Thursday, 26 August 2010 Work starts 29th August All hands on deck for 2010-11 ! We need your help! Plans for the coming season are well underway and as usual there's a heap of work to be done...... The season doesn't start when the first pitch is thrown but weeks before when a dedicated group of volunteers starts the labourious process of getting the grounds into shape. Following Come & Try this Sunday we're hoping to make a big start, following up on Sep 5th and 12th when the fence starts to go up again. Come along and see the same old faces as the Grounds come in for some much needed attention! (That's the grounds, not the faces......well, maybe some of the faces) There will be snags and drinks around if the kids leave us any, Ground Crew auditions will be held throughout the afternoon.

Thursday, 26 August 2010 Election Day sausage sizzle a big success. Well done to all who gave their time at short notice to man the sausage sizzle at the Largs Bay Primary on Election day. Thank you to the school for allowing us access, to Anne & Grantley Weinert for securing our spot, organising stock and putting in a full day! In excess of $1200 dollars was raised on the day, arguably the most positive result to date from the Federal Election!
