Gday All
Tomorrow BB and myself will be down at the field filming a video promoting club safety, this may not be ALL we are doing, that's just what the committee thinks is happening.
Additionally our "Producer" will not be present so expect poetic licence to be liberally applied.
So, can you please all be on your worst behaviour?
Finally, here is a weather briefing;
