CLOTHING… Hopefully you have all now seen the clothing range which was emailed this week. We have some items for perusal in the office. Orders can be taken and once we received 10 or more items we can place the order. Payment must be made at the time of ordering. Please contact the office on 9523 4343 if you have any questions. Nipper parents who are bronze holders and IRB drivers are MOST welcome to be attend rostered patrols at any time. We are always looking to boost our numbers on patrol and, as we have many nipper parents who are bronze holders, it would be great to see you on patrol! Maybe your child is on a patrol? This could be something you could do together. If anyone is interested please contact the office on 9523 4343 and we can help you out.
