What happening this week, and in the future....

Basketball Friday Night

As the contractors have now moved inside to the gym this is unavailable to play there this week so all games that were set down to play at St Bede's College are now being played at the Celebration Centre which is over by Cowles Stadium. The entrance to the stadium is off Dolamore Street which runs off Bickerton Street.

Cricket Pre Season Training

The Cricket Club have arranged for Pre Season Winter Training Sessions to be held at Lincoln University. For the majority of the club there will be 4 training days and for 1st XI and Australian Trip there will be 6. We have received positive feedback from these training sessions in previous years and they are well worth attending. Ben will have his full Coaching Staff on board to work alongside each player.

Date for the training sessions are:

• 20 August 2017 Lincoln Pre Season Training 1st XI & Australian Trip
  
• 27 August 2017 Lincoln Pre Season Training 1st XI & Australian Trip
  
• 2 September 2017 Lincoln Pre Season Training Entire Club
  
• 9 September 2017 Lincoln Pre Season Training Entire Club
  
• 16 September 2017 Lincoln Pre Season Training Entire Club
  
• 23 September 2017 Lincoln Pre Season Training Entire Club
  

The times for each level will be set once numbers have been received. Ben will tailor make trainings to suit each bracket. We have booked the facilities from 9am-1pm for first two sessions and from 10am-1pm for following four sessions. We anticipate these trainings will be approx 1.5-2hrs long.

Unfortunately due to unsuccessful funding applications the Club is having to charge a small cost for these sessions. This cost will cover the lane hire only and the Club will cover the costs of the Coaching.

Cost are:

• $60 for 1st XI & Aussie Teams
  
• $40 for rest of club
