Juniors – please ensure your Coach and/or Manager knows whether you will be returning for
post-Christmas so they pass on this information to the Cricket Managers will be deciding how many teams WPC will nominate and at what level.
Registrations: Club registrations for Post-Christmas are now open and the links are:
Blasters https://www.playhq.com/cricket-australia/register/766f5b
Juniors Mixed Teams https://www.playhq.com/cricket-australia/register/1351dc
For the Juniors Mixed Teams, we have a full season registration available at the start of the
summer season. However, MSW break up the registration process into pre-Christmas and post-Christmas. So, any players who have registered and paid for the full season need to register for the post-Christmas to be included in that competition. These players will receive a PlayHQ voucher equivalent to the cost of the post-Christmas registration so that they don't have to pay anything. Voucher codes will be sent out to the individual players concerned so they can do the post-Christmas registration.
Please note: For Juniors – the last day to register and ensure placement in a team is 10
January.
Training Activities: There are a number of pre-season activities already planned, and the key
dates are as below. It is expected that these activities will occur at CJ Greenfield. They are
available only for registered players.
Juniors – bowling master class training sessions with Surnga Lakmal, former Sri Lankan Test Captain – Sunday 11 January - probably in 2 sessions 9am – 12 noon and a batting master class with Nathan Reardon, former Australian and Qld player - Saturday 17 January – probably in 2 sessions 8.30am-12.30pm - times and further details are to be confirmed
Girls – we are working on specific training session for you - time and further details are to be advised
Juniors – team training sessions will re-commence in the week beginning 26 January

children 5-17 years to assist with the payment of fees. Apply here https://www.qld.gov.au/recreation/sports/funding/playon/apply If you want to use one of these it is preferable that you delay your registration until you have it.

Updates: Please keep an eye on our Facebook https://www.facebook.com/wpccricket
Instagram https://www.instagram.com/wpc.cricket/# for updates and website
https://www.wpccricket.com.au/ where you will find the club events calendar and other
information about our programs and people.
Volunteers: As some of our Junior teams will be reorganised we will need new volunteers. It is vital that each team has a Coach and Manager for the team to function effectively. Pre-Christmas we had 2 teams without this which makes it hard on the 1 volunteer who has stepped up. For those people who take on a specific role a volunteer reward is available. Please think about what you can do and how you can help. If you are interested in volunteering with the club, please contact Ellen Ferris secretary@wpccricket.com.au or the relevant Cricket Manager.
Questions or Feedback: Please contact Ellen Ferris secretary@wpccricket.com.au if you
