 YOUR HELP IS NEEDED

There are a number of ways that you can help the Club and help the summer competition run smoothly. All help no matter how great or small is highly appreciated.

  1. We need volunteers to help out on shield competition days. This may involve helping to record results or measuring throws or raking a sandpit. If you can help please let us know and we will organise a roster. Even if you can just help once for a few hours, let us know.
  2. We need team managers! This is not an onerous task, but it does mean being present for the whole afternoon on most weeks of shield competition. Please let us know if you can help.
  3. The white zone needs a scorer. This is a paid position. ($80 for each round of shield). If you are interested we can send you the job description.
