Travel for Interclub Matches

Further to the message about travel to games, the Committee offer as a recommendation the following amounts to help with fuel costs:

$5 for travel within Christchurch City

$10 for outside the City limits

$20 if your game is in the country, e.g Ashburton

Availability to Play Interclub

Would playing members please make sure that any expected unavailability is posted on the board in the locker room at least a week before. This really helps out the Selectors. Organising last minute changes is never easy. But we also understand that sometimes you can't anticipate your availability.

Kitchen Roster

Saturday Lunches

Could we please seek names to Jill from members who wish to go on a roster to make sandwiches and rolls on a Friday afternoon at 3pm at the Club. These provide lunches, alongside pies and toasties for our members on a Saturday.

A big thank you to Jazz and Sandra who have run the kitchen and sales in previous years and are no longer able to do so. It's been a fantastic help, taking the pressure off players. We are very grateful. 

A big welcome back to Jenny who has offered and is very keen to run the kitchen. You will see her from 11am on Saturdays. Thank you Jenny.
