Hi again Members,
Bring yourself up to date in our final members update before our big day on Sunday!
Presentation Day: Who will take home the Derek Mitchell Trophy for Player’s Player of 2022? Who will be crowned Rep Player of the Year? And who will be recognised with the Christine Bradshaw Memorial Trophy for Most Enthusiastic? These and other awards are just part of the proceedings starting from 10am on Sunday at the Ferodale clubrooms. There will also be free food, drinks for a gold coin donation, and merchandise for sale or pick-up. This is a COVID safe event, and you will be required to check-in and show proof of vaccination on entry. If you plan on attending, please RSVP via the Events page on Team App:

The AGM is typically not a long affair, where the Committee Report and Annual Financial Statement are submitted, before the 2021 committee is dissolved and a new committee installed for 2022. Anyone wanting to nominate for the committee in 2022 can fill in an application form on the day, or download one from the website:

Items can also be purchased through the online store, and we have some exciting new stock on order for 2022. Keep an eye out for when the new gear arrives and look your best in club colours in the new year.
Sunday Training: No training this week (although there might be a Sherrin around the clubrooms at Ferodale), but the numbers to training over the last few weeks have been very strong. As always, it’s very relaxed and informal, with plenty of good banter, and is typically followed by a trip to the Lambton Park Hotel for those so inclined. Keep an eye on Facebook and Team App for more details, and as always, these sessions take place according to NSW Health guidelines for community sport.
