Club Championships Map 2014-15

As you can see from the program this will be a busy but fun-filled afternoon.  As a result we are asking for ALL competitors be at the club ready to go by 12pm (only a little earlier than usual for the Juniors).

By holding a whole of club Club Champs day the Juniors will have a chance to watch the Senior group ‘in action’ and  the Seniors will have an opportunity to support the Junior squads.

With the program not likely to wind up until approximately 5pm a sausage sizzle along with bottled water and iceblocks will be provided on the beach from 3pm.

The day doesn’t end with the competition though!

Stay at the club and enjoy Valentine’s Day evening with wood oven pizzas (at a small cost), a few drinks and the entertainment provided by a jukebox/karaoke machine (which is sure to provide a few laughs!!).

Let’s make this a ‘Clubbies’ day/night to remember!!!
