Dear All
Thank you to all of our junior and senior teams and Blackburn members for their support with our Major Raffle which was drawn on Saturday at the Christmas Party. The Club raised approximately $1,500 through the efforts of many people. A big thank you to junior Team Managers and Eddie Lee for their follow up in getting the tickets and money back – well done everyone.
We are delighted to announce our winners who hopefully can enjoy Christmas even more now:-
1st Prize – Matthew Tait
2nd Prize – Mick McCoy
3rd Prize – Scott Fulton
We also had a $150 prize for the person who sold the most tickets, and after selling a massive $160 worth of tickets, Matthew Tait had a well deserved “double win”, a great effort Matt, congratulations.
Last Saturday night saw the Blackburn contingent gather for the Family Christmas Party and despite the weather looking ominous, a great night was had by all. The feedback from the parents we spoke to were glowing in their praise of the night. It was great to see so many kids around the club enjoying the night, and this is a function the Club is especially keen for to grow each year.
This was a joint effort by many of the committee members, and it was really pleasing to see each of them put in on Saturday night to get the many “little jobs” done, and to Turk and Ian for their culinary skills with the BBQ cooking. Thanks also to those who helped with the canteen and cleaning on they day so that we could concentrate on setting up on the Christmas Party – A REAL CLUB EFFORT.
Senior Players – Training this Thursday
Grant Coller will be attending training on Thursday to do some coaching and we encourage all players to attend to make the most of this opportunity. You will certainly benefit from the experience.
We wish all of our teams the best for the final round of cricket for 2008 and hope every member has a safe Christmas and enjoys a well earned break, ready to fire back in 2009 ready to begin the second half of the season, striving for a finals berth.
Regards
Tom Cullen & Lisa Robertson
