Juniors perform at Southport

Congratulations to all of our juniors who competed at Southport on Sunday. It was excellent to see such great team spirit being demonstrated throughout the day. Well done to our Under 8’s who competed for the first time in a full day of events. Thank you to all of our volunteers and parent helpers who supported the event.

Upcoming Training Opportunities

All Aboard!
