Everyone, from players to parents are asked to dress up, with fun prizes to be awarded for the Best crazy dressed players and Best crazy dressed team.
Players from NetSetGo to Divisions 1, 2 and 3 will be able to let their hair go wild, with no uniforms to be worn on the day.
Joggers must be worn for safety reasons, and entry for the day is a gold coin donation. Donations of cakes, slices and anything saleable will be sold to raise funds for the day.
A 100 Club is also being run, and any donations of saleable goods should be given into the canteen. A BBQ will be operating, and volunteers are needed to cook the food, and help in the canteen.
Thousands of dollars are raised each year from the netball associations, for The Kids Cancer Project for child cancer research.
Fun all round will be the theme for the day. A donation bucket will also be available on Saturday.
Dubbo carnival
Players from Forbes will be traveling to Dubbo this Sunday for their annual carnival. More players are needed for the 11 years teams. Please put your name down at the office on Saturday. A bus will be running to Dubbo. Umpiring help is needed, for the five teams entered.
Parkes carnival
The Parkes carnival will be held Sunday week, and names of players must be in by this Saturday when entries close. There is a possibility of two teams of 10/11 years, but this will depend on availability of players, and names put down this week.
Teams do not have to be representative teams to enter any of the carnivals. Private transport will be needed for Parkes. Umpiring help is needed for the teams.
Canteen and office duty: Parents and families of teams playing on court four are asked to help in the office and canteen during their children's game. Teams will be rostered for duty and games cannot be started until help is available. Thank you to all the volunteers, coaches and umpires, who help every week.

Schools netball
On Wednesday, May 3 our PSSA team went to the local netball courts to play Forbes Public School. Most of our team was nervous. It was such a close game especially in the first and second quarters. It was point for point and at the end of the second quarter, we were behind.
When we realised that we were behind, we all knew it was time to try really hard and we worked so well together. At the end of the game we were ahead by 14 points.
We were extremely happy to win the game and now we are going to Dubbo next week to play in the next round. I am so proud of my team. I would like to thank Miss Ari Kenny, Miss McManus and Robyn Kenny for helping us prepare and taking us to our games.
