Availability lists have been placed on the whiteboard in the clubrooms. Please indicate which matches you will be available for by ticking the dates against your name. Place a cross on the dates to indicate where you are not available. If your name has been omitted or incorrectly displayed, please adjust accordingly.
I encourage you to participate in as many as possible because most are on grass in a variety of locations. Grass play was a request in the survey and this is one way we are responding.
Renovation Works Update
Plumbing is taking shape, air conditioning is well on the way. Once the underfloor plumbing has been completed, pouring the new floor will be next. The area was once an office, ladies' locker room and toilets and an accessible toilet.

Sunday Morning Hire
Can members please note that from Sunday 10 August the Redeemer Church will be hiring the clubhouse from 7:30am to 12:30pm for a service every Sunday (except for a limited number of occasions when certain club events have priority).
When the upgrade project is finished access to the storage area for mats and jacks will be available, but until then we ask that members keep out of the clubhouse at this time. It will still be possible to have a bowl by using mats from the water hut.
