Two important dates are coming up at the Raiders:

  • Annual General Meeting: Thursday 16th September, 7:00 pm
  • Busy Bee: Saturday 18th September 8 am

Busy Bee

The busy bee to clean up and pack the club away for the end of the season is coming up on Saturday 18 September between 8 and 10 am. 

Last year’s busy bee was a great effort, many hands did make light work and we were all finished in around 2 hours. To make sure just a few don’t get stuck doing all the jobs, once again we have broken the big clean down into lots of smaller jobs so that each team has a job. Each job should take less than an hour per team. The clubhouse has been well cleaned and looked after this season (thank you everyone!) so the job is a bit easier. Yay!

If you cannot make it, please delegate the job to someone else on your team, or maybe we can arrange a time for you to do your job earlier on a different date or time. Many hands will make everybody’s job much quicker and we can get it done in hopefully an hour or two at the most. 

Please bring along your gloves and cleaning gear. We’ll have some stuff but more always helps.
