Canteen news – Division 1 and 2 teams that are playing on court 4 are on canteen duty for this week.
Division 3 teams will be rostered after the long weekend.
All parents are reminded that they must complete their canteen duty to receive their canteen levy back.
A new system for the 11-10am rounds of Division 2 and 3, will be introduced from this week.
Anyone wanting hot chips after their games, will from now on, be required to order the chips by the half time break in the last round of competition.
This is to help with the volunteers who are doing a fantastic job in the canteen, not being over run by orders, after the games, and then have to cook and stay back and clean up, after everyone leaves.
The chips are very popular, and congratulations to the volunteers who are doing a fantastic job cooking them.
The canteen is the biggest fundraiser for the FNA, and profits from sales helps to keep the fees to a minumum.
Competition news
There will be no Saturday competition over the long weekend.
There have been some minor player changes to some of the teams, to even up the divisions.
Please check on Saturday for these changes.
Parkes carnival
Parkes will be holding their annual carnival this Sunday.
There are two 10/11 years teams entered, as well as the rep 12, 13 and 15 years teams.

Help is urgently needed from umpires, so these teams can play at Parkes.
