Under 7 – Junior Training 9th February

Great News Under 7’s just cause the rest of us are off in Pt Elliot preparing for the Carnival doesn’t mean you won’t have a training session.

Yes, Training will continue as usual for you with Muster at the usual time of 12:45pm with Cathy your Age Group Manager and Ashleigh.

Theres a few loose ends to tie up but I’m sure that I can find the right volunteers to ensure this can all go-ahead.
