Netball news
After a frosty start to the day, it was great to see everyone safe and back at junior netball after the three week break for the holidays.
A big shout out to all of the parents, friends and players who helped out with cleaning the bird’s mess, scoring, putting up and taking down the post pads and packing up the bibs and balls into the bags.
Your help was very much appreciated, and thank you.
A reminder that there will be no netball training this coming Friday or games this Saturday due to the Women’s Masters Hockey tournament being held at the complex over the weekend.
As a result, we have extended the season out by a week for all grades. Please ensure that you check our Facebook page for updates on dates and times.

A working bee ws held at the end of this shoot and we got all the eyebrow baffling fitted. Only small adjustments have to be made to clear the department of sport and recreational grant. Our next shoot is Sunday, July 30 at 10am. It will be ordinary targets at both rangers. With the current amnesty now on, you can gift or sell unregistered firearms to a licensed person provide the transfer goes through a firearms dealer who will register it for them. Any ammo can be handed into our club out at the range each weekend.
