Smash Cricket for Women and Girls is back at Eildon Park
Smash Cricket is back at Eildon Park again this summer and commences Monday 16th November at 6 o'clock. There are 4 sessions before Xmas and another 4 in the New Year post the Australia Day weekend and with the kids back at school. This program is for Women and Girls (14+), and is focused on providing non-competitive cricket opportunities. No previous cricket experience needed, no gear required - its all supplied just bring a water bottle and sun cream! Its all about some fun, building social connections, enjoying the physical and mental wellbeing benefits of being active without the need for structured competition. There's not a hardball, pads or helmet in sight, but there are bats and balls and lots of laughs. We do have a little incentive for the first few to register We have purchased a number of Eildon Park social shirts to giveaway to the first 12 to register, but there is a little caveat, and that is that this will be subject to size availability, as to make this happen we had to put an order in early! We'd love to hand these out and have you show them off on the ground. Web link here: https://www.playhq.com/cricket-australia/register/713d7b or QR code in the image

Keeping the Hospitality team happy (we think)
We all know just how much work our Hospitality team of Burnie, CD and Doz put in. And as much as they love the banter (and so do we) we thought maybe they could do with a little less time washing the dishes. So with the help of Knox Council and the Minor Grants program we have secured and installed a new dishwasher. Not sure this will diminish the arguments about how to do things, probably just add a new dimension and questions about who did and didn't fill it, or empty it. But we are happy to help the team out. Big thanks to Knox Council for their ongoing support of the clubs, and for providing us with the grant funding.
Saturday Happy Hour
Happy Hour is on every Saturday this season in the Social Rooms. From 4:00-5:30pm it's $5 beers, $6 wines, and $7 bubbles and mixed spirits. Come down, watch the last few hours of the day and catch up with your clubmates. Members and their guests only, 18+. Not valid with any other club discounts. Please drink responsibly.
