Welcome to Roos News!
Can you believe we will be heading in to Round 9 on the weekend of 15/16 June, this season is flying by so quickly, before we know it, it will be finals time. We have been very impressed by how the teams have been performing so far and wish you all the best in keeping this up.
Election Day – Our Democracy Sausage
WOW! On the 18th of May was Election Day, it was also a home game. Bring those two things together and BANG, what a day at Willoughby Park. It was a mad house with orders of sausages on a rolls, bacon and egg rolls and of course our signature Roo roll coming in thick and fast, there were a lot of hungry voters!
A special shout out to those people who stayed and helped serve at the canteen, cook on the BBQ and did trips to Woolies to replenish our stock. Even though it was busy and stressful, it was a successful day for the Club in terms of monies raised. Thank you again!
Team work makes the dream work!
Mother’s Day
It was a wonderful Thursday night training session on the 9th of May for our mums. We hope all our mums had a great night and know how much we appreciate all they do for our club, from cheering from the sidelines to washing jerseys to cutting up oranges to serving in our canteen. We are hoping to make it a tradition at the Club to just stop, thank our mums and ensure they are spoilt either at a training session or game day around Mother’s Day.
NSWRL Junior League Volunteer Recognition
The NSWRL is endeavouring to acknowledge and reward the amazing grass roots Clubs and Volunteers with a range of awards across all different facets of the game.
From awards for coaches to clubs and volunteers, you have the opportunity to nominate both individuals and clubs for recognition of their hard work and commendable commitment to the game.
If there is someone (or multiple people) you feel should be nominated for what they do for our Club, here is your opportunity. Competition will be tough, however by simply nominating a person is often gratification enough for them to know they are making a difference.
There are various closing dates, some end this week, others next month. If you would like to nominate please click here
Women’s State of Origin
We would LOVE to take you to the Women’s State of Origin on Friday 21st June for FREE. We will be organising transport from Willoughby Park to North Sydney Oval and back again, starting from 5pm. We do understand not everyone can be there at that time, we will be running a later trip or two to the Oval.
If you are interested in attending please follow this link to order your tickets. There is a maximum of FOUR (4) per family. If ticket allocation is exhausted you will still be able to purchase via Ticketek or at the gate.
Our aim is to have a Roos area where we wear our Club colours with pride!
Assistance on Game Day
Thank you to all the parents, carers and friends who help us on game day by volunteering their time to help with the canteen, BBQ and adhoc jobs. It is very much appreciated.
Keep an eye out before a home game as your team manager will send you a link to SignUp Genius to register if you are able to help out on these days.
It is the unfortunate fact that if slots are not filled, it falls back to the coaches and managers (and others from the committee) to complete the outstanding duties themselves.
Many hands make light work!
As always a big shout out to our sponsors, your generosity is much appreciated!
Go Roos!
Regards
The Roos Committee
