2011 HIGHLIGHTS

GOLD SAINTS 2012
Mark Saturday April 28 down in the diary for the 1st Gold Saints Lunch for 2012. The lunch will be held to mark our first home game for season 2012, against Bulleen Templestowe.

2012 Membership details and ways to pay will be sent out in the next week or so so start saving.

I need you to bring a friend as a member this year. Please get in the ear of your old friends from the club and get them to contact me via email or please supply me with their details. We had 56 members last year, two great lunches and Ian Dicker was a fine guest speaker. My aim is to get 85 plus members this year and there will be more good times in store so for a $100.00 membership, there is no excuse!
