Hi everyone,

Things are starting to happen again so I will be able to start sending out the newsletters a bit more regularly.

We have only 2 weeks before our Holiday training camp & 4 weeks before we start training and playing. Holiday camp starts week of 29^th July and term 3 training starts week of 13^th July with first games on Friday night 17^th July.

Our training camp is popular so if you are interested please send us an email before it fills up as we don’t want to see anyone miss out. We have gone to MacGregor State School and asked if any of the children there would like to attend as the school is helping us out so please don’t leave it to the last minute as we may be full.

Over the next week we will be updating our training schedule on our web site – I don’t believe there will be any training time changes but we just want to help everyone remember when their training was. We will also have our Jackets & Hoodies up on the web site so you can pay by credit card for them and I can drop them off or you can pick them up from me in Eight Mile Plains and try them on first.

We have been posting photos of the families when they got their jackets on Instagram & Facebook (there are links on our home page) – some of the kids have even been sleeping in them. They do look really good.

There will be a couple of little changes with training when we come back, we would like everyone to enter in one door & exit the other, we will have hand sanitiser there & after the training if we could leave the hall as soon as training has finished that would be appreciated. We are happy for everyone to catch up outside but we are just trying to reduce the numbers inside because we have seen how busy it gets when we have a few sessions of training going. I don’t believe it will be too much of a change for all of us but just a couple of little things to be mindful of.

The plan at the moment is that games will have 20 minutes between them and Southwest will clean things down during that time, so we may have a few more later games but I will keep you informed about things when we are about to start. We have all seen how things change so that is the plan at the moment. I don’t know if we will have any more changes but I don’t think so and I am very comfortable about how things are going. We will have a great second half of the year with Basketball.

We are starting to plan some things for the rest of the year and I should be able to give you more information in the next few weeks.

If you would like to see any previous Newsletters they are all available by looking on our web page under "Notices"

I would also like to welcome our new members for term 3 – 2020.
