NEWSLETTER ROUND 5
Last Sunday was a nominated day for gala days within the region and what a spectacular success it was at Cawley Park for our annual Luke Kerr Memorial Gala Day. Thank you to all players, parents and supporters of the Under 8 Teams for your wonderful contribution to a very successful day for the Club! We also had our under 7’s play down at Albion Park and they had a great day and loads of fun as well. Well done to both age groups and parents and supporters!
Upgrades at Cawley Park
Electrical work has been undertaken over the last few days which has brought our electrical systems up to today’s standards. With this update, our switch for lights for main fields will now be located outside of sheds in locked metal case. This switch was originally found in the western sheds. Steve Smart and myself will co-ordinate cutting of padlock key and distribution to those who need to gain access to switch for night time training and games. This will occur over the next few days. Also we have had benches placed in the main field technical areas for the comfort of players and coaches. The Committee is considering options for covering of these areas at the moment.
Club Merchandise Sales
Great to see Tony Maddox our equipment officer taking plenty of orders for our range of club merchandise again last weekend. With the weather cooling down now is the time to look at our range Club jackets and beanies and also this year with the help of Jen Bray our new Club Scarf which can be purchased at the canteen for the low price of $8.00!!
