Getting closer to season openers with Training starting for all
this Monday Evening (9th Feb).
Juniors should gather to meet the Coaches by 5.00 and Seniors ready to go at 6.00pm.
On Tuesday evening this week we heard Glenn Meredith and Leanne Currie speaking on Radio station SMASH FM.
They were both naturals and spoke to the sporting public about our Great Club and shared their thoughts on how we are heading in 2015 and beyond.
Fantastic that the club was able to get some form of publicity and I would really like to thank Leanne and Rub for doing the interview and thanks to Gaz for organising it.
Here is a link that will take you to the Interview from Tuesday .
You will need to Listen for a while as they speak to others before Leanne and Glenn come on but it is really worth the wait.
Please find the interview link here (INTERVIEW @ 26.10min MARK):
