NETBALL
Dear Netball Families,
Thank you for the season's Pizza presentation afternoon held on Monday 31st October. Big thanks to Alex Steinbeck, Jacinta Thomas and Em Lloyd who organised the afternoon. The netball AGM will be in the next few weeks after I get back from Canberra (and catch up on sleep!). I will do it via Zoom. All positions are declared vacant. Honestly, there is not a lot involved - please help out as many hands make light work!
