Gulgong Polocrosse Club

It hardly seems possible that a whole year has passed since Gulgong Polocrosse Club hosted the NSW Zone Championships – despite having to relocate to Dunedoo it was a huge success and our own players performed extremely well. Fingers crossed the weather will be kind to us this year and the annual Club Carnival is set to take place over the weekend of 27th – 28th August 2011. We will be expecting at least 250 players to participate in the tournament with grades ranging from A Grade right down to sub-junior. The Club itself will be fielding teams across all the grades, and playing on home turf will give players a steely determination to see that the trophies are kept firmly in our cabinet!!

So, with more than a few local faces out on the field, there’s no excuse not to come down and give them some support as they battle it out in. For anyone unfamiliar with the game of Polocrosse, it is a very relaxed affair – no need for hats and high heels here!! Dress warmly and comfortably as play starts at 8am on both days and then games are held almost continuously throughout the day for nonstop action! There is no entrance fee to the event but parking is limited. Please note that NO DOGS are allowed anywhere within the grounds. The club canteen will be offering hot and cold food and drinks throughout the day and a number of raffles and prizes will be up for grabs over the weekend. There will also be some trade stands to browse in between games and a chance to chat with local players if you fancy coming and having a go yourself one weekend!

Of course NONE of this would be possible if it were not for the incredibly generosity of our sponsors. Coming from many different areas of our local community they have not hesitated in offering sponsorship, goods, services and prizes to enable us to get the whole thing off the ground and for that we THANK YOU!!!!!!! We are still actively seeking sponsors for this year’s carnival - with players travelling from all over the state, it is a great way for local businesses to promote their goods and services. There are numerous sponsorship packages available and more information can be found at our website www.gulgongpolocrosseclub.webs.com or contact Club Secretary Jackie O’Hare on 0417 061882 / 63733570 / jackie@bordernet.com.au
