This will be a fantastic addition to our club, especially for families who have children playing in multiple teams, supporters who can’t make it to games, and loved ones who live further away but still want to follow along and support our players.
As a volunteer-run club, fundraising is incredibly important in helping us continue to grow and improve what we can offer our players and supporters.
Mark your calendars for Thursday 12th November, with doors opening at 6pm and balls dropping from 7pm. Expect a huge night of bingo, drag performances, laughs, prizes and plenty of community spirit, all hosted by our fabulous Piano Bar Queens. The night will wrap up around 9:30pm.
