer fields and bocce courts on our grounds at 166 Green Mountain Road East.
Members in attendance were shown the plans and unanimously voted to move ahead with the proposal – the #GMRturfproject.
Benefits of new soccer fields
Currently our soccer fields can be used from June to September
A new turf playing surface would allow our teams to use the fields from March to December
Our older rep teams cannot use our current fields, nor can our men’s or women’s teams
New fields can be used by all ages for training, especially with the planned lighting
Current fields are not playable if it rains
Turf fields can be played on even when it’s raining
Maintenance requirements are time consuming (cutting grass, fertilizing, watering, painting lines, etc.)
Turf fields require very little maintenance – brushing once a month, and deep grooming as required
Current fields would need major upgrades – drainage, added topsoil, and new sod, or switch to turf (investment needed)
Our soccer program is very healthy and growing!
In 2011 we had five youth boys teams, one youth girls, and 86 co-ed house league kids
In 2018 we fielded 12 boys, three girls, and 198 co-ed house league
Benefits of the new bocce courts
Current courts are not playable if it rains at any point on scheduled game days
Turf courts can be played on even while it is raining
Maintenance requirements are time consuming (leveling surface, dewatering, brushing, etc.)
Turf courts have very little maintenance – brush them weekly, roll them every 2-3 months
Current courts are in need of a complete upgrade
Leagues could expand with the addition of a fifth court
Project timeline
Work would begin in early October of this year (drainage, curbs, fencing and bleacher pads before winter)
Poles and lighting would also be done in the fall
Turf installation would take place in the spring along with any grass and asphalt repairs and other final touches
The entire project would be completed by Spring 2019
All leagues would start on time – end of May/beginning of June

An official notice to all members of our organization that on Thursday, August 23, 2018, the Executive Committee of the Croatian Sports and Community Centre of Hamilton has called a Special General Meeting (SGM).
The purpose of the SGM is to update members during an in-person meeting on the plans in proceeding with a major project that would take place on our grounds. The project is focused on improvements to our current grounds and sports facilities – we are excited to share more information with you on August 23.
At this meeting, club president Mark Vuksan will walk members through the plans, drawings, budget and other information that we have available. We will also ensure that there is ample time for all of your questions and feedback and ask members whether they are supportive of this project by calling for a vote from those in attendance.
The meeting should be adjourned within 2 hours (men’s bocce is still on that night – revised times will be communicated shortly).
Meeting Details:
* Thursday, August 23, 2018 @ 6:00 p.m.
* Banquet Hall – 166 Green Mountain Road East, Stoney Creek
* Invite open to all members
Following the August 23 SGM, there will be a Veza sent to summarize the events of the meeting. The Veza will then be the regular means of communicating with members while work on the project is underway. However, if you have any additional questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to email Jason Grbavac at jsgrbavac@gmail.com either prior to or anytime after the SGM.
We look forward to seeing as many members as possible on Thursday, August 23 as we believe that your input is important for us to continue improving our Croatian community centre and overall enjoyment of our members and guests for many years to come!
