As the season approaches we will be holding a coaches and managers meeting on Thursday 2 September at 7.30pm at Hawks on Second, Second Ave, Eastwood.

All junior and senior coaches and managers are asked to attend. There are some important issues for the Club which we will be discussing. Ideally, we would like both the coach and manager for each team to attend, but if both is not possible, then at least one should be there.
