Join a great local soccer club

Golden City Soccer Club is looking for new players.

We’re an inclusive, family friendly club and we are looking for players from all age levels and experience to play this season starting in April. All are welcome!

We have teams for all age levels and abilities. We have all-girl teams at most age levels and have 42% female membership in our juniors. Soccer is a great sport for girls and the FIFA Women’s World Cup will be held in Australia and New Zealand in 2023.

Our junior season starts after the Easter school break and runs for 16 weeks. Junior games are played on Saturday mornings on small-sided pitches with modified rules to make the games inclusive, engaging and fun. Training takes place once a week at our home ground, Shadforth Park, Fenton Street, North Bendigo.

Strikers Netball Club

We have had a few girls drop out who have gone to another club where more of their friends are playing. Unfortunately it has left us short players, so I am putting a call out for some others.

The age is for 15& under so they could be aged 12-15 (must turn 15 this year)

If you are interested in playing for Strikers please contact strikernetball@gmail.com

Thank you

SNAKE BITE FIRST AID

Snake activity has increased throughout the Loddon Mallee region following the floods. If you find a snake, do not panic. Step backfrom it slowly and allow it to proceed on its way. Do not touch the snake. Call the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning on 136 186 for a list of snake catchers in your area.

If you are bitten by a snake:

do not wash the skin around the bite
keep still and get urgent medical help by calling 000
lie down or sit with the bite below the level of your heart
cover the area with a clean and dry dressing. If available, a firm bandage around the area where the bite occurred is also recommended
note the time of the bite and when the bandage was put on
do not apply a tourniquet, cut the bite to release the venom or try to suck the venom out of the wound

MOSQUITOES

There are a lot of mosquities in the Loddon Mallee region in the wake of the recent flooding. Mosquitoes in our region can carry viruses that cause disease including Ross River virus, Murray Valley encephalitis virus, and Japenese encephalitis virus.

Symptoms common to most diseases carried by mosquitoes are fever, rash, joint and muscle aches, headache and fatigue.

If you have any of these symptoms, you should seek medical advice.

Protect yourself by:

Using mosquito repellent
Wearing long, loose-fitting clothing
Mosquito-proofing your home and yard
