Club Sponsors

The club is located within a heritage site and, as such, signage promoting our sponsors is not permitted. The only coverage our sponsors have is in the clubhouse with the pull-up banners and TV reel, therefore it is important that it is showing at each home game.

Please, when on inside duty, turn the TV on to promote our sponsors. If you are unsure how to locate the USB, please ask.

Country Carnival Update

Many thanks to everyone who has willingly volunteered to help. Rosters will be available in due course.
