We URGENTLY need club members to volunteer for 1 of the following 3 vacant positions – Junior Cricket Manager, Equipment Officer and First Aid Contact, Merchandise Officer. If we are not able to fill them then tasks usually done by these roles will not be done e.g. coordination of the Entry Level teams and programs - Blasters, U10/Stage 1 programs, availability of equipment, acquisition and distribution of clothing. It is unfair to have to ask existing volunteers to take on extra work to cover these roles. Task Sheets for the roles can be found here https://www.wpccricket.com.au/volunteerroles A volunteer reward is available for each of the roles. If you are interested in any of the roles, or can suggest someone we can approach about them then please contact Ellen Ferris secretary@wpccricket.com.au

Another great cricket promotion activity at Grand Ave SS with Renee and Nigel @qldcricket A very busy morning with lots of interest in cricket - the kids had fun trying out their throwing skills. We look forward to seeing some of the kids join either or both of the WPC Cricket or school Blast programs as advertised in the flyers. It was good to meet a number of kids who were already WPC Cricket members. For more information contact Ellen Ferris secretary@wpccricket.com

Great morning at Middle Park State School Under 8s Day with Lilian from Queensland Cricket promoting WPC Cricket and especially our entry level Blaster program. The children had fun testing out their throwing skills and there was quite a bit of interest in cricket and the Blaster program. #blaster

Sharing this on behalf of @Bunnings Oxley who have been supporting WPC with BBQ opportunities and donations of 2 water coolers. Sounds like a fun night - maybe we should enter a WPC team.

Social Smash finished up last Sunday with the Go-Team winning with 83 runs and the A-Team with 56. Everyone has enjoyed this new cricket experience and we are very keen to sign up for the next program. It's been fun, and there's been some great family and cross team rivalry. One comment was that it presented a nice opportunity to do an activity as a family. Thanks to all of the participants and to Renee Sharland and Queensland Cricket for bringing this exciting opportunity to WPC Cricket. Thanks to Dom and Lily for umpiring. We are working with Queensland Cricket to decide when the next round of Social Smash will start.

CJ - Friday BBQs - we are intending to run a BBQ on Friday (weather permitting) for the remaining weeks of this season as a way to engage with our members, create a more social atmosphere and a club fundraiser. This was suggested by Andre Rhule, Girls Cricket Manager and will be run by volunteers. So if you can help out let Andrew girlscricket@wpccricket.com.au know and please come by and purchase a sausage in bread and a drink. Looking forward to seeing you there.

WPC has signed up for the Containers for Change partnership program where not for profit community organisations can have bins located at their facility, get free collections and some money coming to the club. Today Greg White and Ellen Ferris took delivery of our bins from Jay, from the Inala Containers for Change depot Panda Recycling . We are excited that this will mean we can recycle without needing significant volunteer effort, an often time consuming and dirty job. Now it is over to you, our members and visitors to do the right thing and only put containers for change recyclables in the bins - removing any caps or lids. Food scraps or other general waste are to go in the red lid bin as in the picture (please no liquids like partially full coffee cups which unfortunately regularly make their way in there).
