Get2Go Overnight

Hi Team,
Sorry it has taken so long to get this information up on the blog. Here are the details for the overnight on the 23rd and 24th of November (who can believe we go to great barrier in three weeks!!), this camp will only involve the eight selected for great barrier. Please read through it carefully, and call me if you have any questions. I will update it through the week, and remember that there are no training's this week.

Meet at WGHS gym at 7.30 am- we will be loading the trailer. I also thought that this would save some parents having to drop you out to the Farm. I will be needing a couple of parents to help with transport.

At the moment we have planned to have Steve Gurney come and speak to you at 8.30am that morning, as well as any parents or family members that are keen. There is a small cost involved, $15 per person. It would be fantastic to get all the squad along to this, as his experiences and knowledge is far beyond anyone else's and how often do you have him to answer questions. I need to know numbers for this so please text me with how many people plan to come along so I can sort out a venue. This is open to Junior and Senior Squad members.
