Well 2012 is upon us, and we're not far away from starting the building extensions. We don't have an actual commencement date as yet, but are hoping that work will commence before the end of January.

The artistic view of the new building below has been on our website for some time now.

We now also invite you to view the Proposed Floor Plan of Stage 1 of the building renovations, as they have been provided to us recently.

We will be communicating further with all our members and sponsors to keep you informed, as soon as we have something substantial to report, and more importantly, invite our members and sponsors to participate in the the various stages of construction.

As part of of planning and preparation for 2012 season, we are asking all senior division players to take a few minutes to provide us with your current details from the appropriate link below. This information is important for a couple of reasons - to ensure we have your latest contact details at our disposal and to minimise time taken when you are actually required to register to play with the club for 2012 season, which we will be asking all senior div players to complete in February and March.

We ask that all players that are currently training, particularly if you are from another club, that you do this too.

When you click on the link below, you will be directed to a page which has multiple options. There are 3 options for senior division players :

Senior Players, Under 19 Players & Under 18 Players.

Please select the option that is correct for you. If Under 18/19 players are uncertain about the correct age group, use these dates as your guide : D.O.B. between 01/07/1993 and 31/12/1995 = Under 18, D.O.B. between 01/07/1992 and 31/12/1993 = Under 19. Please note that these dates are for our records, it does not mean that, in the case of U18 by age, will necessarily only play U18.

If you have any questions about this, please call Robert Twentyman 0417 122 026. Please take care to ensure details are correct.
