Tickets will be available to purchase at THURSDAY training & SUNDAY. Tickets $2 each or 3 for $5. Winner will be drawn at Half Time during the Mother's Day Div 1 Womens Showcase Match.  Sunday 11th May - Womens & Girls Mother's Day Showcase Matches Division 1 Women 3pm - BNUSC v Forest Rangers Under 14 Girls 11am - BNUSC v Ballarat  Female Guard of Honour - an all female guard of honour to welcome both teams onto the pitch - tell all the ladies and girls you know to join in!  Wear a touch of pink and purple (colours of female football week).

Did you know BNUSC is run entirely by volunteers (that's right, every coach, committee member, coordinator, even the people you suspect may actually live at Russell Square!), we're ALL volunteers! We’re inviting parents and players to come along and learn how to use our soccer pitch marking machine—it’s easy, quick, and a huge help! If a few of us can take turns marking the lines every couple of weeks, it will save our President Dave doing it in torrential rain on a public holiday. Even just one pitch each. The council mark the lines for us at the start of the season, but it's up to us to maintain them. And it's not a big job if it gets done regularly. Get your daily step count up, pop on some headphones and off you go! It's practically a meditation and mindfulness self care session!  Join us for a quick demo with our VP Nic, and help keep our club running strong! 5:30pm Thursday MATE (May 8)
